The EB-5 visa program has been revitalized by the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022, and for global investors, this means a clear and expedited path to U.S. residency. At LCR Capital, we are thrilled to announce that our rural EB-5 project, US Strategic Metals (USSM), has received I-956F exemplar approval from USCIS. This landmark achievement is a game-changer for international families, providing a direct route to a Green Card by Investment with significant advantages.
Why a Rural EB-5 Project is Your Best Option
The new legislation created powerful incentives for rural EB-5 projects, making them the most attractive option for investors. By choosing a rural project, you gain access to:
- Expedited Processing: USCIS has granted our US Strategic Metals project EB-5 rural priority processing because it is a critical minerals project deemed to be in the U.S. national interest. This designation, combined with the set-aside visa category for rural projects, can dramatically reduce the I-526E petition processing time.
- Set-Aside Visas: The EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 reserves 20% of all EB-5 visas for rural projects, ensuring a faster visa queue and a more certain timeline for your family.
- National Importance: The US Strategic Metals project is poised to strengthen the U.S. supply chain for critical battery metals, enhancing America’s economic and national security. By investing in this project, you are contributing to a project of national importance while securing your residency.
