EB–5 Regional Center Program Advisory Committee Authorization Act
HR 7220 establishes an EB-5 Regional Center Program Advisory Committee within U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The 35-member committee, composed of representatives from EB-5 regional centers (with geographic and project-type diversity), local governments, economic development officials, and trade associations, advises USCIS on program improvements like job creation, investment structuring, and processing efficiency. It cannot make case-specific decisions but must submit annual reports and recommendations to USCIS, with public meetings and quarterly subcommittee work focused on administration, economic impact, and policy. The committee terminates once all pending EB-5 applications are resolved.
