September 30, 2026, Deadline Approaches for EB-5 Investor Visa Applicants

The EB-5 investor visa program, established by the US Congress in 1990 to promote economic growth through foreign investment, faces a critical deadline on September 30, 2026. Although the Regional Center Program is authorized until September 30, 2027, immigration experts advise applicants to file by 2026 to secure current eligibility rules and investment thresholds. Starting January 2027, minimum investment amounts will adjust for inflation, potentially increasing financial requirements for later applicants.
