I-956F project approval
Having a USCIS I-956F project approval means that the EB-5 project associated with an EB-5 Regional Center has received formal approval from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) under the I-956F petition. This approval signifies that USCIS has reviewed and confirmed that the project's business model, investment structure, job creation methodology, and compliance with EB-5 regulations meet the program's requirements.
Key Implications of an I-956F Project Approval:
Project Eligibility Confirmation – The approval verifies that the project's business plan, job creation estimates, and economic impact analysis meet EB-5 program standards.
Faster Processing for Investor Petitions – EB-5 investors filing Form I-526E (Immigrant Petition by Regional Center Investor) for that project can benefit from streamlined adjudication.
No Risk of Project Denial – While approval does not guarantee immigration success, it indicates that the project's fundamentals are compliant with USCIS regulations.
Regional Center Program Compliance – The project is aligned with USCIS requirements under the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022, which mandates stricter oversight and transparency.
