Your Direct Path to the US Green Card: The New Rural EB-5 Fund 

The Latest News on US Green Card by Investment (EB-5 Visa Program)

Introduction

Your Direct Path to the US Green Card: The New Rural EB-5 Fund 

Are you seeking a secure and expedited path to a US Green Card for your family? The EB-5 visa program offers a clear and reliable solution, especially through investments in rural EB-5 projects. These investments not only help you achieve US residency but also support critical national infrastructure, aligning your goals with America’s economic priorities. 

LCR Capital Partners, a leading EB-5 regional center and fund manager, has launched a new EB-5 fund designed for the discerning global investor. This fund, in partnership with US Strategic Metals (USSM), focuses on a groundbreaking green energy project, offering a confident path to your US Green Card by Investment

What Is This EB-5 Rural Project? 

The new rural EB-5 fund will raise capital for a state-of-the-art battery-grade metals refinery in Fredericktown, Missouri. This project is a direct response to US national security and economic directives, aiming to create a domestic and ethically-sourced supply of critical minerals like Lithium, Cobalt, Nickel, and Copper. This initiative is a prime example of an EB-5 investment that serves a crucial national purpose while providing a streamlined immigration path for investors. 

Key Advantages of This EB-5 Investment 

This project is a strategic opportunity designed for efficiency and success: 

  • Rural Priority Processing: As a rural EB-5 project, it qualifies for EB-5 rural priority processing, a key benefit of the EB-5 set-aside visas. This means your I-526E petition and subsequent Green Card applications are expected to receive expedited review from USCIS, offering a significant advantage in processing times. 
  • Exceptional Job Creation: The refinery project is projected to create 3,429 jobs, far exceeding the EB-5 job creation requirements of 10 jobs per investor. This robust job creation methodology provides a substantial job creation buffer, mitigating one of the primary risks for investors. 
  • Robust Project Security: USSM has already invested over $200 million, and the project has secured all necessary building and operational permits. This level of investment and preparation provides a strong signal of a project’s stability and commitment to success, reinforcing the at-risk investment requirement. 
  • National Security Alignment: The project’s focus on breaking China’s global control of critical mineral processing positions it as a national priority. This alignment further supports the case for expedited I-956F exemplar approval and investor petition processing.
