Chary Law releases guidance on EB-5 Visa investment requirements and 2026 deadlines. The firm highlights the September 30, 2026 grandfathering deadline and reduced filing fees for foreign investors seeking U.S. permanent residency.
-- The new resource addresses updated requirements under the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 and emphasizes the September 30, 2026 grandfathering deadline, which represents a crucial filing opportunity for investors seeking U.S. permanent residency through the regional center program. Through the new publication, the firm aims to help investors understand current thresholds and seize strategic advantages before key regulatory shifts take effect.

As Chary Law explains, for 2026, the minimum investment amount stands at $800,000 for projects located in Targeted Employment Areas or rural regions, while standard non-TEA projects require $1,050,000. These thresholds are subject to inflation-based adjustments every five years, with the next increase anticipated around January 1, 2027, according to legal firm analyses of the program's regulatory framework. Investors who file before the 2027 adjustment can lock in the current lower amounts, making timely action financially advantageous for those planning to pursue permanent residency through this pathway.
Ahead of this deadline, Chary Law seeks to offer insights and direct guidance on the application requirements. For example, as detailed in the guide, all EB-5 investments must create or preserve at least 10 full-time jobs for qualifying U.S. workers within two years of the investor's admission as a conditional permanent resident. Successful applicants initially receive conditional residency valid for two years, after which they must file a petition to remove conditions by demonstrating that job creation requirements have been met.
They go on to highlight the September 30, 2026 deadline for filing Form I-526E petitions, a critical date for investors seeking grandfathering protection under the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act. This protection ensures continued processing even if the regional center program later expires. A federal court ruling in November 2025 reduced the I-526E filing fee to approximately $3,675, down from over $11,000, making the program more accessible to foreign investors.
For those in need of additional support, Chary Law is available to assist with I-526E petitions, source of funds documentation, and the full application process, helping clients navigate each stage from initial investment to permanent residency.
