Just before the September 30, 2016 deadline to extend the EB-5, the U.S. Congress passed a Continuing Resolution (CR) to extend all federal programs until December 9, 2016. That date is fast approaching and with the usual turmoil that surrounds the beginning of a new presidential administration, congress has not had sufficient time to debate, or make the changes that are anticipated. Therefore, today, December 9, congress has passed another CR, continuing all U.S. Government programs, including EB-5, until April 28, 2017.
在2016年9月30日EB-5法案延期的截止日期之前，美国国会通过了一项持续决议案（CR），将所有联邦计划延至2016年12月9日。这一截止日期很快到来，由于时间短促加上即将迎来新一任美国总统和政府，国会没有足够的时间进行辩论或按预期作出改变。因此，今天，12月9日，国会通过了另一项持续决议案，继续所有美国政府包括EB-5计划的所有计划，延期到2017年4月28日。
It is anticipated that before the April 28th date, the EB-5 program will undergo some changes, the most important of which is that the minimum investment amounts will increase. It has been seriously discussed that the investment amount for projects in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA), such as Europa Village and Europa Vineyard Estates will increase from $500,000 to $800,000. No one can say with certainty what Congress will change, but almost everyone involved in the process believes we will see
this change.
预计在4月28日之前，EB-5计划将发生一些变化，其中最重要的是对于增加目标就业区（TEA）项目的投资额一事正在讨论中，最低投资额将提高， 例如欧尚风情度假村项目和欧尚风房产暨度假别墅开发项目的投资额，将从50万美元增加到80万美元。没有人可以肯定的说国会会对此作出改变，但几乎每个参与过程的人都相信我们会看到这种变化
What’s important about this is that everyone still has an opportunity, prior to April 28, 2017, to become an EB-5 investor at the $500,000 investment level. We strongly suggest that those considering this investment, move forward immediately to secure their place at $500,000.
重要的是，在2017年4月28日之前，每个人仍然有机会投资50万美元成为一个EB-5投资人。我们强烈建议，在考虑这种投资的投资人应该立即开始准备，在投资金额还是50万美元的情况下完成投资
