EB–5 Regional Center Program Advisory Committee Authorization Act

This bill establishes an EB-5 Regional Center Program Advisory Committee within U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to advise on the EB-5 visa program. The committee, composed of up to 35 diverse representatives from EB-5 regional centers (covering categories like high-unemployment areas, rural projects, and infrastructure) and local/state governments, will focus on program improvements related to job creation, capital investment, fraud prevention, and processing efficiency. It must submit annual reports to USCIS and hold public meetings, but cannot make case-specific recommendations. The committee terminates once all pending EB-5 applications are processed, and the bill does not alter existing EB-5 program rules.
