EB-5 Regional Centers in Kentucky
Kentucky currently hosts 22 USCIS-approved EB-5 regional centers. A regional center is a private entity designated by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to pool EB-5 investor capital into job-creating projects — typically real estate, infrastructure, or business development — within a defined geographic area. For immigrant investors, going through a regional center in Kentucky is the most common path to the EB-5 visa, because the program lets you count indirect and induced jobs toward the required job-creation total rather than proving direct hires yourself.
Centers authorized here include ALC Southeast, LLC, Bluegrass International Fund, LLC, CMB Regional Centers South LLC. Each listing above links to that center's profile and its USCIS regional center ID. Many regional centers are approved for several states, so a center headquartered elsewhere may still fund qualifying projects in Kentucky.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many EB-5 regional centers are in Kentucky?
There are 22 USCIS-approved EB-5 regional centers authorized to operate in Kentucky, each listed above with its regional center ID.
What is an EB-5 regional center?
A regional center is a private organization approved by USCIS to sponsor EB-5 investment projects and pool capital from multiple foreign investors. Investing through one lets you count indirect and induced jobs toward the EB-5 job-creation requirement, which is why most EB-5 investors use this route rather than direct investment.
Do I have to live in Kentucky if I invest in a regional center there?
No. EB-5 does not tie your residence to where your money is invested. A green card obtained through EB-5 lets you and your immediate family live, work, and study anywhere in the United States, regardless of which state your regional center or project is located in.
What is the minimum EB-5 investment in 2026?
Under the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act, the minimum is $800,000 for a project in a Targeted Employment Area (a rural area or one with high unemployment) and $1,050,000 for a standard project. Each investment must create at least 10 full-time U.S. jobs.
Are these Kentucky regional centers approved by USCIS?
Yes. Every center listed on this page appears on the official USCIS-approved regional center roster. Approval status can change, however, so always confirm a center is in good standing on the USCIS website before committing any funds.
