The EB-5 investment thresholds are expected to increase because U.S. law requires the investment amounts to be adjusted for inflation starting January 1, 2027, and then every five years after that.
The exact new investment amounts have not yet been announced.
Both main EB-5 investment thresholds are expected to rise:
- The standard EB-5 investment amount
- The reduced EB-5 investment amount for targeted employment areas and infrastructure projects
The increase is expected to apply regardless of whether the EB-5 investment is made through a regional center.
The affected reduced-investment categories include:
- Targeted employment areas
- Infrastructure projects
As of June 30, 2026, the key point is timing rather than the exact dollar figure: the law requires inflation adjustment from January 1, 2027, but the final updated amounts are still pending.
