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
• CMB Group 89 – Hillwood City Creek
• CMB Group 91 – Hillwood DTW Air Cargo

In collaboration with Hillwood Development Company (Hillwood), CMB Group 90 represents a master-planned community of 2,500 homes across 800 acres in Justin, Texas, northwest of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. 

CMB’s long-standing partnership with Hillwood has proven one of the most successful lender-borrower relationships in the EB-5 industry. Together, CMB and Hillwood have collaborated on 45 EB-5 partnerships across the United States, with over 63,000 American jobs created.

The most recent EB-5 collaboration between CMB and Hillwood, CMB Group 101 – Hillwood Venture Build-to-Suit (BTS), was announced in mid-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 the CMB Group 88 – Hillwood Detroit Fairgrounds EB-5 project.

Investors who secure approval of an I-526E petition by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) are eligible for conditional permanent residency in the United States. These petitions are adjudicated by USCIS per investor-specific criteria. More than 5,700 CMB investors have secured I-526/I-526E approvals, to date.

“It’s great to see USCIS adjudicating petitions for our high-unemployment project investors at a steady rate this autumn,” said Noreen Hogan, President at CMB. “We’re looking forward to celebrating more and more of these approval milestones alongside our investors as we close out 2025.”

CMB Group 88 represents the fifth CMB Partnership to observe first I-526E approvals over the past few months, including:

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

Hillwood Development Company (Hillwood) leveraged $24 million in Group 88 EB-5 capital to develop and construct an ~180,000 square-foot class-A logistics facility for a Top 40, Fortune 500 tenant and to construct ~292,000 square feet in new, speculative logistics/warehousing space.

Hillwood and CMB have teamed up on over 40 projects which leveraged EB-5 capital, creating one of the strongest-lender borrower relationships in EB-5 history with 63,000+ American jobs created and more than $600 million repaid to investors.

The latest collaboration between CMB and Hillwood, CMB Group 100 – Hillwood Flywheel (Build-to-Suit), will include the development and construction of a Class-A build-to-suit distribution facility in Virginia for a major international toy manufacturer.

CMB Regional Centers (CMB), one of the most experienced regional center operators in the EB-5 industry, today announced that United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has approved the first I-829 petition for an investor in the CMB Group 52 – Chino Hills Residential project.

An I-829 petition represents an EB-5 investor’s request to have the conditions on their permanent residency status removed. USCIS approval confirms the investor has met the requirements of the EB-5 Immigrant Investor program and grants the investor and eligible family members permanent residency without conditions in the United States.

“For nearly 30 years, we have celebrated each and every one of these incredible moments alongside our investors,” said Noreen Hogan, President at CMB. “Even after thousands of I-526/I-526E and I-829 approvals, it’s an amazing feeling to see yet another prospective immigrant to the United States complete their EB-5 journey and achieve permanent residency.”

USCIS has approved over 5,700 petitions for conditional green cards in connection with CMB partnerships.* Since being founded in 1997, CMB has repaid over $1.4 billion USD to its investors.

A collaboration with long-time partner Hillwood Development Company (Hillwood), the Group 52 EB-5 project represents an infill, mixed-use residential development consisting of 149 single family homes, 9,000 square feet of retail space, and 9,000 square feet of restaurant space.

Across more than 40 EB-5 projects, CMB and Hillwood have cultivated arguably the most successful lender-borrower relationship in the immigrant-investment space, creating more than 63,000 American jobs and repaying more than $500 million to investors.

*I-526/I-526E and I-829 approvals are audited on a quarterly basis by Forvis Mazars, LLP, a third-party national accounting firm.
