Appellation Sun Valley Rural TEA EB-5 Project Awarded Form I-956F Exemplar Application Approval

Golden Gate Global, a leading California-based EB-5 regional center, received a Form I-956F project approval from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for its current Rural Targeted Employment Area (TEA) project, the Appellation Sun Valley. The decision continues GGG’s 100% USCIS project approval rate.

“We are thrilled to announce that our Appellation Sun Valley project has received USCIS approval, affirming the strength of our project underwriting. This milestone not only highlights our dedication to meticulous due diligence but also reinforces our commitment to providing a secure and prosperous EB-5 investment opportunity. We are proud of our outstanding track record, continuously maintaining a 100% USCIS project approval rate," stated Mark Jorgensen, Co-CEO of Golden Gate Global.

Approval of Form I-956F is a crucial milestone in the EB-5 process. It confirms that USCIS has thoroughly reviewed and approved the project's documentation, ensuring it meets all EB-5 program requirements. This includes confirming Appellation Sun Valley's status as a rural targeted employment area, along with endorsing the project's job creation approach and its secured loan structure. This approval also underlines the robust protections in place for investors.
