Does the USCIS update the list of approved Regional Centers?

Yes. The USCIS maintains and updates periodically the list of approved Regional Centers under the EB-5 program, precisely to preserve the transparency and reliability of the program.

These updates reflect changes in the status of centers, such as the approval of new ones or changes to the status of a center already listed, based on information submitted to the agency. For the investor, this means that a center’s status is dynamic, not a fixed snapshot.

In practice, this oversight is essential when making a decision: the fact that a center is listed as approved today is information that must be confirmed at the source, not assumed based on marketing materials.

Therefore, always consult the official USCIS channels to check the most current list and, if possible, seek specialized guidance. Be wary of guarantees of results in marketing campaigns.
