EB-5移民投资者计划的目的是通过吸引外国投资进入美国境内需要经济刺激和创造就业机会的各个地区，刺激美国的经济增长和创造就业机会。
通过EB-5计划获得永久居留资格，外国投资者必须至少投资105万美元。如果外国投资者投资目标就业区（TEA），则最低投资额可以减少到80万美元。

TEA 是由美国国会设立并由美国国会强制执行的名称 美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS） 吸引对失业率高的地区或农村地区的投资。因此，有两种类型的TEA：农村地区和高失业率地区。TEA的失业率必须至少为全国平均水平的150％。
2022年《EB-5诚信改革法》（RIA）提出了签证预留类别或也称为保留签证。所有EB-5签证中有32％是预留的。它规定每年预留所有EB-5签证的10％，用于投资高失业率的TEA，并每年预留所有EB-5签证的20％，用于对农村TEA的投资。这些预留款为后RIA投资者提供了在I-526E批准后可能立即获得的签证，即使他们来自积压的国家，并且提供的最低投资额为80万美元。
要使一个地区有资格成为高失业率的TEA，该地区的失业率必须至少为美国全国平均失业率的150％。
高失业率的TEA现在只能包括投资项目的人口普查区域和直接相邻的人口普查区域。这个新定义是由2022年《EB-5改革与诚信法案》（RIA）确立的。TEA 称号由美国公民及移民服务局授予。高失业率认证的有效期为两年，可以每两年续期。
这些预留款为后俄新社投资者提供了在 I-526E 或 I-526 批准后可能立即获得的签证，即使他们来自积压的国家。
农村TEA是大都市统计区之外且人口在20,000或以上的城市或城镇的外部边界以外的区域。农村TEA鼓励EB-5农村投资于需要经济发展和创造就业机会的农村地区。
尽管移民局尚未确定确切的处理时间表，但农村EB-5申请人有资格获得优先处理。2022年的《EB-5改革与诚信法》规定，每年预留所有EB-5签证的20％，用于对农村茶叶的投资。这笔预留款为后RIA投资者提供了在I-526E批准后可能立即获得的签证，即使他们来自积压的国家。此外，农村的EB-5申请可能会得到优先处理，平均处理时间为12个月。
使用TEA制图工具可以找到目标就业领域清单。投资美国（IIUSA），EB-5行业的贸易组织提供了一个交互式的TEA映射工具，可在此处找到：https://iiusa.org/resources-data/targeted-employment-areas/。人们可以访问TEA地图并查看有关每个人口普查轨道的深入数据。该地图每年根据美国劳工统计局发布的各县劳动力数据进行更新。
根据美国劳工统计局发布的地理和失业数据，农村或高失业率地区TEA或基础设施项目的EB-5投资额从105万美元减少到80万美元。
除了目标就业领域外，基础设施项目还预留了占EB-5签证总额的2％的签证，就所需的投资金额而言，它们的待遇与TEA EB5项目类似。
2022年的《EB-5改革与诚信法》定义了 “目标就业领域” 和 “基础设施” 项目；但是，基础设施项目的待遇与TEA项目类似，因为它们的投资金额相同，为80万美元，并且预留的签证占EB-5签证总额的2％。

ATLANTA (April 2025) – Peachtree Group (“Peachtree”) has successfully secured U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) approval for four regional centers:
These approvals allow Peachtree to independently structure and sponsor EB-5 projects within the designated territories, streamlining the investment process and enhancing efficiency in bringing deals to market.
The approved regional centers cover the continental U.S., giving Peachtree a national footprint to expand its EB-5 program. With these approvals, the firm plans to scale its EB-5 efforts, increase deal volume, and seamlessly integrate EB-5 capital into its broader investment strategy.
Peachtree launched its EB-5 program in 2023 with the appointment of Adam Greene as executive vice president. Since then, the program has received three I-956F approvals for hotel developments, including:
The Regional Center approvals, granted by USCIS, represent a critical milestone in facilitating EB-5 investment opportunities. Previously, Peachtree relied on third-party regional centers, which added complexity and extended processing times. Now, with its own approved regional centers, the firm can directly manage and file EB-5 investments, significantly reducing timelines and enhancing control over its platform.
“These approvals mark a major milestone for Peachtree, solidifying our ability to independently execute EB-5 transactions and accelerate our investment initiatives,” Greene said. “With this expanded capacity, we can efficiently sponsor and structure projects, further driving economic development and job creation across the country.”
Peachtree has built a strong reputation in commercial real estate investment, and the newly established regional centers align with its long-term vision of diversifying and optimizing its capital sources.
"Implementing an EB-5 program is an excellent way to access low-cost capital, diversify our funding sources and invest in job-creating projects across the country," said Greg Friedman, Peachtree's CEO and managing principal.
The EB-5 visa program allows foreign investors to obtain a green card in exchange for making a significant investment in a new commercial enterprise that creates jobs in the U.S. Under the program, foreign nationals who invest a minimum of $800,000 in a U.S.-based project that creates or preserves at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers are eligible to apply for permanent residency in the U.S.
"Looking ahead, we are committed to expanding our EB-5 footprint by increasing the number of qualifying projects and deepening our engagement with EB-5 investors. With a proven investment track record, national reach and execution expertise, Peachtree is well-positioned to leverage these approvals and solidify its leadership in the EB-5 investment sector," Greene added.

