成立于1990年的EB-5移民投资者计划随着2022年EB-5改革与诚信法案（RIA）的颁布而发生了重大变化。了解该法律对潜在投资者至关重要，因为它包括深入了解美国政府未来将如何处理最低EB5投资额的增加。上调预计将于2027年1月生效，距离现在还有不到两年半。
从历史上看，非目标就业领域的EB5最低投资额为100万美元，项目的最低投资额为50万美元 目标就业区 (TEA)，失业率高或农村地位高的地区。2022年的《改革与诚信法》大幅提高了这些门槛，以反映该计划启动以来的经济变化。现在，新的EB 5签证最低投资金额要求为105万美元，TEAS的投资额降至80万美元]以及对基础设施项目进行资格认证。
RIA法律中的一项重要要求要求从2027年1月1日起每五年自动调整投资门槛。这些调整将基于劳工统计局报告的所有城市消费者消费者价格指数（CPI-U）的年度累计百分比变化。这样可以确保投资金额与通货膨胀和经济状况保持一致，从而防止在不进行调整的情况下再延长一段时间。
使用2022年1月1日至2024年7月31日的消费者价格指数数据，我们可以了解通货膨胀对投资门槛的影响。截至2024年7月31日，CPI-U指数为314.340，反映了自2021年12月278.802以来的累计变化12.75％。这些实时数据为通货膨胀如何影响EB-5投资要求提供了宝贵的见解。
门槛的提高和自动调整反映了国会的公共政策选择，以确保EB-5计划保持切实可行并反映当前的经济状况。这意味着更高的初始投资。了解自动调整有助于投资者更好地规划财务，因为他们知道要求将随着通货膨胀而变化。
对于潜在的EB-5投资者而言，RIA带来的变化标志着投资格局的重大转变。该计划旨在通过纳入基于通货膨胀的自动调整来保持相关性和经济可行性。投资者应随时了解这些变化，并在计划中考虑未来可能的增长。
那么增长会是什么样子呢？根据桃树集团EB-5团队的保守计算，2027年1月，我们预计最低投资门槛将从80万美元提高到90万美元至97.5万美元之间。以下是我们得出这个结论的方式。
为了设定基准，桃树集团团队审查了2021年12月21日至2024年8月14日的相关消费者价格指数数字，并根据美联储每年2％的目标通货膨胀率预测了未来的消费者价格指数增长，以显示预计的消费者价格指数数字（蓝线）。
使用这些数据，该团队为目标就业区域金额的项目金额创建了界限，并审查了三种情景：
根据2024年7月公布的最新通货膨胀率（每年1.4％），截至2027年1月1日的投资门槛将提高至90万美元。（黄线）
如果从今天起通货膨胀率稳定在美联储每年2％的目标，那么截至2027年1月1日，投资门槛将为90万美元（绿线）
如果通货膨胀率继续保持自2022年1月1日参考日以来的累计平均水平（每年4.9％），则截至2027年1月1日的投资门槛将提高至97.5万美元（红线）
根据法律和统计数据以及到2027年的推断，我们得出的结论是，我们预计从2027年1月起，最低投资门槛将提高到90万美元至97.5万美元之间。
你现在能做什么？
即使根据历史数据进行假设，也没有人能确定未来会怎样。但是，我们所知道的是，每个RIA的最低EB5投资额将自动调整，这些调整预计将于2027年1月生效，距离今天不到2.5年。

ATLANTA (April 2025) – Peachtree Group (“Peachtree”) has successfully secured U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) approval for four regional centers: Peachtree South Regional Center, Peachtree Northeast Regional Center, Peachtree Midwest Regional Center and Peachtree West Regional Center. These approvals allow Peachtree to independently structure and sponsor EB-5 projects within the designated territories, streamlining the investment process and enhancing efficiency in bringing deals to market.
The approved regional centers cover the continental U.S., giving Peachtree a national footprint to expand its EB-5 program. With these approvals, the firm plans to scale its EB-5 efforts, increase deal volume and seamlessly integrate EB-5 capital into its broader investment strategy.
Peachtree launched its EB-5 program in 2023 with the appointment of Adam Greene as executive vice president. Since then, the program has received three I-956F approvals for hotel developments, including Home2 Suites by Hilton in Boone, N.C.; TownePlace Suites by Marriott in Palmdale, CA.; and SpringHill Suites by Marriott in Bryce Canyon City, Utah.
The Regional Center approvals, granted by USCIS, represents a critical milestone in facilitating EB-5 investment opportunities. Previously, Peachtree relied on third-party regional centers, which added complexity and extended processing times. Now, with its own approved regional centers, the firm can directly manage and file EB-5 investments, significantly reducing timelines and enhancing control over its platform.
“These approvals mark a major milestone for Peachtree, solidifying our ability to independently execute EB-5 transactions and accelerate our investment initiatives,” Greene said. “With this expanded capacity, we can efficiently sponsor and structure projects, further driving economic development and job creation across the country.”
