CMB Regional Centers (CMB), one of the most experienced regional center operators in the EB-5 industry, today announced that CMB Group 96 – The Ellis has received approval of Form I-956F from United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). CMB Group 96 is currently open for subscription, with limited availability.

An I-956F approval confirms that USCIS has determined the project meets the EB-5 program requirements and qualifies investors for USCIS adjudication of their I-526E petitions for conditional permanent residency in the United States.

A collaboration with Fields Holdings, CMB Group 96 is purpose-built to meet sustained demand for high-quality student housing in the University of Oregon market.

“Student housing continues to be a popular asset class for EB-5 investors, particularly when undertaken by a developer with a track record of success in the space,” said Noreen Hogan, President at CMB. “We’re thrilled to see an approval for CMB Group 96, our latest EB-5 student housing collaboration with Eran Fields and team.”

This marks CMB’s second student housing collaboration with Fields Holdings, following CMB Group 71 – The M in Seattle, Washington. CMB Group 71 was successfully completed in 2020, with Fields Holdings fully repaying the EB-5 loan in less than four years. Investors in CMB Group 71 successfully achieved conditional permanent residency and are now eligible to file for removal of conditions on their residency (I-829 petition), the final step in the EB-5 immigration process.

CMB Group 96 is located in a High-Unemployment Targeted Unemployment Area (TEA), qualifying investors for the reduced EB-5 investment threshold.

• Total Project Spending: ~$128.2 million

Hogan, President of CMB Regional Centers, has been elected to a fourth term

CMB Regional Centers (CMB) today announced that Noreen Hogan (President, CMB) has been reelected as Vice President of Invest in the USA (IIUSA), the national trade association representing the EB-5 industry. This marks Hogan’s fourth consecutive term in the role.

Hogan’s reelection comes at a pivotal moment for the EB-5 program, with grandfathering protections currently set to expire in September 2026 and the Regional Center program authorized through September 2027.

“I’m honored to continue serving as Vice President of IIUSA at such an important time for our program,” said Hogan. “The EB-5 program has created hundreds of thousands of American jobs and offered investors around the world a proven path to permanent residency. Protecting and strengthening this program via Congressional reauthorization is what this work is about, and we have work to do. I look forward to continuing it.”

In the 2026 fiscal year alone, the EB-5 program is anticipated to generate $2 billion in tax revenue. IIUSA, the national membership-based trade association for the EB-5 program, brings together more than 200 members around a shared mission: stimulating the United States economy through job-creating EB-5 investments. The organization’s advocacy efforts have helped generate $32 billion in total foreign investment, revitalized communities around the country and supported the creation of hundreds of thousands of American jobs.

As President of CMB, Hogan has led one of the industry’s longest-standing regional centers for more than a decade. Founded in 1997, CMB has assisted more than 7,000 investor families, from over 100 countries, in their pursuit of immigrating to the United States through the EB-5 program.

CMB Regional Centers (CMB) today announced the launch of CMB Group 103 – Atlanta Logistics, an EB-5 offering associated with the development of a Class-A logistics facility in the southeastern United States.

Located in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA), the project qualifies investors for the reduced investment threshold under EB-5 program requirements.

“EB-5 investors evaluate more than just the offering itself. The platform and track record behind each project matter,” said Noreen Hogan, President at CMB. “We’re proud to bring another EB-5 offering to market that reflects the underwriting discipline and execution experience that have defined the CMB platform for nearly 30 years.”

CMB’s execution track record is underpinned by 3,200 investors in CMB-sponsored EB-5 partnerships receiving I-829 approvals – the most of any single regional center. For investors, an approved I-829 petition is the defining point in the EB-5 process. It confirms they have met the program’s job creation and investment requirements and allows them and their qualified family members to move from conditional status to permanent residency.

Located just south of Atlanta, Georgia, CMB Group 103 represents the initial phase of development within a larger master-planned business park anticipated to feature nearly 3 million square feet (approximately 270,000 square meters) of logistics space. According to Area Development Magazine, Georgia topped its 2025 Top States for Business list for the 12^th consecutive year, with the state’s logistics network cited as a key factor.

