  481. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program has long been a trusted pathway for international investors seeking U.S. residency. However, the impact of the Trump administration have introduced uncertainties, including travel restrictions, increased vetting, and discussions about alternative investor programs. Despite these challenges, EB-5 remains a viable and strategic option for investors committed to securing U.S. permanent residency.</span></p>

  489. <div class="wpb_wrapper">
  490. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the most immediate impacts of the Trump administration’s immigration policies has been heightened scrutiny in visa adjudications. Under recent executive orders aimed at national security, EB-5 investors now face:</span></p>
  491. <ul>
  492. <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>More rigorous background checks</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to verify the lawful source of investment funds.</span></li>
  493. <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Extended processing times</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> due to increased due diligence at U.S. embassies and consulates.</span></li>

  495. </ul>
  496. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While these changes add extra steps to the process, they do not alter the fundamental eligibility of EB-5 applicants.

  505. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In February 2025, the Trump administration proposed a new </span><b>&#8220;Gold Card&#8221; visa program</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which would grant U.S. permanent residency to investors contributing </span><b>$5 million directly to the U.S. government</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, without the job creation requirement that EB-5 mandates. While this alternative may appeal to ultra-high-net-worth individuals, it lacks the economic development component that has made the </span><b>EB-5 program so valuable to U.S. communities</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
  506. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At this stage, the </span><b>Gold Card</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> program remains a proposal, and legal experts question whether it can replace the congressionally authorized EB-5 program.

The limited-time loan program represents a rare opportunity for investors to seize the moment and secure their future under the existing EB-5 legislation.</p>
  561. <p>The timing couldn&#8217;t be more critical as uncertainty looms over the future of the &#8220;Gold Card&#8221; visa, designed for the ultra-wealthy. In contrast, the EB-5 program, bolstered by our financing option, stands as a beacon of stability and affordability in the ever-evolving landscape of U.S. immigration policy.</p>
  562. <p>The Apple Mountain EB-5 project has been organized for up to 63 limited partner units available to potential EB-5 investors. Critically, the Project is located in a rural area, which has been confirmed by USCIS&#8217; recent <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4374549-1&amp;h=2244894361&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fdrive.google.com%2Ffile%2Fd%2F1JR0B64efpxx5nH3Ed57RBCFsVmS1iO54%2Fview%3Fusp%3Ddrive_link&amp;a=project+approval+letter" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">project approval letter</a>, issued to <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4374549-1&amp;h=3616931303&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rubylawgroup.com%2F&amp;a=Ruby+Law+Group" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Ruby Law Group</a> and <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4374549-1&amp;h=1042350487&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwvregionalcenter.com%2Fnew1%2F&amp;a=West+Virginia+Regional+Center" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">West Virginia Regional Center</a>. There is yet to be visa retrogression through at least <span class="xn-chron">March 2025</span>, according to the Visa Bulletin; however, the Department of State has warned that a priority date for rural EB-5 investments is likely to be established this fiscal year. Investors in the U.S. in nonimmigrant statuses would be immediately eligible to file for adjustment of status alongside their investor petition.</p>
  563. <p>Fewer than 15 of these investment loan slots remain available as of today&#8217;s date. The Project Sponsor, the <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4374549-1&amp;h=2313860166&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fappleatchaorchards.com%2F&amp;a=AppleAtcha" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">AppleAtcha</a> group, has worked with a local bank to create a series of personal (unsecured) loans that are available to qualified investors in amounts up to <span class="xn-money">$400,000</span> – or half the investment amount.</p>

