EB–5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022; Ensuring the Integrity of the EB–5 Program; Automatic Revocation of Petitions for Immigrant Classification

This proposed rule would implement the EB–5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (RIA), which the President signed on March 15, 2022. The RIA substantially reforms and adds significant integrity provisions to the employment-based, fifth preference (EB–5) visa category for alien investors and the associated Regional Center Program. In general, under the EB–5 program, aliens are eligible to apply for lawful permanent resident status in the United States if they make the necessary investment in a new commercial enterprise in the United States and create 10 permanent full-time jobs for qualified U.S. workers.
