In EB-5, TEA means Targeted Employment Area: a U.S. location that qualifies as rural or high-unemployment under EB-5 rules.
TEA status matters because it can determine which minimum investment threshold applies.
But TEA is also a due diligence issue, not just a label. You want to verify how the project qualifies, how it’s documented, and whether it aligns with current rules before you move funds.
