September 30, 2026 grandfathering deadline
TL;DR
The Reform Act's $800K set-aside is grandfathered for petitions filed by September 30, 2026. After that, the program could change.
The EB-5 Reform & Integrity Act of 2022 authorized the current $800K set-asides through September 30, 2026. If Congress does not reauthorize before that date, post-deadline filings face uncertainty: higher investment thresholds, program suspension, or rule changes.
- •Petitions filed on or before Sept 30, 2026 are grandfathered under current rules — even if the program lapses temporarily after.
- •Source-of-funds documentation typically takes 6-10 weeks to assemble.
- •Subscription and capital commitment to a Regional Center project takes 2-4 weeks.
- •Working backward: practical "safe" filing window is to start by July 2026 at the latest.
