JTC says DHS EB-5 bridge financing proposal could disqualify most new offerings

• JTC’s Jill Jones warned a DHS proposed rule could block EB-5 projects from claiming job creation tied to bridge financing later repaid with EB-5 capital.
• The proposal would end a practice DHS previously allowed, raising the risk that many near-market EB-5 offerings could fail eligibility tests.
• DHS opened the door to alternatives, signaling flexibility where bridge financing is used credibly in post-RIA Form I-956F project filings.
• Jones urged stakeholders to submit comments and engage lawmakers to refine the rule while tightening program integrity standards.
