With a designated letter dated:

Must file an initial Form I-924A:

On/before September 30

On/before December 29 of the same calendar year

On/after October 1

On/before December 29 of the following calendar year

Failure to file Form I-924A in a timely manner for each Federal fiscal year in which the regional center has been
designated to participate in the Immigrant Investor Program will result in the issuance of a notice of intent to terminate the
participation of the regional center in the program. Such failure may ultimately result in the termination of the approval
and designation of the regional center. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will review each certification
and will notify the regional center should the certification be inadequate.

What Evidence Must You Submit?

Each regional center must provide USCIS with updated information to demonstrate the regional center is continuing to
promote economic growth, improved regional productivity, job creation, or increased domestic capital investment in the
approved geographic area. Such information must be submitted to USCIS on an annual basis, on a cumulative basis, and/
or as otherwise requested by USCIS, using Form I-924A.
You must submit all evidence requested in these Instructions with your form. If you fail to submit required evidence,

8 CFR 103.2(b)(1) and these Instructions.
If you fail to completely fill out your Form I-924A, USCIS may reject your form. USCIS will issue a notice of intent to
terminate the participation of the regional center in the Immigrant Investor Program if a regional center fails to submit the
required information or upon a determination that the regional center no longer serves the purpose of promoting economic
growth, including increased export sales, improved regional productivity, job creation, and increased domestic capital
investment, in accordance with 8 CFR 204.6(m)(6) and these Instructions.

What Is the Filing Fee?
