Peachtree Group 的 EB-5 Palmdale 项目获得 USCIS 的 I-956F 批准
桃树集团已获得美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS）的 I-956F 批准，用于该公司位于加利福尼亚州帕姆代尔的 TownePlace Suites by Marriott 项目。
这个 EB-5 签证计划 是外国投资者在美国寻求永久居留权的一条途径。EB-5区域中心计划之所以脱颖而出，是因为它汇集了特定地理区域的投资，刺激了经济增长和创造就业机会。
为了改善区域中心计划的管理，由四名美国国会议员组成的两党团体于2024年2月5日推出了《EB-5区域中心计划咨询委员会授权法》。作为会议的一部分，桃树集团EB-5执行副总裁亚当·格林最近在华盛顿特区与国会工作人员会面 IIUSA 季度飞入。这是一次忙碌的一天会议，与18个国会办公室讨论了EB-5问题。以下是IIUSA代表团向工作人员解释的内容：
什么是《EB-5区域中心项目咨询委员会授权法》？
由IIUSA支持的《EB-5区域中心项目咨询委员会授权法》将在内部设立一个咨询委员会 美国公民及移民服务局 （USCIS）就区域中心计划的管理进行沟通、协调和建议。
该法案的目的是设立一个咨询委员会，就区域中心计划的管理问题向移民局进行沟通、协调和建议。
EB-5投资者的主要好处：
- 增强透明度和问责制： EB-5区域中心项目咨询委员会授权法案的显著优势之一是促进该计划内的透明度和问责制。通过建立一个由来自不同背景的利益相关者（包括EB-5投资者、开发商和区域中心代表）组成的咨询委员会，该法案确保所有相关方的利益得到代表。透明度的提高可以使BE-5投资者对该计划的完整性和决策过程更有信心。
- 简化计划运营： 该法案授权的咨询委员会将在简化EB-5区域中心计划的运营方面发挥至关重要的作用。通过提供有关监管和政策变更的建议，以及应对区域中心面临的运营挑战，该委员会可以为提高该计划的效率和对EB-5投资者的需求的响应做出贡献。这种精简可以缩短投资者申请的处理时间，并为该计划的参与者提供更顺畅的整体体验。
- 改善了冲击力： EB-5区域中心咨询委员会授权法案的另一个好处是有可能改善EB-5计划的影响。该咨询委员会将负责评估区域中心项目的有效性，并就增强其经济影响力和创造就业机会的潜力提出建议。通过促进符合该计划目标的高质量项目的开发，EB-5投资可以提供更好的经济影响和更高的安全性。
- 缓解风险： 成立一个专注于EB-5区域中心计划的顾问委员会也为降低与EB-5投资相关的风险提供了机会。通过对区域中心活动和结构的持续讨论，该委员会可以帮助该行业构建符合EB-5规则和法规的投资。这种积极的风险管理方法可以帮助保护EB-5投资者的利益，维护整个计划的完整性。
《EB-5区域中心项目咨询委员会授权法》将帮助EB-5投资者驾驭美国EB-5计划的复杂格局。作为IIUSA的官员和公共政策委员会的成员，Peachtree的亚当·格林能够参与与决策者的讨论，以完善该立法的细节。EB-5投资者可以期待潜在的改进，这将增强他们对该计划的信心，为成功的结果铺平道路。

乔治亚州亚特兰大 — 桃树集团 （“Peachtree”）已获得负责监督 EB-5 移民投资者计划的政府机构美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS）的 I-956F 批准 万豪唐普雷斯套房酒店 位于加利福尼亚州帕姆代尔，目前正在建设中。
美国公民及移民服务局批准的 I-956F 标志着 Peachtree 持续努力通过 EB-5 计划促进投资机会的关键一步，该计划旨在促进美国的经济增长和创造就业机会。这是 Peachtree 获得批准的第二个酒店开发项目，此前其位于北卡罗来纳州布恩的希尔顿Home2 Suites开发项目获得了批准。
桃树EB-5执行副总裁亚当·格林说：“我们很高兴我们的棕榈谷项目获得移民局的批准。”“这一成就凸显了我们对提供高质量开发项目的持续承诺，以推动经济增长，为投资者和当地社区创造有意义的机会。”
帕姆代尔万豪TownePlace套房预计将成为首屈一指的长住酒店，提供满足商务和休闲旅客需求的现代化住宿和便利设施。该酒店计划于2025年春季完工。
“我们之所以专注于酒店开发，是因为事实证明，该行业具有极强的弹性，为应对经济挑战提供了灵活性和灵活性。由于新酒店供应有限，旅行需求激增，新资产有望跑赢大盘，尤其是在后COVID时代，强劲的基本面和市场动态创造了重大机遇。预计未来十年全球旅行支出将达到15.5万亿美元，超过通货膨胀，这进一步凸显了酒店业的长期潜力，使其成为极具吸引力的投资机会，” 格林说。
Peachtree于2023年启动了EB-5计划，这是支持全国创造就业机会的项目的重要融资工具。该公司仍然致力于通过扩大EB-5项目组合来提供高质量的投资和发展机会。
“与Home2 Suites一样，TownePlace Suites的开发项目包括大量的所有者股权投资。这种与我们的EB-5投资者的利益一致促进了共同的承诺，增强了人们对该项目成功的信心，并使所有利益相关者放心，” 格林补充说。
EB-5签证计划允许外国投资者获得绿卡，以换取对在美国创造就业机会的新商业企业进行大量投资。根据该计划，在美国为美国工人创造或保留至少10个全职工作岗位的项目中投资至少80万美元的外国人有资格申请永久居留权。

什么是 EB-5 的 I-829 表格？
A detailed guide to understanding the I-829 form and its critical role in the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. It includes an overview of the I-829 form, the conditions for removing the conditional status of a green card, and the specific information and documents required for the application.
