EB5 is enshrined in law. President Trump cannot end or amend the program till it grandfathers in 2.5 yrs. Only Congress, requiring a 60-seat majority, is able to amend or end EB5, and that would take months given the current congressional divide. Until then, once an EB5 application is filed, it cannot be changed retroactively.
Since President Trump stated his opinion on EB5, we can see he has backtracked to a degree. We assume that the cost may increase considerably once EB5 is repealed following the grandfathering of EB5 September 2027.
EB5 has seen upheavals before, each time leading to a surge of applicants filing before any changes might come in. Once an application is filed, applicable law at the time of filing applies. For the time being, the EB5 program remains intact.
How soon can we file your I-526E EB5 application?
We feel quite confident that if you are ready to begin your EB5 application process soon, we would be able to file your I-526E petition ahead of any Trump-driven changes.
EB5 is governed by US law under the Reform & Integrity Act March 2022. This makes clear that all I-526E petition filings become grandfathered (protected) against any post-filing amendments to EB5. This means your application will be processed even if future legislative changes take place.
We work with elite EB5 projects and have no bias, save for our personal favorites. Our EB5 experience spans 10 years. We know what constitutes an outstanding project.
Right now, we’re in the midst of a surge in applications. Visas are still current for most countries, but that will soon change.
What can we do if your funds aren’t fully ready?
If your funds aren’t quite ready, but you would like to file quickly, under EB5 rules, we can partially file with a reduced sum then complete the filing when your funds are ready. An initial partial filing has the same protective status as a full filing. Both provide a receipt and priority number issued by the USCIS whilst placing you in the queue for adjudication and approval.
We also have projects which provide multi-year EB5 loans.
Join the 100% Club: Our team is ready to power you through an EB5 application and join our hundreds of applicants 100% of whom received I-526 approval at adjudication.