ATLANTA (April 28, 2024) – Peachtree Group("Peachtree") has received its I-956F approval from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the government agency that oversees the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, for the currently under construction SpringHill Suites by Marriott in Bryce Canyon, Utah.
The I-956F approval, granted by USCIS, marks a crucial step in Peachtree’s ongoing efforts to facilitate investment opportunities through the EB-5 program, which is designed to promote economic growth and job creation in the U.S.
“Securing USCIS approval for this project marks an important milestone,” said Adam Greene, executive vice president of EB-5 at Peachtree. “It highlights our continued focus on structuring and originating capital for high-quality developments that generate economic impact and long-term value for investors and communities.”
Peachtree originated $16.95 million in floating-rate construction financing over a three-year term for the development of a 127-room SpringHill Suites in Bryce Canyon, Utah. The hotel will be located about 10 minutes from Bryce Canyon National Park, one of the most iconic natural attractions in the United States. Known for its dramatic geological formations, the park draws more than 2 million visitors annually. The hotel is expected to be completed by mid-2025.
This is the third hotel development for which Peachtree has received I-956F approval, having previously secured it for its Home2 Suites by Hilton development in Boone, N.C.,and TownePlace Suites by Marriott in Palmdale, Calif.
“With strong travel demand, limited new supply and favorable market tail winds, well-located, newly developed assets are positioned to out perform their competitive set,” said Greene. “Construction is already underway, reducing project risk, and the firm has retained an equity stake aligned with our EB-5 investors — reinforcing our commitment and directly tying our success to theirs.”
Peachtree launched its EB-5 program in 2023 as a key financing tool to support job-creating projects nationwide. The firm remains committed to delivering high-quality investment and development opportunities through its expanding portfolio of EB-5 projects.

Navigating the immigration process can be overwhelming, especially for international students and professionals looking to secure their future in the United States. Lance Lee, the Director of Asia-Pacific EB-5 for Peachtree Group, shares his personal journey of coming to the U.S. as an international student, facing the challenges of obtaining a green card, and ultimately using the EB-5 program to secure his future. This is his story of perseverance, career transformation, and the profound impact that obtaining U.S. citizenship has had on his life and family.
Lance Lee's EB-5 Journey: From Student to U.S. Citizen
Lance Lee’s immigration journey began in 2008 when he arrived in the U.S. as an international student, facing the challenges of securing a job during a tough economic time. With his work visa options limited, Lance’s parents urged him to consider how long it might take to obtain a green card, and the answer wasn’t promising. Many of his friends faced decade-long waits for permanent residency. It was his mother’s practical advice “Time is money” that led him to explore alternatives. In 2011, Lance invested in the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, and just eight and a half months later, he received his green card. By 2015, his investment was returned, and he had successfully built his American family, becoming a U.S. citizen with two children born in the U.S.
Lance’s decision to apply for an EB-5 visa instead of relying on traditional student and H1-B work visas was fueled by the realities of the long wait for green cards, especially for applicants from China and India. After graduating in 2010, Lance was left with the daunting prospect of being tied to one employer for years under the H1-B system while waiting for a green card. The EB-5 program provided a faster and more secure path to permanent residency, allowing Lance the freedom to pursue a career that matched his passions, without the restrictions of a work visa.
One of the key reasons Lance turned to EB-5 was the limitations of H1-B visas, which often left workers vulnerable to sudden job loss. He shared stories of friends who, while traveling abroad, were caught off guard by emails informing them of their layoff, leaving them with just 60 days to find a new job or face losing their visa status. With EB-5, Lance was able to bypass these concerns, enabling him to make career decisions with confidence and travel freely without the constant anxiety that comes with the limitations of temporary work visas.
Lance’s journey also taught him valuable lessons about the EB-5 process, and he offers key tips for prospective investors. He emphasizes the importance of partnering with a reputable immigration attorney and recommends visiting the regional center before investing, to establish trust and gain a better understanding of the project. He breaks the EB-5 process into three stages: obtaining a temporary green card, securing the permanent green card, and finally receiving the investment back. For each stage, Lance stresses the importance of being patient and informed, ensuring that the investment meets job creation requirements and understanding how to eventually retrieve the invested funds.
Looking back, Lance reflects on the significant impact the EB-5 program has had on his life and his family’s future. Living in Kuala Lumpur, Lance and his family enjoy the flexibility of being U.S. citizens while gaining valuable cultural exposure in Asia. His children have had the opportunity to travel and learn from different cultures—experiences that wouldn’t have been possible if he had been stuck in a decade-long wait for a green card. Lance’s journey highlights the freedom that comes with making timely decisions and choosing the right path for both personal and professional growth. “Time is money,” he concludes, echoing his mother’s wisdom, as his decision to pursue the EB-5 program allowed him to shape the life he and his family now enjoy.
