EB-5 Program Extended Until December 7, 2018
Once again, the EB-5 Program has survived for a few more months, until December 7, 2018. At the moment, the program will continue without any changes, so the investment minimums of $1,000,000 (non-Targeted Employment Area) and $500,000 (in Targeted Employment Areas) still stand. However, there is a very high likelihood that these amounts will be increased, and that other changes will be implemented, in the near future.
