OMB No. 1615-0061
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
Expires 12/31/2018
What Is the Purpose of Form I-924A?
This form is used by approved regional centers to certify and demonstrate their continued eligibility for the regional center
designation. Each approved regional center must file Form I-924A, Annual Certification of Regional Center, for each
Federal fiscal year (October 1 through September 30) on or before December 29 of the calendar year in which the Federal
fiscal year ended.
An Approved Regional Center
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.
