The project-level filing that confirms a specific EB-5 offering's job-creation methodology and use of investor capital before individual investors can file.
Form I-956F is filed by the Regional Center for a specific New Commercial Enterprise (NCE) and project. It documents the offering's structure, business plan, and economic methodology for job creation.
USCIS approval of Form I-956F is a prerequisite for investors in that specific offering to file Form I-526E.
Approval reflects USCIS's review of the filing for regulatory compliance — it is not a government endorsement of the investment's financial merits, a repayment guarantee, or a guarantee that any individual investor's I-526E will be approved.
