Instructions For Application For Regional Center Designation Under The Immigrant Investor Program ( Form I-924) (Page 2 of 14) in pdf

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. USCIS will review each certification and will notify the regional center should the

certification be inadequate.

General Instructions

a form to you. For TTY (deaf or hard of hearing) call: 1-800-767-1833.

Signature. Each application must be properly signed and filed. For all signatures on this application, USCIS will not

accept a stamped or typewritten name in place of a signature.

Filing Fee. Each application must be accompanied by the appropriate filing fee. (See the What Is the Filing Fee section

of these Instructions.)

Evidence. At the time of filing, you must submit all evidence and supporting documentation listed in the Specific

Instructions and What Evidence Must You Submit sections of these Instructions.

Biometric Services Appointment. USCIS may require that you appear for an interview or provide fingerprints,

photograph, and/or signature at any time to verify your identity, obtain additional information, and conduct background

and security checks, including a check of criminal history records maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation

(FBI), before making a decision on your application, petition, or request. After USCIS receives your application and

ensures it is complete, we will inform you in writing if you need to attend a biometric services appointment. If an

appointment is necessary, the notice will provide you the location of your local or designated USCIS Application Support

Center (ASC) and the date and time of your appointment or, if you are currently overseas, instruct you to contact a U.S.

Embassy, U.S. Consulate, or USCIS office outside the United States to set up an appointment.

If you are required to provide biometrics, at your appointment you must sign an oath reaffirming that:

1. You provided or authorized all information in the application;

2. You reviewed and understood all of the information contained in, and submitted with, your application; and

3. All of this information was complete, true, and correct at the time of filing.

If you fail to attend your biometric services appointment, USCIS may deny your application.

Copies. You should submit legible photocopies of documents requested, unless the Instructions specifically state that you

must submit an original document. USCIS may request an original document at the time of filing or at any time during

processing of an application, petition, or request. If USCIS requests an original document from you, it will be returned to

you after USCIS determines it no longer needs your original.

NOTE: If you submit original documents when not required or requested by USCIS, your original documents may be

immediately destroyed upon receipt.

Translations. If you submit a document with information in a foreign language, you must also submit a full English

translation. The translator must sign a certification that the English language translation is complete and accurate, and that

he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English. The certification must include the translator’s

signature. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recommends the certification contain the translator’s

printed name and the date and the translator’s contact information.
