Notes on Code and Data Sources

Availability status (code and pathway assessed separately)

Code status

Available in official code tables/announcements

The code's presence in official materials proves only that the code exists; it does not indicate whether the pathway is open.

Underlying pathway status

Pathway available

Both the current official eligibility page and the code-table row have been checked and confirm that applications may be made under this pathway; this does not mean that any individual qualifies or will be approved, and a visa number must still be available.

Pathway:EB-5 Immigrant Investors (Post-2022 RIA Codes)。USCIS EB-5 page: Regional center and direct investment pathways remain current, including rural/high-unemployment/infrastructure set-asides; spouses and children under age 21 may derive status. Evidence valid through 2026-12-31.

Verification date2026-10-11; independent of the difficulty-of-obtaining-status score; the absence of a score does not affect this status.

Mapping Explanation:Only the regional center rural set-aside principal-applicant adjustment-of-status pathway shown in the RR6 record is assessed; this score has not been copied to RR7/RR8 derivatives or consular admission codes.

  • QEligibility entry threshold×0.450
    Reasons and Evidence
    • Must invest lawfully sourced capital in a new commercial enterprise and plan to create or preserve 10 full-time jobs (USCIS EB-5 page).
    • The minimum investment in a TEA (including a rural area) or an infrastructure project is $800,000 (for petitions filed on or after 2022-03-15).

    Anchor:A combination of several statutory conditions that can be planned for (such as education + a specialty occupation position, or compliant capital investment + job creation).

    Reason:The conditions are a combination of capital and project requirements that can be planned for, rather than depending on family relationships or individual achievements; therefore, the “several statutory conditions that can be planned for” anchor is used.

  • VNumerical-limit competition and waiting×0.2550
    Reasons and Evidence
    • The annual limit for employment-based immigrant preference categories is 140,000, subject to per-country percentage limits (USCIS visa availability page).
    • The statute reserves 20% of EB-5 visas for immigrants investing in rural areas (8 U.S.C. 1153).

    Anchor:Subject to a statutory annual cap (allocation through priority dates/the visa bulletin, or a cap on total annual approvals/status grants).

    Reason:Subject to statutory numerical limits and the priority-date mechanism; the rural set-aside is a source of visa numbers, not a promise about waiting times, and this site does not estimate years of waiting from the current month's Visa Bulletin.

  • EEvidentiary burden×0.1575
    Reasons and Evidence
    • Must demonstrate the lawful source of investment capital, that the capital is at risk, and job creation (Policy Manual, Volume 6, Part G, Chapter 2).

    Anchor:Multiple elements, including complex proof such as source of funds, a business plan, or facts requiring long-term continuity.

    Reason:Source of funds, at-risk investment, and job creation involve complex evidentiary requirements with multiple elements.

  • CStatutory financial threshold×0.199
    Reasons and Evidence
    • The statutory minimum investment is $800,000 (TEA/infrastructure); this amount will increase automatically on 2027-01-01.

    Anchor:Statutory minimum investment amount (hundreds of thousands of U.S. dollars or more).

    Reason:The statutory minimum investment is hundreds of thousands of dollars, placing it at the highest anchor. Because the amount will be adjusted on 2027-01-01, this assessment is valid through 2026-12-31.

  • PProcedural dependencies×0.199
    Reasons and Evidence
    • Regional center investors first file Form I-526E and then pursue a green card; upon approval, they are conditional permanent residents and must file Form I-829 to remove conditions (the G-1055 fee schedule lists I-526E and I-829).
    • Depends on project compliance by the regional center and project entities.

    Anchor:Multiple stages including further review after conditional status, or a long procedural chain dependent on the principal applicant’s outcome.

    Reason:Multiple stages, dependence on a third-party project, and further review after conditional status warrant the highest anchor.

EB-5 Regional Center Rural Set-Aside (Adjustment of Status) Principal/Derivative Group

The FY2024 statistical table separates adjustment-of-status records for the regional center rural set-aside into three codes—principal / spouse / child—with the principal-derivative relationships identified row by row in the same statistical table.

Verification of a Newly Added Pathway:Pathway available

Both the current official eligibility page and the code-table row have been checked and confirm that applications may be made under this pathway; this does not mean that any individual qualifies or will be approved, and a visa number must still be available.

Limitations of the Original Relationship Snapshot

These three codes appear in DHS/OHSS FY2024 Table 7 statistics, which establish only that completed records of these types existed in that fiscal year; they do not independently establish that, as of 2026, this pathway remains available for newly acquiring status.(As of the original snapshot, not a current conclusion)

This code is for a principal applicant; derivative codes expressly linked by the source

  • RR6is for a principal applicant, whoseSpouseisRR7Reviewed

  • RR6is for a principal applicant, whoseChildrenisRR8Reviewed

  • The relationships in this version come only from the verbatim definitions in the source text; no principal/derivative relationship is inferred from code prefixes or suffixes, numerical magnitude, or adjacent numbering.
  • “Principal applicant / derivative” describes only the classification in the source directory at the time permanent resident status is obtained; it does not mean that, after becoming an LPR, the principal applicant retains any ongoing control over family members' status.
  • The OHSS master table establishes only the existence of a definitions catalog; it does not automatically establish that status under the code can still be newly obtained today.
  • Relationships marked “Source-linked · pending review” have not yet undergone completed independent legal review and are listed solely according to the original source text.

  • Listed in FY2024 Table 7 (official annual figures are rounded to the nearest 10 and are approximate only; they do not represent exact counts of cards issued); this does not automatically establish that the process can still be newly initiated as of 2026.

Fields that were unverified at the time of the original snapshot remain unchanged. See the newly added pathway verification for current status; other fields are not thereby elevated to verified status.

  • Discontinuation of a code does not automatically revoke LPR status previously lawfully obtained; an individual's status still depends on subsequent facts.
