EB-5 Regional Center Directory

Q: What is a USCIS designated regional center?

A regional center is an entity approved by USCIS to sponsor EB-5 investment projects. Under the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (RIA), regional centers must file Form I-956F and comply with enhanced integrity, compliance, and reporting requirements. Regional center designation allows the center to pool EB-5 capital from multiple investors into qualifying projects that create indirect and induced jobs, unlike direct EB-5 investments which require the investor to demonstrate direct job creation.

Q: How does USCIS designate a regional center?

A regional center must submit Form I-956 (Application for Regional Center Designation) to USCIS. The application must demonstrate that the center will promote economic growth, create jobs, and improve regional productivity. Under the RIA, regional centers must also comply with new fund administration, audit, and investor protection requirements. USCIS reviews the application and may approve, deny, or request additional evidence before issuing a designation.

Q: What is Form I-956F and why does it matter?

Form I-956F (Application for Approval of an Investment in a Commercial Enterprise) is the project level approval form introduced by the RIA. Before a regional center can accept EB-5 investment in a specific project, that project must receive I-956F approval from USCIS. The I-956F status of a regional center indicates whether it has at least one project approved and available for investment. Centers without I-956F approval cannot actively accept new EB-5 investors.

Q: What data does EB5Status track about regional centers?

EB5Status compiles data from public USCIS records, Federal Register notices, and FOIA responses. We track designation status (approved, pending, terminated, debarred), geographic scope, I-956F compliance status, industry focus, and year of designation. We do not track or report financial performance, investor returns, or project success rates. All data is presented with its source and trust tier clearly identified.

Q: How should investors evaluate a regional center?

Evaluating a regional center requires examining multiple factors beyond what any directory can provide. Investors should review SEC filings, verify USCIS designation and I-956F status, examine the project business plan, assess the developer track record, review the offering documents with independent counsel, and confirm that fund administration meets RIA requirements. Our due diligence checklist below provides a structured framework for this evaluation.

Q: What does it mean when a regional center is terminated?

USCIS can terminate a regional center designation if the center fails to comply with program requirements, misrepresents material information, or no longer serves the purpose of promoting economic growth. Under the RIA, termination may also result from failure to comply with new integrity and compliance requirements. Investors in projects sponsored by a terminated regional center may face significant consequences for their immigration cases, depending on timing and the specific circumstances of the termination.
