Immigration AttorneyUSCIS terminates regional centers for a number of reasons. Failure to file an annual report or having been idle for a significant amount of time are some of the primary reasons. But there are other factors USCIS will consider. For example, it terminated a regional center along the Southern border for eliciting investors prematurely or stepping over the red line for unrealistic promise. In the situation of one Chicago regional center that was terminated, USCIS was alerted after the SEC filed criminal charges of securities fraud against the operators of the regional center.
