Matt Galati Pete Calabrese 2026 EB 5 Expiry Webinar 2

The EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (RIA) brought significant changes to the EB-5 program—most notably, a new protection known as “grandfathering.” But this protection is not permanent. With the RIA provisions set to expire in 2027, the grandfathering window for new EB-5 investors closes in September 2026. The time to act is now.

Join Matt Galati, EB-5 immigration attorney and founder of The Galati Law Firm, and Pete Calabrese, CEO of CanAm Investor Services, for a strategic discussion on why investors should file before the deadline—and what history teaches us about waiting too long.
