9/17 EB-5 Interactive (I-924A), New RCs

9/17 EB-5 Interactive (I-924A)
Today USCIS held the EB-5 Interactive Series: Annual Reporting Requirements for Continued Eligibility within the Regional Center Program, (Form I-924A). I have uploaded my recording here, and will update this post with helpful commentary posted others. The teleconference focused strictly on the Form I-924A, and provided filing tips and suggestions for avoiding a Notice of Intent to Terminate. I gathered two main points: (1) take the Form I-924A seriously, because your Regional Center’s continued eligibility really does depend on what you report in this form; (2) when in doubt, explain. The form has confusing and ambiguous fields, and a Regional Center’s activity in a given year may extend beyond the investment and job creation boxes, so USCIS welcomes supplementary narrative. Don’t only fill out the form, but explain the numbers you’re reporting and provide additional content as needed to demonstrate that your center has done something to promote economic growth in the past fiscal year.
