DALLAS, Dec. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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.
