Why Rural Projects

The Smartest Route Under Today's EB-5 Rules

Since the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022, rural Targeted Employment Area projects offer the strongest combination of lower cost, reserved visas, and faster adjudication.

$800,000 Minimum

Rural TEA projects qualify for the reduced investment tier — $250,000 less than the standard $1,050,000 amount.

20% Reserved Visas

One-fifth of all EB-5 visas are set aside for rural investors, helping most applicants avoid visa backlogs and retrogression.

Priority Processing

USCIS gives priority adjudication to petitions for rural projects, meaning faster decisions on your I-526E petition.
