Less than 360 Days to Secure Your U.S. Green Card through EB-5 Visa
With less than 360 days remaining, prospective EB-5 investors must act fast to secure their EB-5 visa. The grandfathering provision offers a legal safety net to investors who file their I-526E petition on or before September 30, 2026, by processing their case under current program rules regardless of future policy changes. This means that even if Congress fails to reauthorize the program or introduces significant modifications, grandfathered investors will maintain their priority position and continue processing without interruption.
Here’s everything that you need to know about the next 360 days:
Consequences of Missing the 2026 Deadline
- Potential Program Changes: Risk of increased investment amounts, modified requirements, or program elimination
- Processing Delays: Anticipated filing surge in late 2026 may create USCIS bottlenecks and extended processing times
- Documentation Complexity: EB-5 preparation typically requires 3-6 months, making late 2026 filing increasingly risky
- Higher Costs: Rush preparation fees and premium project placements become necessary as the deadline nears
- Best Projects Sell Out: Increased demand may reduce project selection and drive up associated costs
Why Act Now
- Guaranteed Protection: Your case will keep moving forward, no matter what changes in government or policy happen after 2027.
- $800,000 minimum investment: Complete protection from future immigration policy changes or program modifications
- Continued processing without disruption