  596. <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Kentucky c</span><span class="s2">oal mining played a significant role in Appalachia’s economy, but with changes in the energy landscape, many mining operations halted, leaving former sites unused. AppleAtcha is revitalizing Eastern <a href="https://farmflavor.com/kentucky-agriculture/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kentucky</a> by transforming former coal mines into productive farmland.</span></p>
  597. <p class="p2"><span class="s3">“The idea came from collaboration between <a href="http://boothenergy.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Booth Energy</a> and <a href="https://www.continentalheritage.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Continental Heritage Insurance</a>,” said Charles Hamm, AppleAtcha CEO. “They were looking to repurpose the surface mine land they had in Eastern Kentucky and give the local economy a boost by shifting from coal mining to agriculture.”</span></p>
  598. <p class="p2"><span class="s3">The first orchard was planted in Johnson and Martin counties in 2021. AppleAtcha planted 120,000 apple trees on 60 acres. It’s a high-density setup with Honeycrisp apple trees planted 21 inches apart and rows spaced 10 feet apart to maximize production. </span></p>
  599. <p class="p2"><span class="s3">The process of transforming a former Kentucky coal mine into an apple orchard was complex. Site preparation required specialized mining equipment to crush or remove rocks and make the land suitable for planting apple trees.</span></p>
  600. <p class="p2"><span class="s3">“Our experience from planting the first 60 acres has taught us valuable </span><span class="s2">lessons that will streamline </span><span class="s3">the process for future acreage,” Hamm said.</span></p>

  611. <p class="p2"><span class="s3">AppleAtcha has a goal of creating a vibrant commercial apple orchard with at least 1,000 acres in production on several former mine sites in Eastern Kentucky, so the apple orchard is just the beginning.</span></p>
  612. <p class="p2"><span class="s3">In partnership with the nonprofit organization Community at the Core, AppleAtcha is building an $11.5 million packing and storage facility called the packhouse. AppleAtcha will have a long-term lease to manage the packhouse and provide for year-round storage of apples in a controlled atmospheric storage environment.</span></p>
  613. <p class="p2"><span class="s3">In addition to processing apples from its own orchard, the packhouse will have the capability to process apples from other orchards. Hamm calls it a move toward the long-term sustainability and growth of the project that will allow Kentucky to be a major player in the apple industry.</span></p>
  614. <p class="p2"><span class="s3">“Our initiative focuses on creating a positive economic influence by creating job opportunities, rejuvenating the community, and highlighting agricultural advancements,” Hamm said. “AppleAtcha isn’t just about growing apples; it represents a transformational model of turning former coal mines into a thriving </span><span class="s2">apple orchard, producing quality fruit </span><span class="s3">and driving progress and economic development in Eastern Kentucky through innovative practices and community partnerships.”</span></p>

  656. <p>Congratulations to our Community Partner, Community at the Core. The U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) is awarding a $752,000 grant to Community at the Core, Inc. in Debord, Kentucky, to support growth of the agriculture production sector.</p>
  657. <p>This grant will support the procurement of production equipment at a new apple sorting facility. This EDA investment will be matched with $188,000 in local funds and is expected to create 150 jobs, retain 100 jobs, and generate $70 million in private investment, according to grantee estimates.</p>
  658. <p>&#8220;The Economic Development Administration works closely with communities to support locally driven disaster recovery and resiliency efforts,&#8221; <strong>said Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development Alejandra Y. Castillo</strong>. &#8220;This strategic, place-based project will provide critical agricultural and manufacturing infrastructure to diversify the economy in a community recovering from flooding as well as shifts in the coal community.&#8221;</p>
  659. <p>Recently, we have seen amazing growth within our agriculture production industry, which is playing a major role in the commonwealth&#8217;s continued economic prosperity,&#8221; <strong>said Governor Andy Beshear</strong>. &#8220;I am excited to see how this incredible investment will continue to increase that momentum for Eastern Kentucky and the rest of our state.&#8221;</p>
  660. <p>This project was made possible by the regional planning efforts led by the Big Sandy Area Development District (Big Sandy ADD). EDA funds Big Sandy ADD to bring together the public and private capital investment and create jobs.</p>
  661. <p>This project was funded under the Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2023, which provided EDA with $483 million in additional Economic Adjustment Assitance (EAA) Program funds for disaster relief and recovery for areas that received a major disaster declaration under the <a href="https://www.fema.gov/disaster/stafford-act" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robert T. Stafford Act</a> as a result of Hurricanes Ian and Fiona, wildfires, flooding, and other natural disasters ocurring in calendar years 2021 and 2022. Please visit EDA&#8217;s <a href="https://www.eda.gov/strategic-initiatives/disaster-recovery/supplemental" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Disaster Supplemental webpage</a> for more information.</p>
