USCIS has approved Texas Infrastructure Holdings (TIH) as an I‑956F-approved EB‑5 Project with both Rural and HUA designations, adding it to EB5 United’s growing portfolio of Rural TEA Projects that have cleared federal project-level review under the EB‑5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022.
For investors, this approval is a significant milestone. It means USCIS has already vetted the Project’s business plan, offering documents, and economic analysis for EB‑5 compliance. Individual investor petitions (I‑526E) can now move forward with attention focused primarily on each investor’s own Source of Funds documentation rather than the Project itself.
TIH joins Cormont at Deer Valley, Long Cove, Teton Outing Club, Discovery Land and CrossHarbor’s Crazy Mountain Ranch and Yellowstone Club Village Core Phase II Fund #2 in the EB5 United portfolio, all Rural TEA Projects benefiting from Priority Processing and approved under the post-RIA framework.
- Texas Infrastructure Holdings has received I-956F approval from USCIS in June 2026, validating the Project's offering documents, business plan, and Economic Analysis
- I-956F approval shifts the focus of I-526E adjudication onto the investor side, principally Source of Funds documentation and personal eligibility
- As both a Rural and HUA TEA Project, TIH qualifies for USCIS Priority I-526E Processing under the RIA of 2022, with a statutory target of 120 days
- EB5 United's recent Rural I-526E petitions have averaged approximately 9.5 months to adjudication; individual timelines vary and are subject to USCIS adjudication
- TIH joins Cormont at Deer Valley, Yellowstone Club Village Core Phase II Fund #2, Teton Outing Club, Crazy Mountain Ranch, and Long Cove as Rural TEA Projects with I-956F approvals within the past year in the EB5 United portfolio
- The Project is located in Uvalde, Texas, with rail access to serve the Texas Triangle via BNSF and Union Pacific lines
- EB5 United has crossed 850 post-RIA I-526E approvals, with 77.2% of Rural petitions adjudicated within 12 months
Three dates every EB-5 investor needs to plan around.
Beyond Project-level adjudication, every EB-5 investor is operating against a fixed statutory clock set by Congress. With TIH's I-956F now approved, the next variable for many investors is timing, specifically where their I-526E filing falls relative to these three dates.
Inside the I-956F: what USCIS actually validates.
Form I-956F is the Application for Approval of an Investment in a Commercial Enterprise. It is filed by the Regional Center on behalf of the EB-5 Project, and a USCIS approval confirms that the Project has been reviewed for compliance with the EB-5 Program. For investors, the practical implication is that these questions have been settled at the Project level before any individual I-526E is adjudicated.
Why Source of Funds becomes the defining variable.
Once a Project has received I-956F approval, USCIS has effectively settled the Project-level questions. From that point forward, individual I-526E adjudications focus on the investor's side of the file, and Source of Funds is the most consequential element.
Project review is done. The investor's Source of Funds package is now the file that matters most.
Source of Funds (SOF) documentation establishes that the invested capital was lawfully obtained. USCIS reviews SOF to verify that funds came from legitimate sources such as employment income, business proceeds, sale of property, gifts, inheritance, or loans, whether unsecured or secured by the investor's personal assets. The depth and consistency of the SOF package, the chain of evidence connecting earned income to the invested capital, is one of the most important factors in I-526E adjudication.
Investors evaluating Texas Infrastructure Holdings should plan to engage qualified EB-5 immigration counsel early to assemble the SOF package, with the supporting documentation organized in a format that USCIS adjudicators can follow without ambiguity. EB5 United's investor relations team works alongside attorneys throughout this process to keep the file moving.
About Texas Infrastructure Holdings.
The site is located in southwest Texas near the town of Uvalde. Uvalde sits at a logistics intersection, on both BNSF and Union Pacific rail networks, with high-throughput access into the Texas Triangle: Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio.
EB5 United’s involvement with TIH follows comprehensive internal review, consistent with our long-standing focus on aligning with respected developers as investor families pursue their U.S. immigration journeys.
Why Rural and HUA TEA designations matter at I-526E adjudication.
TIH's Rural and HUA TEA classification is structurally significant. The RIA of 2022 reserves a portion of the EB-5 visa supply for Rural and HUA TEA investors and grants Priority I-526E Processing to those petitions. In practice, Rural EB-5 petitions in the EB5 United portfolio have been moving notably faster than non-Rural standard filings.
Across EB5 United’s post-RIA Rural portfolio, 77.2% of Rural I‑526E petitions have been adjudicated within 12 months, with the fastest approvals returning in roughly one month. This compares to a 30.6-month average I‑526E approval time in our post-RIA Urban HUA project. Past approval performance is not a predictor of future USCIS processing times, and individual processing timelines may vary and are subject to USCIS adjudication.
