A Busy 2025 Brought Continued Growth and Wins: More Job Creation, More Completed Projects, More Green Card Approvals, and More Investor Repayments
This past year, EB5AN has remained one of the most active players in the EB-5 industry. Since the passage of the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (RIA), we have structured 29 Form I-956F project applications and have received 25 Form I-956F approvals. We are also pleased to report that, in that same time, those EB5AN-managed EB-5 projects have created over 16,000 qualifying EB-5 jobs, a number that reflects the quality of projects we offer our investors.
This was also the third fiscal year in which our regional centers were required to file Form I-956G annual compliance reports. As in each of the prior years, our team successfully completed these filings on time and paid all government fees in accordance with USCIS requirements.
Part of our success stems from the fact that we were the first company in the history of the EB-5 program to have regional center coverage of the entire continental United States. This coverage allows our project selection team to identify the best deals, regardless of their location, an advantage that is especially critical in the age of rural projects.
Rural Becomes the Preferred Choice
The RIA implemented major changes to the EB-5 program. One of these changes was the introduction of urban and rural targeted employment areas (TEAs).
Over the past few years, the rural category in particular has gained prominence: This category offers significantly faster Form I-526E processing and access to 20% of the EB-5 visas made available each year.
The most shocking difference in the EB-5 program under the RIA has been the rural priority processing times. We are thrilled to report that hundreds of EB5AN’s investors have received their rural Form I-526E approvals in less than nine months, with some receiving approval in as fast as five months.
EB5AN is also proud that over 700 EB-5 investors in our rural and urban EB-5 projects have received Form I-526E approvals. Over 660 of those approvals have been for investors in our rural projects.
EB5AN Project Updates
With project completions, investor repayments, and the continued success of long-term master-planned communities, EB5AN’s projects have performed exceedingly well. Careful diligence, proper structuring, and ongoing monitoring are key to our success.
One of the best examples from this year is Water Club North Palm Beach, which received a full, on-time repayment.
Outstanding Investor Success
A key differentiator of EB5AN’s projects in 2025 was the continued immigration success of our EB-5 investors. In 2025 alone, more than 500 investors received Form I-526E approvals—a record for us.
Goals for 2026
Our hope for EB5AN in 2026 is to continue offering exceptional value to our investors.
For the EB-5 program, 2026 will be a pivotal year, with increased demand expected ahead of programme deadlines and potential investment threshold changes.
We remain committed to transparency, high-quality projects, and helping investors succeed both financially and with immigration outcomes.
