Re: HR5992 Proposed Bill (introduced by Congressman Goodlatte and Congressman Conyers)

致：EB-5 投资人，区域中心及项目负责人

自：王令蒂律师，美国基宝律师事务所

日期：2016 年 9 月 14 日

关于：HR5992 投资移民项目修改提案 (由 Goodlatte 议员和 Conyers 议员提出)

As you may know, HR5992 proposed bill was released on September 11, 2016 (different than the

September 9, 2016 version). Considering that the EB-5 program is facing sunset in October 2016, you

may be anxious to know the details of the proposed bill. Our office has summarized and translated the

key points of the proposed bill for your reference. Kindly see below key points of proposed bill of

September 11, 2016. Please note this is only a proposed bill and is not law yet. It does appear that a

continuing resolution will extend the current program to December 9, 2016.

您或已知悉 HR5992 EB-5 修改提案已于 2016 年 9 月 11 日发出 (与 2016 年 9 月 9 日版本不同)。

由于 EB-5 投资项目前正面临于 2016 年 10 月被终止的问题，您可能比较关注 HR5992 EB-5 修

改提案中提到的一些新规则。请查看以下我们律所准备的此提案要点。请注意，该提案目前还

不是新法律。从该提案可以看出现 EB-5投资移民项目可能会延长至 2016年 12 月 9日。