Form I-829, Petition by Investor to Remove Conditions on Permanent Resident Status is filed by EB-5 investors to remove the conditions on their two (2) year green cards. The investors obtained the conditional green cards through their investment in a new commercial enterprise. Filing the Form I-829 is a crucial step in the EB-5 investor’s immigration process as once approved it allows the investors, along with their spouses and unmarried children under twenty-one (21), to achieve permanent residency in the United States. In this article, we explore the I-829 Form in detail, covering its purpose, eligibility requirements, necessary documents, filing timeline, common challenges, and practical tips for a successful submission.
Overview of the I-829 Form
Due to the conditional nature of the EB-5 investors’ permanent resident status, between 21 – 24 months after receiving the conditional green card, the EB-5 investors have to file an I-829 EB5 Form with USCIS to remove the condition on their permanent resident status. The EB-5 investors provide documentation to demonstrate they fulfilled the program’s requirements, including proof they sustained their investment and created the required number of jobs. The I-829 form is the final step in the EB-5 investors’ immigration process, and once approved investors become unconditional permanent residents of the United States.
Conditions for Removing Conditional Status
To successfully remove the conditions on the green card, the following requirements must be met:
- Invested Capital: The EB-5 investor must show they have invested or are actively in the process of investing the required capital; and the capital was made available to the business(es) most closely responsible for job creation.
- Sustained Investment: The EB-5 investors must show they have sustained their investment in the new commercial enterprise for two (2) years from the time their investment was made available to the entity most closely responsible for creating the jobs.
- Job Creation: The EB-5 investors must also show at least ten (10) full time positions for qualifying employees have been directly or indirectly created or will be created within a reasonable time. In the case of a troubled business, the EB-5 investors must submit evidence showing the number of existing employees were maintained at no less than the pre-investment level during the period of the EB-5 investors’ conditional permanent residence.
