EB-5 repayment timelines are getting better.
Rural TEA projects: 3–4 years. Loan-based structures: defined maturity, clear exit. 97% I-526E approval rate in 2025.
The right project makes all the difference.

The Sep 30, 2026 grandfathering deadline is only ~5 months away. With 3–6 months of prep time needed for source of funds and due diligence, investors who haven't started are already behind. This isn't hypothetical — we saw what happened during the 2021 program lapse.
🚨 FY2026 Q1 EB-5 data is in:
800 set-aside visas issued via AOS — 2× the FY2025 pace.
Rural: ~450 (▲2.3×) HUA: ~300 (▲1.8×) Infrastructure: first visas EVER
But 30,000 applicants are chasing just 3,200 annual visas.
"Current" won't last forever. 🧵👇

A full transatlantic 787 generates $174K in revenue and $21K in profit. Fuel alone costs $50K. The airline business is not the business most people think it is.
