Short answer: Under the US EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022, investment amounts adjust for inflation from 1 January 2027. Current levels are about USD 800,000 (TEA) and USD 1,050,000 (non-TEA). Qualifying petitions filed before the adjustment generally keep the amounts then in force. Also track regional-center authorisation (current authorisation through about 30 September 2027).
Information current as of October 2026.
Will amounts definitely rise after 2027?
The act requires inflation adjustment; new figures follow official publication. To lock current amounts, complete a qualifying filing before 2027 with funds and project readiness.
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| 1 January 2027 | Inflation adjustment of investment amounts |
| 30 September 2027 | Current regional-center authorisation ends; Congress must extend |
| Amount at filing | Pre-adjustment qualifying filings generally use amounts then in force |
Do regional centers stop after September 2027?
Current authorisation ends then and needs a congressional extension. Direct investment does not depend on regional-center authorisation but still faces the amount adjustment. See US EB-5.
What should be ready on source of funds?
Source-of-funds files and project diligence are usually the bottleneck. Back-plan: complete source file → subscription and wire → counsel filing.
Can NIW be assessed in parallel?
Yes, but coordinate strategy and disclosure. Pure capital profiles should not force NIW; strong professional profiles should not abandon talent routes only because peers file EB-5.
Global Immigrate note
Put both January and September 2027 on the calendar. Nearly ready families should finish lawful-source and project diligence first. Regional center charges should be referred to as management fees.
