AIIF Overview

The American Immigrant Investment Fund (AIIF) was established with the mission to contribute positively to the development and create jobs for designated regions in the areas within the Kansas Biofuel Regional Center (KBRC) and Southwest Biofuels Regional Center (SBRC). AIIF offers investment immigration opportunities in these areas through the Employment Based 5th Preference Immigration, also known as EB-5 Program.

The EB-5 Program was first launched in 1990 by the U.S Immigration Law. Under the EB-5 Program, a minimum investment of $500,000-$1 million dollars into a commercial enterprise that creates at least 10 full-time jobs in a rural (or a target employment) area qualifies the investor and the investor's family for immigrant visas in a fairly short amount of time by investing a certain amount of investment capital set by the USCIS in targeted U.S commercial enterprise. When all the qualifying requirements are fulfilled, the investor is granted U.S. permanent resident status.

AIIF is affiliated with one of the reputable immigration law firms in Southern California, the Law Offices of Lee & Kent. With vast and in depth experience in US immigration law, all investors are assured to receive professional and high quality legal services.

AIIF News & Updates

1. Congress Extends the EB-5 Pilot Program to three Years
   The The FY10 Department of Homeland Security Appropriations bill (P.L.111-83) did not include the Senate's proposed amendment to make the EB-5 Regional Center program permanent. This proposed amendment was rejected Oct. 13, 2009 in a conference report issued by the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. The law also extends the non-minister religious worker (section 568), the ¡°Conrad 30¡È (section 568), and the E-Verify (section 547) programs through September 30, 2012. It also grants USCIS the authority to complete processing of permanent residence applications for surviving spouses and other relatives of immigration sponsors who die during the adjudication process (section 568). The bill was previously approved by the House of Representatives on 10/15/09 by a 307-114 roll call vote, and by the Senate on 10/20/09 by a 79-19 vote.
2. EB5 Extended Temporarily for One Month
   The Eb5 Regional Center Program which was set to expire September 30th was extended temporarily, as a gap measure, until October 31st while House and Senate conferees work out longer term extensions as part of their work on the DHS spending bill. The Senate gave its approval on September 30th, and the President signed it shortly thereafter. This shows that both the Senate and the House are committed to agree on an extension of the EB-5 Regional Center Program. It is our opinion that only a permanent extension will give a much-needed, significant boost to the EB-5 Regional Center Program during this tough economic times.
   This expiration is only limited to the EB5 regional center program. This does not apply to other classifications under the EB5 program.
