Note: On July 24, 2019 the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced updates to regulations governing the EB-5 immigration visa program in a Federal Register Notice. Each of the EB-5 rule changes described in the Federal Register notice were effective November 21, 2019. Among the changes announced was the transfer of Targeted Employment Area (TEA) certification authority from states to DHS.
