What is EB-5?
The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, created by the U.S. Congress in 1990, provides a pathway to U.S. permanent residency for qualified participants and their eligible family members. To meet program requirements, each investment must create or preserve at least 10 full-time jobs for American workers.
The EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022
The EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act (RIA) of 2022 strengthened the program with important updates. These include new integrity and transparency requirements that apply to regional centers and their operators; reserved visas for rural, high unemployment, and infrastructure projects; priority processing for rural projects; and enhanced protections for investors.
At American Lending Center, we are committed to compliance and accountability and ensure every project complies with USCIS requirements. Our practices include independent fund administration, and third-party financial audits, which has resulted in 40 I-956F project approvals.

The Advantages of the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022
Immigrant Visa Set-Asides
The RIA reserves EB-5 visas for rural, high-unemployment, and infrastructure projects, offering faster availability. ALC specializes in rural and infrastructure development, positioning our participants to benefit from these priority set-asides.
Concurrent Filing
The RIA allows applicants in the U.S. to file their EB-5 petition and permanent residence (adjustment of status) application together, which provides for immediate access to many of the benefits of permanent residence, namely work and travel authorization. ALC supports investors through this process with clear guidance and strong compliance oversight.
Strict Compliance and Investor Protection
The RIA requires all regional centers to undergo USCIS-mandated audits. In 2024, ALC successfully completed its audit, demonstrating our commitment to transparency and accountability in every step of the EB-5 process.
EB-5 Application Process
The EB-5 Program offers qualified foreign investors and their families the opportunity to obtain permanent U.S. residency by investing in job-creating projects.
