Navigating the Final Push: Meeting the EB-5 Grandfathering Deadline

The EB-5 Regional Center Program's current authorization runs through September 30, 2026. A petition properly filed on or before that date is grandfathered under current law — USCIS continues to process it even if the program is not reauthorized afterward. For investors whose capital is not yet fully in place, the real question is practical: what routes actually get you funded and filed in time?

In this one-hour briefing, Jenny Zhan (Founder & CEO, Beyond International Group) and Grayson Hinkel (IRA Specialist, Inspira Financial) walk through the funding and filing routes that can compress a timeline without cutting corners — and where each one reaches its limit.

What We Will Cover

1. Leveraging partial funding — what the filing requirements permit, and what they do not.
2. Self-directed IRA strategy — how the account works as an EB-5 funding source, and where its limits are.
3. Finding counsel ready to file on a short timeline — what to look for in an attorney when the runway is measured in weeks.
4. Building a realistic timeline back from September 30 — the milestones that have to fall into place, and by when.
5. Live Q&A — bring your questions; we'll answer them live.
