CMB Regional Centers (CMB), one of the most experienced regional center operators in the EB-5 industry, today announced the first I-526E approval for an investor in CMB Group 93 – Coachella Valley Build-to-Rent (BTR), a High-Unemployment Area (HUA), Targeted Employment Area EB-5 project.   

The I-526E approval confirms that United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has reviewed and approved the EB-5 investor’s petition for conditional permanent residency in the United States. Over 5,700 CMB investors have obtained I-526/I-526E approvals, to date, confirming their eligibility for conditional permanent residency in the United States.

“Seeing a CMB investor reach this stage is always meaningful,” said Noreen Hogan, President at CMB. “It’s encouraging to see progress like this for our investors in our high-unemployment projects as they continue through the immigration process.”

CMB Group 93 entailed Hillwood Development Company (Hillwood) utilizing more than $32 million in EB-5 capital for the development and construction of an approximately 240-home community in Thermal, California (part of the greater Palm Springs metropolitan area).

CMB Group 93 is the seventh CMB HUA partnership to observe first I-526E approvals in the past several months including:

• CMB Group 81 – Inland Empire Industrial
• CMB Group 86 – Gable House Apartments
• CMB Group 88 – Hillwood Detroit Fairgrounds
• CMB Group 89 – Hillwood City Creek
• CMB Group 90 – Hillwood Treeline
• CMB Group 91 – Hillwood DTW Air Cargo

CMB and Hillwood have built one of the most successful lender-borrower partnerships in the EB-5 industry. Together, CMB and Hillwood have collaborated on 45 EB-5 partnerships across the United States, with the latest undertaking, CMB Group 101 – Hillwood Venture Build-to-Suit (BTS), announced in November.

CMB Regional Centers (CMB), one of the most experienced regional center operators in the EB-5 industry, today announced the first I-526E approval for an investor in CMB Group 90 – Hillwood Treeline, one of CMB’s High-Unemployment Area (HUA) Targeted Employment Area EB-5 projects.  

Issued by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), an I-525E petition approval signifies that an investor has met the EB-5 program requirements for conditional permanent residency in the United States. USCIS evaluates each petition according to investor-specific criteria. To date, more than 5,700 CMB investors have received I-526/I-526E approval, confirming their eligibility for conditional permanent residency in the United States.

“We’re proud to see yet another CMB investor advance in their immigration journey and achieve this life-changing milestone,” said Noreen Hogan, President at CMB. “This fall has proven outstanding for quite a few CMB investors across our high-unemployment EB-5 partnerships who also secured I-526E approvals.”

Since September, five other CMB HUA partnerships have observed their first I-526E approvals for an investor. Others include:

• CMB Group 81 – Inland Empire Industrial
• CMB Group 86 – Gable House Apartments
• CMB Group 88 – Hillwood Detroit Fairgrounds
