Investor Journey

Standalone & Direct EB-5 Investigations

Unlike Regional Center investments where capital is pooled, Direct EB-5 allows investors to actively manage their own business or invest directly into an operational company. This requires robust business plans and strict tracking of direct job creation.

Note: Direct EB-5 petitions (I-526) require specialized legal and business planning expertise to prove the direct W-2 job creation requirements established by USCIS.
