Which forms does an EB-5 regional center need to file after the recent changes?

I have had a current EB-5 regional center since 2013. I was filing Form I-924A every year, but I am confused now. Do I need to file an I-956G or an I-956 along with an I-956H? Where can I find specific information about what to do?

Need to file the I-956 per Behring settlement. And also, the I-956G must be filed every year like I-924A. The I-956F is for the project exemplar, which must be filed prior to any Form I-526E being submitted. Very recently, the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) published an alert on its website stating that it is extending the deadline for Form I-956, Application for Regional Center Designation, amendments, as required by the Behring Settlement, and Form I-956G, Regional Center Annual Statement. USCIS did not give an exact to which the deadline is extended, but stated it is, "Extending this deadline until we publish guidance that clarifies the requirements of these forms."
