Noreen Hogan Reelected Vice President of IIUSA, The Leading EB-5 Industry Trade Group
Hogan, President of CMB Regional Centers, has been elected to a fourth term
CMB Regional Centers (CMB) today announced that Noreen Hogan (President, CMB) has been reelected as Vice President of Invest in the USA (IIUSA), the national trade association representing the EB-5 industry. This marks Hogan’s fourth consecutive term in the role.
Hogan’s reelection comes at a pivotal moment for the EB-5 program, with grandfathering protections currently set to expire in September 2026 and the Regional Center program authorized through September 2027.
“I’m honored to continue serving as Vice President of IIUSA at such an important time for our program,” said Hogan. “The EB-5 program has created hundreds of thousands of American jobs and offered investors around the world a proven path to permanent residency. Protecting and strengthening this program via Congressional reauthorization is what this work is about, and we have work to do. I look forward to continuing it.”
In the 2026 fiscal year alone, the EB-5 program is anticipated to generate $2 billion in tax revenue. IIUSA, the national membership-based trade association for the EB-5 program, brings together more than 200 members around a shared mission: stimulating the United States economy through job-creating EB-5 investments. The organization’s advocacy efforts have helped generate $32 billion in total foreign investment, revitalized communities around the country and supported the creation of hundreds of thousands of American jobs.
As President of CMB, Hogan has led one of the industry’s longest-standing regional centers for more than a decade. Founded in 1997, CMB has assisted more than 7,000 investor families, from over 100 countries, in their pursuit of immigrating to the United States through the EB-5 program.

EB-5 Insights: What the May 2026 Visa Bulletin Signals for Investors
EB-5 Insights: What the May 2026 Visa Bulletin Signals for Investors
The U.S. Department of State (DOS) has released the May 2026 Visa Bulletin. The reserved categories remain current and India unreserved remains unchanged. There was slight movement for China unreserved, moving from September 1 to September 22, 2016, for Final Action Dates (Chart A) and from October 1, 2016, to March 1, 2017, for the filing date (Chart B).
To recap, the Final Action Dates (Chart A) in the Visa Bulletin determines when immigrant visas can actually be issued through consular processing overseas or through adjustment of status with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The Dates for Filing (Chart B) determine when EB-5 investors can assemble and submit their required documents to a consular post or file an adjustment of status petition (Form I-485).
In conjunction with the May 2026 Visa Bulletin, USCIS also indicated a shift in next month’s adjustment of status filing charts. For all employment-based preference filings, including EB-5, applications for adjustment of status with USCIS must use the Final Action Dates (Chart A) instead of Dates for Filing (Chart B). While this is a significant development, it is also a routine shift that occurs as USCIS and DOS coordinate together to gauge visa demand. For example, the Dates for Filing (Chart B) have been used for all employment-based categories since October 2025. Prior to that, USCIS imposed the Final Action Dates (Chart A) for employment-based categories, as the May Visa Bulletin indicated USCIS will be doing again.
What further stands out in the May 2026 Visa Bulletin is an unreserved warning for India. The State Department notes that rising unreserved demand from India “may make it necessary to retrogress the final action date or make the category unavailable.” However, this primarily impacts pre-RIA Indian investors, as the vast majority of post-RIA investors have chosen Targeted-Employment Area (TEA) projects that are applicable to the reserved visa categories.
That language can read as ominous but, in practice, it reflects something more straightforward. With approximately 700 visas available to India annually, under the country cap, demand at this level was always likely to exhaust available supply within the fiscal year, particularly given the volume of pre-RIA cases now moving through the system.
In fact, a year ago, the May 2025 Visa Bulletin saw a six-month retrogression for Indian EB-5 unreserved category. In that context, the May bulletin is less a shift in direction and more of a confirmation of where allocation was already heading.
There’s also a second-order dynamic worth noting.
To the extent DOS continues to pace issuance more slowly in the reserved categories, that can increase the number of unused reserved visas, which may ultimately become available to the unreserved categories in future periods. If reserved visas are not issued in a given year, they transition to a “reserved Carryover” designation in the subsequent year. If any reserved Carryover visas go unused again, they convert to the unreserved category.
Looking to China, the unreserved category moved forward again this month. That’s positive, but it shouldn’t be overinterpreted. Movement like this usually comes down to visa availability and where demand is concentrated within specific priority date ranges, not a meaningful reduction in backlog.
In other words, the line is moving, but it’s still quite long.
For anyone looking at EB-5 right now, this part is worth paying attention to: the Rural, High-Unemployment (HUA), and Infrastructure reserved categories continue to remain current, which benefits those investors seeking to file for adjustment of status (I-485) concurrently with their Immigrant Petition by Regional Center Investor (I-526E).
One thing we’re all watching closely: the EB-5 grandfathering provision deadline. Project demand tends to surge rapidly ahead of these milestones where requirements change or protections expire, and we’re already seeing spikes in investor interest less than six months from the deadline.