Peachtree has built a strong reputation in commercial real estate investment, and the newly established regional centers align with its long-term vision of diversifying and optimizing its capital sources.
"Implementing an EB-5 program is an excellent way to access low-cost capital, diversify our funding sources and invest in job-creating projects across the country," said Greg Friedman, Peachtree's CEO and managing principal.
The EB-5 visa program allows foreign investors to obtain a green card in exchange for making a significant investment in a new commercial enterprise that creates jobs in the U.S. Under the program, foreign nationals who invest a minimum of $800,000 in a U.S.-based project that creates or preserves at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers are eligible to apply for permanent residency in the U.S.
"Looking ahead, we are committed to expanding our EB-5 footprint by increasing the number of qualifying projects and deepening our engagement with EB-5 investors. With a proven investment track record, national reach and execution expertise, Peachtree is well-positioned to leverage these approvals and solidify its leadership in the EB-5 investment sector," Greene added.

ATLANTA (April 28, 2024) – Peachtree Group("Peachtree") has received its I-956F approval from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the government agency that oversees the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, for the currently under construction SpringHill Suites by Marriott in Bryce Canyon, Utah.
The I-956F approval, granted by USCIS, marks a crucial step in Peachtree’s ongoing efforts to facilitate investment opportunities through the EB-5 program, which is designed to promote economic growth and job creation in the U.S.
“Securing USCIS approval for this project marks an important milestone,” said Adam Greene, executive vice president of EB-5 at Peachtree. “It highlights our continued focus on structuring and originating capital for high-quality developments that generate economic impact and long-term value for investors and communities.”
Peachtree originated $16.95 million in floating-rate construction financing over a three-year term for the development of a 127-room SpringHill Suites in Bryce Canyon, Utah. The hotel will be located about 10 minutes from Bryce Canyon National Park, one of the most iconic natural attractions in the United States. Known for its dramatic geological formations, the park draws more than 2 million visitors annually. The hotel is expected to be completed by mid-2025.
This is the third hotel development for which Peachtree has received I-956F approval, having previously secured it for its Home2 Suites by Hilton development in Boone, N.C.,and TownePlace Suites by Marriott in Palmdale, Calif.
“With strong travel demand, limited new supply and favorable market tail winds, well-located, newly developed assets are positioned to out perform their competitive set,” said Greene. “Construction is already underway, reducing project risk, and the firm has retained an equity stake aligned with our EB-5 investors — reinforcing our commitment and directly tying our success to theirs.”
Peachtree launched its EB-5 program in 2023 as a key financing tool to support job-creating projects nationwide. The firm remains committed to delivering high-quality investment and development opportunities through its expanding portfolio of EB-5 projects.
The EB-5 visa program allows foreign investors to obtain a green card in exchange for making a significant investment in a new commercial enterprise that creates jobs in the U.S. Under the program, foreign nationals who invest a minimum of $800,000 in a U.S.-based project that creates or preserves at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers are eligible to apply for permanent residency.
If you're working in the United States on an H-1B visa and seeking permanent residency, the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program offers a promising path forward. This comprehensive guide walks you through the process of transitioning from an H-1B to an EB-5 visa, helping you understand your options to make an informed decision about your immigration journey.
The H-1B visa is a temporary, employer-sponsored visa that ties you to a specific company. You need to win a lottery to get one, and you'll face regular renewal requirements. Plus, your stay in the U.S. is always dependent on your employment status.
The EB-5 visa, on the other hand, offers a direct path to permanent residency. No employer sponsorship needed! With an EB-5 visa, you can:
Yes, while it's not exactly a "conversion," you can apply for an EB-5 visa while maintaining your H-1B status. Here are the key requirements for an EB-5 visa:
Acceptable funding sources for H-1B holders include:
The transition from H-1B to EB-5 status typically requires between 4 to 18 months, depending on USCIS processing times. Your immigration journey begins with selecting and investing in a qualified EB-5 project. Once you've made your investment, you'll submit your petition to USCIS. During this waiting period, maintaining your current H-1B status provides important immigration security.
The concurrent filing option presents an interesting opportunity for H-1B holders pursuing EB-5 visas. This process allows you to receive an Employment Authorization Document and advance parole privileges (travel authorization) immediately after filing your EB-5 petition. These benefits enable work authorization independent of your H-1B employer and facilitate international travel. However, immigration attorneys often advise maintainingH-1B status throughout the EB-5 process, as switching to concurrent filing status may prevent you from returning to H-1B status if needed.
The journey from H-1B to permanent residency through the EB-5 program represents a significant opportunity for foreign workers in the United States. While the $800,000 investment requirement is substantial, the benefits of permanent residency and workplace freedom make it an attractive option form any H-1B professionals. Consulting with qualified immigration attorneys helps ensure you understand all aspects of the process and make the visa choice aligned with your long-term immigration goals.
Converting from an H-1B to an EB-5 visa offers a clear path to permanent residency in the United States. By understanding the requirements, timeline, and potential challenges, you can make informed decisions about your immigration future. Remember that professional legal guidance proves invaluable throughout this complex but rewarding process.
