USCIS Approves Form I-956F Exemplar Application for EB5AN’s Rocky River Rural EB-5 Project

Form I-956F approval means that the project’s documents have been reviewed by USCIS and were found to be compliant with the EB-5 program.

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, January 23, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- EB5AN, a leading EB-5 investment fund manager, regional center operator, and consultancy firm, is pleased to share that USCIS has approved the Form I-956F exemplar application for its Rocky River rural EB-5 project.

“We filed the Rocky River I-956F exemplar three months ago and are thrilled to already have an approval,” said Sam Silverman, a managing partner of EB5AN. “This approval offers EB-5 investors the reassurance that USCIS has thoroughly reviewed and accepted the project.”

The Form I-956F approval indicates that USCIS has examined the project’s documents and confirmed full compliance with the EB-5 program’s requirements. This approval means USCIS has affirmed that the Rocky River project is in a rural TEA. It also means USCIS has accepted the project’s job creation methodology, loan repayment guaranty, and other key project features.

Silverman added, “Rocky River is a low-risk rural project nearly identical to several of our prior rural EB-5 loan projects. Now, with USCIS project approval, the project’s immigration risk to EB-5 investors is significantly reduced. As long as an EB-5 investor in Rocky River is admissible into the United States and can prove a legal source of funds, he or she should receive a permanent Green Card.”

Under the EB-5 program, projects must file Form I-956F before receiving any EB-5 investments. While certain other eligibility requirements exist, the project application must be approved by USCIS for the project’s EB-5 investors to remain eligible for Green Cards.

“Rocky River’s I-956F approval is yet another milestone in our history of USCIS-approved projects under the Reform and Integrity Act,” said Mike Schoenfeld, the other managing partner of EB5AN. “We are proud of our perfect track record of EB-5 compliance. With Rocky River now approved, our EB-5 investors can invest with confidence, knowing that USCIS has reviewed and accepted the project as compliant.”

Rocky River is a 1,120 single-family home age-restricted, 55+ active adult community with amenities in Locust, North Carolina, about 45 minutes from Charlotte, North Carolina.
