On March 21, 2025, IIUSA, through its legal counsel, submitted a second Joint Status Report (JSR) outlining the association’s and USCIS’s respective positions.
Once again, IIUSA reaffirmed that we do not support reverting to a sustainment period tied to an investor’s conditional residency. Instead, IIUSA continues to advocate for a five (5) year sustainment period – a balanced approach that provides investor certainty, upholds program integrity, and maximizes economic impact. You can read the full JSR at this link.
IIUSA remains steadfast in ensuring that EB-5 policies are developed through a transparent and lawful process that incorporates input from all stakeholders, including investors, agencies, regional centers, and service providers. As detailed in IIUSA’s original compliant, USCIS’s abrupt change violated the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), creating unnecessary confusion and uncertainty.
As the leading voice for the EB-5 industry, IIUSA will continue to fight for policies that reflect Congressional intent and promote the long-term stability of investment-based immigration. We remain committed to advocating for clear, properly enacted regulations that support a thriving EB-5ecosystem.
The EB-5 community deserves certainty, and we remain hopeful that the resolution of this case will provide just that.
