Background
Statutory authorization to set aside
visas under the EB–5 Immigrant
Investor Regional Center Program
expired at midnight on June 30, 2021.
See Departments of Commerce, Justice,
and State, the Judiciary, and Related
Agencies Appropriations Act 1993,
Public Law 102–395, 106 Stat. 1828,
§ 610(b), as amended. The Regional
Center Program was originally created
as a pilot program with authorization to
set aside visas under the program for a
five-year period. However, since its
advent in 1992, Congress has
reauthorized or extended the visa setaside under the program at least 30
times, most recently through June 30,
2021. Consolidated Appropriations Act
of 2021, Public Law 116–120, div. O,
title I, § 104, 134 Stat. 1182, 2148
(substituting ‘‘June 30, 2021’’ for
‘‘September 30, 2015’’ in § 610(b) of
Public Law 102–395). Based on the
history of prior Congressional
reauthorizations and extensions, absent
any indication that future
reauthorization is not forthcoming, and
also in the interests of keeping Form I–
924 current, USCIS has decided to
extend this form without change.
Even if the visa set-aside under the
EB–5 Immigrant Investor Regional
Center Program is not reauthorized,
USCIS would need to maintain this
form for the limited use of when the
application indicates that it is an
amendment to an existing regional
center’s name, organizational structure,
ownership, or administration.
