EB-5 Grandfathering Deadline (Sept 30, 2026)

Under the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022, there is a grandfathering deadline that protects certain petitions if they are filed before September 30, 2026.

With only 132 days left until the grandfathering deadline, the industry wide question is if this cutoff date forces applicants to start preparing their documents early to make the deadline? Or are they willing to assume the risk of losing the protections by filing after the grandfathering deadline as we still have a legitimate program until September 30 2027?

Has anyone in the GCC gone through the EB-5 process? What was it like?

Everyone's heard of it, everyone's "looking into it" but are they ready to take the step?

The EB-5 program requires an investment of $800,000 into an approved government project. By virtue of making the investment, investors obtain U.S. green card and residency for themselves, spouse and qualifying children. 

The premise of the program is simple to understand, most families out if the GCC also understand the requirement for a more stable residency option, not only for themselves but for their children. The issue is that many hesitate on when to pull the trigger and start the application process. 

If you have been thinking about doing the EB5 process but have not started, what are your reservations?

Has anyone in Dubai seriously considered moving to the US?

We have been working on the EB5 program out of the GCC for over 10 years and have consistently seen an uptake on demand for migration routes to the U.S. 

The issue with being in Dubai is the lack of permanence, while it is a great place to live in and offers great opportunities for families, there is no pathway to permanent residency and because of this families that are based in Dubai look to programs such as the EB5 investment program to obtain U.S. residency and passport.

In the greater scheme of everything we know that it's not about which country is better to live in but which country will provide more stability for the entire family.

Has anyone here been considering moving from Dubai to the U.S?
