B. Filing Locations
The regulations provide that EB–5
petitions (Forms I–526 and I–829) must
be filed with the service center having
jurisdiction over the area in which the
new commercial enterprise is or will be
principally doing business. 8 CFR
204.6(b); 8 CFR 216.6(a)(2). Currently,
the Texas and California Service Centers
have jurisdiction to adjudicate EB–5 I–
526 and I–829 petitions. 63 FR 67135
(Dec. 4, 1998). EB–5-related Forms I–
485 must be filed at Texas Service
Center (TSC), regardless of where the
alien resides. See Instructions to Form
I–485, p. 6.
For proposals submitted by regional
centers under the Immigrant Investor
Pilot Program, the regulations provide
that proposals must be submitted to the
‘‘Assistant Commissioner for
Adjudications,’’ a position held at the
Headquarters of the former Immigration
and Naturalization Service (INS).
However, this position was rendered
obsolete following the abolishment of
INS in March 2003. See 6 U.S.C. 291;
Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public
Law 107–296, 116 Stat. 2135 (Nov. 25,
2002). No parallel position is present in
USCIS. In the absence of further
guidance, regional centers wishing to
participate in the Immigrant Investor
Pilot Program have been submitting
their proposals to the Chief of Service
Center Operations.
In an effort to improve the
consistency and timeliness of EB–5related adjudications, USCIS has
determined that it is necessary to
consolidate such adjudications under
the jurisdiction of the CSC. USCIS has
established a unit at the CSC comprised
of specially-trained adjudicators
dedicated to EB–5 adjudications. The
deciding official will be the Director of
the CSC. By consolidating adjudications
at the CSC, USCIS believes that it will
be able to reduce overall processing
times and better monitor EB–5-related
adjudications.

transition periods, any Forms I–526, I–
829, and I–485 (EB–5-related only) or
regional center proposals that are
received at a location other than the
address specified in this Notice will be
rejected and returned with directions to

to the CSC. In addition, any regional
center proposals for which no
adjudicative action has commenced as
of January 26, 2009 will be forwarded to
the CSC.
III. Paperwork Reduction Act
USCIS is amending the instructions to
the Forms I–485, I–526 and I–829 to
reflect the new filing location.
Accordingly, USCIS has submitted
Information Correction Worksheets
(OMB 83–C) to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act. The instruction changes
will not impose any new reporting or
recordkeeping requirements. The OMB
control number for these collections are
contained in 8 CFR 299.5, Display of
control numbers.
