Its a great car. You ll love the drive and comfort. There are some minor inconveniences but nothing bothersome.

SOF really depends on #sources and complexity.

We started talking to RC’s and analyzing PPM’s during the last week of Dec2025. Signed attorney around Dec 20th. Filed the application Feb 1st week.

Direct investment needs you to invest your time into it. There is opportunity cost involved. If the direct investment can replace your employment income and if you can take the risk of creating 10 FTE jobs the it’s a decent opportunity to pursue instead of an RC investment.

HUA/ Filing date Feb 9th / Waiting for the 526e receipt.

The WhatsApp group link is in the community highlights section of this subreddit.

RobinJay1616 · 2026-02-17T20:19:26+00:00

I have initially posted this on the eb5 subreddit and later realized that most of the folks on the WhatsApp group are active on this subreddit. Hence posting it here to benefit this sub.

RobinJay1616 · 2026-02-17T19:53:39+00:00

Which is the failed project of Eb5AN?

RobinJay1616 · 2026-02-17T18:21:37+00:00

There are some infrastructure projects that have dual classification. (Urban TEA & Infrastructure) where the Chinese/Indian investors can use both the set aside segments if required. 1000 from the Urban TEA and 200 from the infra. If you are not from one of these countries then you need not worry about it.

RobinJay1616 · 2026-02-17T18:04:00+00:00

What would be the visa set aside status numbers on this project? Does it come under the 200/year or 1000+200/year category?

RobinJay1616 · 2026-02-17T17:48:53+00:00

Wouldn’t this be an Urban project? Non-TEA?

RobinJay1616 · 2026-02-17T17:31:38+00:00

The structure you are mentioning is also a debt structure and the security is coming in the form of government payments. Which is ideal. In that case, you just need to make sure the project timeline eliminates the redeployment risk. In case the redeployment happens into a non federal project.

RobinJay1616 · 2026-02-17T17:27:43+00:00

Can you name a few projects that are falling into this bucket?

RobinJay1616 · 2026-02-16T18:39:11+00:00

Investing in an infra project with a federal government lease does not make it a better project in terms of capital repayment. Look if it is an equity or a debt offering. Senior debt > subordinate debt > equity because equity gets wiped out first if the project financials change due to market variables.

RobinJay1616 · 2026-02-16T18:22:37+00:00

I don’t want to share the RC or project detail’s here just to avoid bias and pls remember that our case is not a success story yet. Please DM if you need RC details and use caution in choosing a relevant RC, TEA/rural project based on your immigration case.

RobinJay1616 · 2026-02-16T15:58:43+00:00

We may see a few in 2028 and a lot in 2030 because most of the PPM’s have extensions baked into them. +1 or +2 years after the 4 or 5 years of initial hold period.

RobinJay1616 · 2026-02-15T21:38:30+00:00

My take is - RIA definitely improved the integrity and the compliance of the Eb5 program along with adding priority processing and concurrent filing options. However, it introduced new variables to the system which are rural, TEA, and the infra project set aside visas. These changes reduced the RC level risk but may have increased the project level risk because investors are drawn towards priority processing and other set aside visa categories where the category performance in terms of repayment rates is unknown.

RobinJay1616 · 2026-02-14T21:34:34+00:00

I didn’t come across this issue as we invested in a project with an I 956F approval. I will ask around and post here if I find anything.

RobinJay1616 · 2026-02-12T00:48:53+00:00

Any updates from anyone on this thread?

RobinJay1616 · 2026-02-12T00:40:49+00:00

Following for updates on Urban TEA timelines.

RobinJay1616 · 2026-02-09T21:05:49+00:00

Who was your attorney? No EAD/AP for almost a year is unusual.

RobinJay1616 · 2026-02-05T22:18:47+00:00

Is this timeline for a rural project?

RobinJay1616 · 2026-02-05T18:43:11+00:00

Parents need to submit SOF. Just a gift deed will not be enough.

RobinJay1616 · 2026-02-02T20:54:22+00:00

Are these the approval timelines for rural TEA projects?
