The EB-5 investment program has become even more accessible and investors wishing to move to the United States have the opportunity to invest in the country a smaller amount. Until June 30, 2021, the investment threshold for the program will be US$ 500,000 instead of US$ 900,000.
“This window of opportunity is a result of the success of a lawsuit that aimed to challenge USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) regulations which violated the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) signed by the former Secretary of Homeland Security in November 2019. This was based on the fact that the former Secretary wasn’t serving his position lawfully, he signed the Final Rule in July 2019.” – write biznews.
