I-526E vs I-526: What changed under the Reform Act?

I-526E is the post-2022 petition for Regional Center investors after the EB-5 Reform & Integrity Act. I-526 is the legacy form for direct EB-5.

Rural TEA vs Urban TEA vs Direct EB-5

Rural TEA = $800K + 20% visa set-aside + priority processing. Urban TEA = $800K + 10% set-aside. Direct EB-5 = $1.05M, no Regional Center.

Regional Center vs Direct EB-5

Regional Center investors pool capital into pre-vetted projects ($800K). Direct EB-5 means you operate your own business and create 10 jobs yourself ($1.05M).

Source of Funds: the #1 cause of EB-5 denial

USCIS requires every dollar of your $800K to trace back to a lawful source. Poor documentation is the most common cause of RFEs and denials.

Country chargeability and visa backlogs

Your country of birth (not citizenship) determines your EB-5 visa wait. China and India have historical backlogs; rural set-aside dramatically shortens them.

CSPA: keeping kids under 21 for the green card

Children must be under 21 when their green card is issued. The Child Status Protection Act subtracts I-526E processing time to lock in their age.
