EB-5 Regional Centers in California

Q: How many regional centers operate in California?

According to public USCIS records and EB5Status tracking data, California has approximately 120 active USCIS designated regional centers. The exact count changes as new centers receive designation and existing ones are terminated, withdraw, or expand their geographic scope. This page displays regional centers whose primary or designated location includes California.

Q: Are all regional centers in California currently accepting investors?

Not necessarily. A regional center may hold active USCIS designation but not have any I-956F approved projects available for investment. Under the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act, each specific project must receive I-956F approval before it can accept EB-5 capital. Check the I-956F status for each center and verify with the center directly before committing funds.

Q: Does EB5Status recommend specific regional centers in California?

No. EB5Status does not rank, endorse, or recommend any regional center. This directory is a neutral resource compiled from public USCIS records and FOIA data. We do not receive referral fees or compensation from any listed regional center. Use our due diligence checklist and evaluation guide to develop your own assessment framework.

Q: Does California have TEA qualifying areas for EB-5 projects?

Many regional center projects are located in Targeted Employment Areas (TEAs), which qualify for the lower $800,000 minimum investment amount. Visit our California TEA data page for information about high unemployment and rural TEA census tracts in California.
