The EB-5 program expires on 30 September 2016

Since its inception as part of the Immigration Act of 1990, the EB-5 program has had a minimum requirement of $500,000 capital investment. Many residency programs around the world for other countries adjusted their minimum investment amounts to compounded inflation over the years. The inflation adjusted value of $500,000 USD in 1990 is $906,335 USD in 2016 according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

 The EB-5 program is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2016. There are several proposals in the U.S. congress to extend the EB-5 program and these bills suggest an increase in the minimum investment amount from $500,000 USD to $800,000 USD or greater if the program is extended or made permanent. According to many industry experts, if the EB-5 program is extended, there is a high probability that the minimum investment amount will increase significantly.
