The shape of a project
One school, one partnership, one loan.
A regional centre project is a financing, not a fund. This is the shape every project in the register takes.
Who runs it
GreenAccess, the project sponsor, is general partner of the partnership investors join
What the money becomes
Investors' capital is not equity in a school. It is a loan set up to run for about five years.
What stands behind the loan
a first-rank mortgage on the school's land and building, recorded in the county's public records
How the loan comes back
on completed projects, many schools were refinanced at maturity by a bank or through the bond market, and that repaid the loan
On oversight: an independent fund administrator tracks investor contributions and reviews construction draw requests.
The numbers, and their dates
What the programme asks now.
Programme figures move with the rule and with inflation adjustments. Each one below carries the date it was written down, and the source is USCIS.
Investment now
the programme minimum is US$800,000 for a project in a targeted employment area
Scheduled change
scheduled to rise on 1 January 2027 to a projected US$900,000 to US$937,500, until USCIS publishes the final figure
If you are already in the US
people already in the US may be able to file for residency at the same time as the investor petition, when a visa is available (concurrent filing)
After the visa
permanent residents can generally apply for US citizenship after five years, with at least two and a half of those years spent in the US
Stated as of September 2026. USCIS sets these rules and is their source. What this site adds is the record: 52 completed charter school projects, US$560M repaid across completed projects, published school by school at the address below. That record is the principal's own, not a government figure.
Questions
Can my children be included?
Unmarried children under 21 can generally be included. Age rules changed for filings from 15 August 2025, so check your child's timing early.
What happens to my EB-5 money?
It goes into a partnership formed for one school, which lends it to the company that builds the school. Across completed projects, US$560M has been repaid.
How does the January 2027 increase work?
The minimum investment is scheduled to rise on 1 January 2027, when the amounts adjust for inflation under current law. USCIS has not published the new figure.
