On May 30th the USCIS issued a new EB-5 policy memorandum on the EB-5 program.  This is a “must” read for anyone interested in the EB-5 program, since it defines many of the terms and requirements for the program.  It was issued for the training and guidance of USCIS personnel in performing their duties relative to the adjudication of applications and petitions, but provides valuable guidance to anyone planning to participate in the program.
