Legal Update
EB-5 Grandfathering Deadline: September 30, 2026
EB-5 petitions filed by September 30, 2026 lock in the current rules and investment thresholds under the Regional Center Program's grandfathering provision, even though final adjudication happens later. The Regional Center Program itself is authorized through September 30, 2027, but the required investment amount is scheduled to rise on January 1, 2027 under the statute's CPI-linked adjustment — current estimates put the new minimum near $937,500 for the reserved categories.
For Indian investors, timing matters even more: as of the August 2026 Visa Bulletin, the unreserved EB-5 category is Unavailable for India, while the rural, high-unemployment, and infrastructure set-aside categories remain Current — meaning a correctly filed set-aside petition today faces no backlog.
Planning Tool
Bringing Children on Your EB-5 Petition? Check Their Age-Out Risk
A derivative child's eligibility is protected only while they qualify as a "child" under the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) — and processing delays can push a case past that cut-off. Our free calculator applies the CSPA formula to your priority date and filing history to estimate whether a child is at risk of aging out, and what steps can help.
