Three dates now shape EB-5 planning for investors, agents and attorneys.
1. November 30, 2026: new USCIS EB-5 fees take effect
The final EB-5 fee rule (91 FR 61940, published September 30) applies to any petition postmarked on or after November 30. For regional center investors, the initial Form I-526E filing fee rises from $3,675 to $7,850, which includes a new $75 EB-5 technology fee. The Integrity Fund fee paid with each I-526E rises from $1,000 to $1,100.
2. January 1, 2027: minimum investment amounts adjust for inflation
The EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 set the minimums at $800,000 for TEA and infrastructure projects and $1,050,000 for all others, with an inflation adjustment due on January 1, 2027. USCIS has not yet published the new amounts.
3. September 30, 2027: the Regional Center Program's current authorization ends
Extending it beyond that date requires action by Congress.
