In a recent Forbes article, EB5AN’s managing partner Sam Silverman breaks down the creation of the new reserved visa set aside categories for rural and high unemployment TEAs and priority processing for rural TEA projects brought by the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (RIA).
The article explains how the RIA has changed the rules for how USCIS will process EB-5 petitions by investors who have invested in a rural project. Combined with the rural set-aside visa quota, this priority processing advantage promises exceptionally quick approvals for rural EB-5 investor I-526E petitions—many investors who have invested in rural EB-5 projects sponsored by EB5AN have received Green Cards within 12 months. Currently, there is no waiting list in the rural TEA category, so rural investors only need I-526E approval to proceed with their Green Card application.
Read the full article on Forbes to gain valuable insights about how an EB-5 investment in a rural TEA project can get you and your family Green Cards in as quickly as 12 months.