CMB Group 103 – Investment Highlights

• Project Location: Meets United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requirements for a TEA.
• Estimated Job Creation: 743
• Job Creation Buffer: 17.9%
• Jobs Per Investor: 11.79

CMB Regional Centers (CMB) today announced that it has surpassed 7,000 EB-5 investors. Since 1997, CMB has worked with investors from more than 100 countries in their pursuit of permanent residency in the United States through EB-5.

“Seven thousand investors is a reflection of trust earned over decades, across market cycles, and amidst significant evolution of the EB-5 program,” said Noreen Hogan, President at CMB. “Pursuing EB-5 is one of the most consequential decisions someone can make, and our focus is delivering outcomes that justify the trust so many investors have placed in us.”

The announcement is the latest in a series of defining achievements for CMB, including more than 3,200 approved I-829 petitions for removal of conditions on permanent residency (the most in the EB-5 industry) and $1.5 billion repaid to investors.

Throughout its 29-year history, CMB has shaped the evolution of the regional center industry, including pioneering the now-standard EB-5 loan model. CMB was also the first regional center to mandate third-party financial audits, setting the industry standard for transparency and financial oversight for EB-5 regional center operators.

The milestone comes at a time of heightened interest in the EB-5 program as the grandfathering provision approaches its scheduled expiration in late September.

Approval of an I-829 petition confirms that the investor has successfully satisfied all EB-5 program requirements, including the creation of qualifying American jobs, allowing the investor and eligible family members to receive permanent resident status in the United States.

“We know how much this step matters to our investors and their families, and it’s why we celebrate each one,” said Noreen Hogan, President at CMB. “Every I-829 approval represents the culmination of a long and complex journey, and seeing our investors reach this point is always a proud moment for our team.”

Developed in partnership with Hillwood Development Company (Hillwood), CMB Group 58 involved the development of a grocery-anchored retail shopping center in North Texas. The project is located in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA) designated as a high-unemployment area and created 261 EB-5 qualified American jobs.

Having collaborated on 45 EB-5 projects, Hillwood and CMB have built one of the strongest lender-borrower relationships in the industry, with more than $600 million in EB-5 capital repaid and 63,000+ American jobs created.

CMB Regional Centers (CMB), one of the most experienced regional center operators in the EB-5 industry, today announced that 3,200 CMB investors have officially received approvals of their I-829 petitions, the highest total of I-829 approvals observed by any regional center operator in the industry.

An I-829 approval is issued by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and confirms that an EB-5 investor has satisfied the program’s requirements, including job creation and investment criteria. Approval signifies the removal of conditions on the individual’s permanent residency status.

“An I-829 approval is the clearest validation of what matters most in EB-5: real-world execution,” said Noreen Hogan, President at CMB.  “It means the jobs were created, the capital was deployed as intended, and the investor successfully achieved permanent residency in the U.S. We’re proud to have supported so many families through this final step.”

The latest milestone for CMB comes on the heels of the firm announcing $1.5 billion in EB-5 capital repaid to investors.

CMB Regional Centers (CMB), one of the most experienced regional center operators in the EB-5 industry, today announced that it has surpassed $1.5 billion in capital repaid to investors, marking a significant milestone in the company’s multi-decade history of structuring and administering EB-5 partnerships.

The milestone reflects capital returned over time in connection with EB-5 projects that have met program requirements and United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) regulations. CMB’s repayment outcomes are achieved through consistent project execution and rigorous underwriting standards.

“Surpassing $1.5 billion repaid reflects nearly 30 years of unwavering focus on investor outcomes,” said Noreen Hogan, President at CMB. “Success on this scale is not simple or easy, but it does boil down to a simple principle: first, take care of the investor.”

CMB was founded in 1997 with a focus on leveraging EB-5 to revitalize former military bases in California. CMB’s first EB-5 projects catalyzed the transformation of McClellan Air Force Base and Norton Air Force Base into McClellan Park (the largest master-planned community in California) and the San Bernardino International Airport, respectively.

The firm’s consistent success in the EB-5 space is underpinned by the long-standing relationships CMB has built with developer partners, most notably including Hillwood Development Company (Hillwood). CMB and Hillwood have cultivated one of the most established and consistently successful lender-borrower relationships in the EB-5 industry.

The most recent EB-5 collaboration between CMB and Hillwood, CMB Group 101 – Hillwood Venture Build-to-Suit (BTS), was announced in mid-November.
