USCIS Policy Memo on EB-5 Adjudications (Updated 2/15/13)

From USCIS:

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is focused on improving its administration of the Employment Creation Program, commonly known as the EB-5 Program. As part of this focus, USCIS has engaged with internal and external stakeholders to learn of their concerns regarding current adjudication policies and practices. USCIS sets forth the following draft memorandum to address certain foundational issues in the EB-5 Program. USCIS seeks stakeholder input on these foundational issues before providing greater detail and addressing additional issues. This draft memorandum is a work in progress, and it is shared now to obtain valuable real-time input and to define a collaborative approach with the stakeholder community. The following draft memorandum is not operative and will not guide adjudication decisions until it is published in complete and final form. Current policy memoranda continue to guide our adjudications.