Specific Information and Documents Required
When filing Form I-829, the EB-5 investor needs to provide a variety of documents to support their petition, including:
- Investment Evidence: Proof that the EB-5 investors’ capital contribution has been invested and sustained which may include but is not limited to: financial statements, bank statement, contracts, federal or state income tax returns.
- Job Creation Documentation: The evidence needed to prove job creation is determined by the type of investment, direct or through a regional center.
- The documentation for jobs created indirectly as a result of an investment in a regional center may include, but is not limited to: tax and financial statements, expenditure and revenue reports, construction draws, invoices and receipts, bank statements, quarterly reports etc. In addition, at the I-829 stage, an Economic Impact Report is generally commissioned to evaluate the actual number of jobs created from the construction and operation of the Project selected by the EB-5 investors. This report is generated based on the actual EB-5 eligible costs spent on the Project, as well as the actual revenue generated by the Project. This report is different than the initial Economic Impact Report provided to USCIS with the Form I-956F, Application for Approval of an Investment in a Commercial Enterprise filing as the inputs for calculating the jobs are no longer projections, but actual costs incurred during development of the Project and actual revenue generated during the second or third year of the Project’s operation.
- The documentation of jobs created directly by the new commercial enterprise may include but is not limited to: payroll records, W-2s, employer’s quarterly federal tax returns, Forms I-9s, identification documents of the direct employees or any other evidence showing the required jobs were created or preserved.
- Personal Information: Identification documents, such as copies of the applicant’s passport, green card, and any previous immigration documentation.
Timeline for Filing the I-829 Form
The I-829 form must be file within the 90-day period immediately before the second anniversary of the EB-5 investor’s admission as a conditional permanent resident. Filing early or late may result in complications or even the termination of the EB-5 investor’s conditional permanent resident status, so it is critical to adhere to this timeline.
I-829 Processing Time
The processing time for Form I-829 is listed on USCIS website. During this period, USCIS reviews the I-829 petition, request additional evidence, if necessary, and eventually reach a decision. It is important to note that while the EB-5 investor’s I-829 petition is pending, the conditional permanent residency status is automatically extended for the period indicated on the EB-5 investor’s filing receipt. After filing the I-829 Petition, the EB-5 investor receives a filing receipt notice from USCIS, which should accompany their expired green card.
Common Challenges and Practical Tips
Filing Form I-829 can be complex, and applicants may face several challenges, including:
- Incomplete or Inconsistent Documentation: Ensure that all required documents are complete, accurate, and consistent throughout the petition.
- Prove Job Creation: Demonstrating the investment has created or preserved ten full-time jobs can be challenging, especially in projects that face delays or other complications. The EB-5 investor who select to invest in one of Peachtree Group’s projects should be assured that all the project related documents necessary for their Form I-829 filing are collected, reviewed and assembled into an I-829 Template by Peachtree. The I-829 Template will be provided to our EB-5 investors well in advance of their 90-day filing window.
- Meet the Filing Deadline: Missing the 90-day filing window jeopardizes the chances of removing the conditions on the green card.
Practical Tips for a Successful Submission
- Start Early: EB-5 investor should begin gathering the necessary documentation well in advance of the filing deadline to ensure that everything is in order.
- Consult with Experts: EB-5investors should work with their immigration attorneys and consultants experienced in the EB-5 process to prepare their petition and provide guidance. If you don’t have an immigration attorney, Peachtree Group can recommend several that have collaborated with us in the past.
- Double-Check All Information: Review form and documents for accuracy and consistency before these are submitted to USCIS.
- Stay Informed: Keep up to date with any changes in immigration laws or USCIS policies that could affect the petition.

EB-5投资门槛即将提高：你需要知道的
EB-5移民投资者计划成立于1990年，随着2022年EB-5改革与诚信法案（RIA）的颁布，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。
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。
当前的EB5投资金额
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。
自动调整授权 2027 年 1 月 1 日
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。
计划增加EB5投资金额
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。
2027 年预计的 EB-5 TEA 金额
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。
