EB-5 Rural Project: Lakeport Marriott Hotel - Fast Dual Approval Secures Your U.S. Green Card

Globevisa has consistently prioritized investor interests, rigorously vetting every project to ensure the highest standards of green card and capital security in EB-5 investment. The Lakeport Marriott Hotel project is a prime example of a high-assurance choice under Globevisa's stringent quality control system.

Prime Location: A Midwest Hub Attracting 5 Million Annual Visitors

Location is the golden rule for evaluating any project's value. The Lakeport Marriott Hotel project is strategically situated in Missouri—often referred to as the "Crossroads of America"—on a rare, prime waterfront parcel of the Lake of the Ozarks, one of the largest man-made lakes in the Midwest. This region, known as the "Missouri Dragon Vein," attracts over 5 million tourists annually.

The project is a massive resort complex integrating a Marriott hotel, parking facilities, a water park, and an amusement park. Its central location acts as a transportation hub, serving a core population of over 8 million people in surrounding major cities like Kansas City (2.5 hours drive) and St. Louis (3 hours drive), making it an undeniable new regional cultural and tourism landmark.

Green Card Security: Dual Approval and Double Job-Creation Coverage

Leveraging Globevisa's professional oversight, the project offers unparalleled security for the EB-5 immigration pathway. In addition to the Rural TEA category advantage—which qualifies for Priority Processing and Reserved Visa Quotas from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)—the project has achieved Dual Approval for both the project's eligibility and the investor's petition:The project's eligibility, filed under I-956F, was successfully approved on July 16, 2025, confirming it meets all EB-5 requirements. Following this, the first investor petition, filed under I-526E, was approved in September 2025, demonstrating rapid processing with the entire timeline taking only 4 months and 5 days. The"Dual Approved" is the strongest assurance against uncertainty.

Furthermore, the project's total job creation for securing permanent green cards (I-829) is projected at 3,517 jobs, averaging 20.3 jobs per investor. This represents a job surplus of 103% over the minimum 1,730 jobs required by the EB-5 program, providing a massive safety margin for the final I-829 permanent green card approval.

Capital Security: Government Backing and Six-Fold Collateral

The project's financial structure is fortified with multiple layers of security to safeguard investor capital:

● Government Endorsement: The project has been approved to issue $100 million in TIF (Tax Increment Financing) Government Bonds, signaling strong government support and recognition. The Governor of Missouri has publicly endorsed the project as a "Major Strategic Project" for the state's tourism economy, ensuring smooth construction and long-term operation.

● Senior Loan Status: The EB-5 investment is structured as a Senior Loan with the same repayment priority as the federal government lending institution (XRC). This is an extremely rare and advantageous structure in the market, greatly protecting the interests of EB-5 investors.

● Robust Collateral: The EB-5 investment is secured by a six-fold asset collateral package, including the project land, all project assets, 100% equity pledge, and oversight of design and contracts.

● Secure Exit Strategy: An independent appraisal by the authoritative firm LWHA estimates the project's stabilized value at $413 million. This provides an approximate double repayment coverage rate, ensuring a secure exit for investors.

● Completion Guarantees: The developer and shareholders provide five-fold completion guarantees, completely locking in project completion and investment safety.

The Lakeport Marriott Hotel project is a benchmark under Globevisa's strict risk control system, perfectly combining accelerated immigration, dual approval, senior loan structure, and multiple guarantees. Only 65 precious investment slots are available globally.
