Still No Such Thing as Pre-Approval in EB-5

I had a problem with USCIS tossing out the label "Tenant-Occupancy Methodology" without defining it. The recent (Dec. 20, 2012) memo sent via e-mail on Dec. 28, 2012, helps clear some of the confusion created by the earlier May 2012 memo. USCIS has made some progress on terminology. It is now the time for the EB-5 Stakeholder Community to take ownership of one of its mistakes and stop talking about anything being "pre-approved" Ther ain't no such thing!
Matter of Izummi, 22 I&N Dec. 169 (AAO 1998) held in pertinent part:
(9) The Service does not pre-adjudicate immigrant-investor petitions; each petition must be adjudicated on its own merits.This is NOT new. This is not rocket-science. A Dummy I-526 allows for an advance vetting of shared documents and that part is "Provisionally Approved" or as USCIS states it, they make a "Preliminary Determination" but only on the shared documents submitted.-
