USCIS recently announced during September 16, 2009 Stakeholders conference that this type of fund Regional Center must state at I-526 petition submission stage what projects the investors will be investing in. This appears to mean the projects’ descriptions cannot be general in nature, such as “will be invested in hotel construction and/or shopping center construction” but must be specific description. The logical rationale for this policy is to make this “fund” type of regional center to have specific projects set up for investors’ participation, instead of the other way around. However, in the real-life commercial context, it’s very, very difficult to line up multiple number of EB-5 projects in which investors’ funds will be spread around.
