Department of Homeland Security
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services

What Is the Purpose of This Form?
This form is used to demonstrate a Regional Center's
continued eligibility for the Regional Center designation. Each
designated Regional Center entity must file a Form I-924A for
each fiscal year (October 1 through September 30) within 90
days after the end of the fiscal year (on or before December
29) of the calendar year in which the fiscal year ended.
Failure to timely file a Form I-924 Supplement for each fiscal
year in which the regional center has been designated for
participation in the Immigrant Investor Pilot Program will
result in the issuance of an intent to terminate the participation
of the regional center in the Pilot Program, which may
ultimately result in the termination of the approval and
designation of the regional center.

Who May File This Form?
This form may be filed by an individual who has the executive
or managerial authority to act on behalf of the Regional Center
with respect to the Regional Center's designation.
