EB–5 Regional Center Program Advisory Committee Authorization Act

This bill would create an EB-5 Regional Center Program Advisory Committee inside U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The EB-5 program lets foreign investors seek green cards by investing in U.S. projects, often through approved regional centers. The committee would have up to 35 members drawn from regional centers and from federal, state, local and Tribal governments, would advise the USCIS Director on improving the program, and would not make recommendations on individual petitions. It would meet at least quarterly, with at least one public meeting, submit an annual report that USCIS would publish in public form, and members would not be paid for their service.
