The statute directs priority processing for rural regional-center petitions, but it does not guarantee a particular residence date. Consider the actual process, current visa availability and individual eligibility before fixing the move.
Keep geographic and scheduling evidence distinct
The page gives no current cutoff or processing estimate. Petition approval and immigrant admission or adjustment remain separate milestones; classification alone does not begin conditional residence or the I-829 anniversary.
The removal-of-conditions request is generally filed during the 90 days immediately before the second anniversary of obtaining conditional permanent residence. The general I-829 window follows conditional residence, while a contractual exit has its own terms. The first stage is preparation and filing: reconstructing nine years of grants, vestings and sales, obtaining the regional center’s documents and executing the subscription and escrow. Chargeability usually follows country of birth, so a Canadian passport or address does not by itself put you in a particular queue. The residence anniversary is not reset simply by producing a new employment model. Published processing times and the Visa Bulletin govern the middle stages.
