While partial investments are allowed, any change in your source or structure after filing could be viewed as a material change, potentially leading to delays, RFEs, or even denial. In our latest article, Rakesh Patel and Jacqueline Treviño explain: ✅ What counts as a “material change” under USCIS policy ✅ How partial investments should be structured and disclosed ✅ Best practices to avoid RFEs and ensure EB-5 compliance 📘 Read the full article: http://bit.ly/3IRS43u Questions about your EB-5 source of funds or investment timeline?

Really important, timely analysis from Jacqueline Treviño and Rakesh Patel on partial funding of #EB5 investments. It is critical to have a fully thought-out source of funds strategy and to get the details right. My advice: keep it as simple as possible! EB-5 petitions are inherently complex, so take any opportunity to simplify, especially with source of funds matters. And get a good lawyer!

EB-5 Good Faith Investor Protection – What if Both the RC and NCE Shut Down? A real world case: A Chinese mainland–born EB-5 investor placed funds in a Manhattan project in pre-IRA era . Her I-526 was approved, but she’s still waiting in the backlog. Now, both her Regional Center and her NCE have been terminated. The EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act (RIA) created a “good faith investor” safeguard. USCIS policy says that if a Regional Center is terminated, investors generally have 180 days to act—either by re-affiliating their NCE with another RC or amending their petition to show their investment is still “at risk” and capable of creating jobs. But what if the NCE itself is dissolved? If it still exists legally, there may be a path to re-affiliate. If it no longer exists, the investor may have to reinvest in a new NCE, most likely triggering a material change, loss of the original priority date, and essentially starting over. This highlights both the promise and limits of the good faith investor protection. Congress intended to shield investors from failures they didn’t cause, but policy gaps remain. How should USCIS handle cases where both the RC and NCE collapse? Should investors keep their priority date when reinvesting? I welcome thoughts from EB-5 professionals, attorneys, and stakeholders. #EB5 #ImmigrationLaw #InvestmentMigration #USCIS #InvestorProtection
