The Immigrant Investor Pilot Program became effective on October 1, 1993. The Pilot Program modifies the job creation requirement of the immigrant investor classification by allowing for indirect job creation. In order for the investor to take advantage of the Pilot Program, he or she must establish a new commercial enterprise in a "regional center" which the Assistant Commissioner for Adjudications has designated. The Office of Adjudications has recently designated several new regional centers. The following is a list of all designated regional centers:
