EB5 United's Texas Infrastructure Holdings (TIH) Receives I-956F Approval: A Milestone in the EB-5 Program
EB5 United's Texas Infrastructure Holdings (TIH) recently received I956F approval from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on June 5, 2026, marking a significant milestone for the project under the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (RIA). TIH is now part of EB5 United's portfolio, which includes other projects like Cormont at Deer Valley, Long Cove, Teton Outing Club, Discovery Land, CrossHarbor's Crazy Mountain Ranch, and Yellowstone Club Village Core Phase II Fund #2, all benefiting from Priority Processing and approved within the last year post-RIA. The I-956F approval signifies that USCIS has reviewed the project's business plan, offering documents, and economic analysis, as stated by Brennan Sim, Global Sales at EB5 United.
Form I-956F, the Application for Approval of an Investment in a Commercial Enterprise, is filed by the Regional Center on behalf of an EB-5 project. USCIS approval confirms compliance with the EB-5 Program before individual investor petitions are adjudicated. USCIS evaluates key project documentation during the review process, ensuring that project-level questions are addressed before an I-526E petition enters adjudication. Once a project receives I-956F approval, USCIS focuses on the investor's side of the file, with Source of Funds documentation becoming crucial for verifying the lawful origin of invested capital.
Source of Funds documentation plays a vital role in establishing the legitimacy of funds used for investment, including income from employment, business proceeds, property sales, gifts, inheritance, or qualifying loans. The depth and consistency of the Source of Funds package and the evidence connecting earned income to invested capital are essential considerations during adjudication. Texas Infrastructure Holdings, situated near Uvalde, Texas, benefits from its strategic location at a logistics intersection served by BNSF and Union Pacific rail networks, providing access to the Texas Triangle cities: Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio.
TIH's Rural and HUA TEA classification is significant under the RIA of 2022, as it reserves a portion of the EB-5 visa supply for Rural TEA investors and grants Priority I-526E Processing to those petitions. Rural EB-5 petitions in the EB5 United portfolio have been processed nearly two years faster than non-Rural standard filings. Recent trends show that EB5 United's Rural I-526E petitions have been adjudicated approximately 3.2 times faster than the Urban HUA average, offering investors a streamlined process. The EB-5 Visa Program is a sought-after U.S. Immigrant Investor Program that grants permanent residency to foreign nationals investing in qualifying American businesses, creating at least 10 full-time U.S. jobs.
