Investor Pilot Program: Regional Centers
Green Cards > Employment Green Card
> Investor Pilot Program: Regional Centers
The government has newly established a pilot program for investors which would
allow investment through regional centers with relaxed job creation requirements
for EB-5 classification. This program has a 3000 visa per year limit.
A regional center must
establish that it can participate in this pilot program by showing how it will
promote economic growth through, among other things, improved regional
productivity, job creation or increased domestic capital investment.
An applicant under this
regional pilot program must meet all of the usual requirements for employment
creation, except he/she can demonstrate that investment in the regional center
will create jobs indirectly beyond the relevant commercial enterprise.
A list of regional centers is
located on the USCIS website at
