On June 14, 2017, the USCIS sent out an email Policy Alert saying that the agency had Updated the USCIS Policy Manual to "provide further guidance regarding the job creation and capital at risk requirements". The new policy, according to the alert, was effective immediately (!) although the USCIS was going to be taking comments for 12 days. This new policy is the first official USCIS policy on what is dubbed the "capital redeployment issue" in the EB-5 industry.
