As the project has used bridge financing ahead of the EB-5 funds in order to ensure the project will remain on schedule for a construction completion and start of full operations by November of this year, the approval was especially encouraging in light of the language on bridge financing in the recently published [DHS EB-5 notice of proposed rule making. ](https://blog.eb5visainvestors.com/uscis-proposed-eb5-regulations-investor-guide) As a team, we've been proud to be a part of [Cairnspring's expansion into Eastern Oregon](https://landing.eb5visainvestors.com/?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8AUa4wnoVgadJkpA0KVAHXPagVli0982q3LJOxXNCuygVr92R2hHdBBaRWJ5X5okYxanUV), as we feel the project truly embodies the original intent of the [EB-5 program](https://www.eb5visainvestors.com/eb5-visa-investment), and especially the rural set aside created by the 2022 RIA, by helping to rebuild the American milling industry, bringing long term manufacturing jobs to underserved rural communities, and providing a viable alternative model for American grain farmers wanting to make the transition to regenerative farming.  A special thank you to our counsel [Robert Divine](https://www.bakerdonelson.com/Robert-C-Divine?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8AUa4wnoVgadJkpA0KVAHXPagVli0982q3LJOxXNCuygVr92R2hHdBBaRWJ5X5okYxanUV) and his team at Baker Donelson, as well as our business plan writer [Suzanne Lazicki](https://blog.lucidtext.com/about/?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8AUa4wnoVgadJkpA0KVAHXPagVli0982q3LJOxXNCuygVr92R2hHdBBaRWJ5X5okYxanUV) from Lucid Text, who were able to capture an especially creative project capital structure and scope in a very elegant and professional manner. And of course a big thank you to [Matt Galati](https://www.galati.law/?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8AUa4wnoVgadJkpA0KVAHXPagVli0982q3LJOxXNCuygVr92R2hHdBBaRWJ5X5okYxanUV) and his team at The Galati Law Firm, who filed our writ of mandamus and crafted the arguments that led to our prompt approval after filing.  Finally, thank you to all of our EB-5 investors that put their trust in us to deliver and invested prior to I-956F approval. We look forward to welcoming more investors on board to fill out the limited remaining spots.  [Schedule a Time to Speak with Our Team and Learn More.](https://landing.eb5visainvestors.com/) ## Share this post [mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fblog.eb5visainvestors.com%2Fcairnspring-mills-rural-eb-5-project-i-956f-approved](mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fblog.eb5visainvestors.com%2Fcairnspring-mills-rural-eb-5-project-i-956f-approved) ## Keep reading [![](https://blog.eb5visainvestors.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AI-Generated%20Media/Images/Calendar%20Timeline%20with%20Grandfathering%20and%20Investment%20Deadlines.png?width=1693&height=929&name=Calendar%20Timeline%20with%20Grandfathering%20and%20Investment%20Deadlines.png) Sept 30th EB-5 Grandfathering ### The September 30 EB-5 Deadline Isn't What Most Investors Think ](https://blog.eb5visainvestors.com/eb5-september-30-vs-december-31) [![Hero image illustrating EB-5 investor protections with the U.S. Capitol, investment agreements, legal compliance documents, a construction project, and a shield symbolizing due diligence, at-risk investment requirements, denial refund protection, redeployment flexibility, project completion, and the September 30, 2026 EB-5 grandfathering deadline.](https://blog.eb5visainvestors.com/hs-fs/hubfs/hero%20image_july9_2026.png?width=1672&height=941&name=hero%20image_july9_2026.png) EB-5 Due Diligence ### What Protects EB-5 Investors After They Invest? ](https://blog.eb5visainvestors.com/what-protects-eb-5-investors-after-they-invest) [![Logo Pill White (2026_03_27 17_45_45 UTC)](https://blog.eb5visainvestors.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Logo%20Pill%20White%20(2026_03_27%2017_45_45%20UTC).png?width=1906&height=652&name=Logo%20Pill%20White%20(2026_03_27%2017_45_45%20UTC).png "Logo Pill White (2026_03_27 17_45_45 UTC)")](https://blog.eb5visainvestors.com/) - [Home](https://www.eb5visainvestors.com/index) - [About Us](https://www.eb5visainvestors.com/about-us) - [Track Record](https://www.eb5visainvestors.com/eb5-track-record) - [EB-5 Visa Guide](https://www.eb5visainvestors.com/eb5-visa-investment) - [EB-5 Projects](https://landing.eb5visainvestors.com/) - [EB-5 FAQs](https://www.eb5visainvestors.com/eb5-faqs) - [Offices](https://www.eb5visainvestors.com/eb5-project-location) - [Contact](https://www.eb5visainvestors.com/eb5-application-consultation) --- [Privacy Policy](https://www.eb5visainvestors.com/privacy) © 2026 EB5 Visa Investors All rights reserved. ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "EB5 Visa Investors", "url" : "https://blog.eb5visainvestors.com/author/eb5-visa-investors" }, "dateModified" : "2026-07-16T23:23:29.182Z", "datePublished" : "2026-07-16T23:23:29.000Z", "headline" : "Cairnspring Mills Rural EB-5 Project is Now I-956F Approved!", "image" : [ "https://blog.eb5visainvestors.com/hubfs/cairnspring%20mills%20rural%20eb5%20project%20i-956f%20approval%20uscis.png" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://blog.eb5visainvestors.com/cairnspring-mills-rural-eb-5-project-i-956f-approved", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://blog.eb5visainvestors.com/hubfs/Logo%20Pill%20Blue%20(2026_03_27%2017_45_45%20UTC).png" }, "name" : "Abundance Holdings" } } ```
