Immigration AttorneyRemember that TEA is decided on both a federal level (USCIS) and by the states or their assigned agencies. Best to check with your local state (or their appropriate agency) since their procedures/requirements can vary drastically. For example, if you're in CA, you can contact the Go-Biz Office in Sacramento. Even if you don't qualify by census tract, you may be able to qualify as a TEA through an alternative designation such as MSA or a rural area.
