I understand that EB5 Regional Center (RC) cases must be filed by 30.Sep.2026 to be grandfathered into the EB5 category, as the RC program is scheduled to sunset on 30.Sep.2027. Does the same deadline apply to direct investment EB5 filings?

Answer

No. Unlike the RC program, the direct investment EB5 program is not scheduled to sunset on 20.Sep.2027, and is therefore not subject to the grandfathering deadline. (29.Apr.2026)
