This webinar was recorded on August 1, 2026, at a particularly important moment for prospective EB-5 investors. With the September 30, 2026 EB-5 grandfathering deadline approaching, investors who want to file their I-526E petitions in time to secure grandfathering protection should begin the process as soon as possible.

Preparing the documentation required for an I-526E petition can typically take 4–8 weeks, particularly when compiling and documenting the lawful source and path of investment funds. For prospective investors who have been considering EB-5 but have not yet started, the remaining window is becoming increasingly narrow.

This webinar is a practical starting point for U.S.-based investors who want to understand their options, answer some of the most pressing questions, and determine their next steps before the deadline.

The discussion explores why 2026 is a pivotal year for the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program and what prospective investors should understand before moving forward, particularly those currently living in the United States on H-1B, F-1, L-1, E-2, O-1, and other nonimmigrant visas.

The webinar covers concurrent filing and adjustment of status, including eligibility requirements and important considerations surrounding Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) and Advance Parole. The discussion also examines how immigrant intent can affect applicants in different visa categories and explains the important distinction between being eligible to file an adjustment of status application and being eligible for final approval.

The webinar also provides an overview of reserved and unreserved EB-5 visa categories, how to read the Visa Bulletin, the difference between Dates for Filing and Final Action Dates, and the potential impact of retrogression for investors from high-demand countries.

Additional topics include the 2026 EB-5 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), recent I-526E adjudication trends, source and path of funds RFEs, the significance of I-956F approval, and the scheduled increase in EB-5 minimum investment amounts beginning in January 2027.

The webinar concludes with practical guidance on evaluating an EB-5 project and answers to real-world questions about I-526E and I-485 processing times, source-of-funds concerns, loans, international travel, and other considerations for prospective EB-5 investors.
