Common Questions

What is an EB-5 regional center?

A regional center is an entity designated by USCIS to promote economic growth in a defined geographic area. Regional center projects allow investors to count indirect and induced jobs (not just direct jobs) toward the EB-5 ten-job requirement.

How do I evaluate an EB-5 regional center project?

Key factors include the regional center's track record, the project's job creation methodology, the economic analysis supporting job projections, the developer's financial strength, and any prior USCIS approvals. An experienced attorney can help you assess project risks.

What is the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program?

The EB-5 program allows foreign nationals to obtain a U.S. green card by making a qualifying investment in a new commercial enterprise that creates at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers. The minimum investment amount depends on whether the project is in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA).

How do I choose an EB-5 immigration attorney?

Look for an attorney with specific EB-5 experience, a track record with USCIS petitions, and familiarity with your investment type (direct or regional center). Verify their bar standing, ask about their approval rates, and ensure they can explain the process clearly.

What is the difference between direct and regional center EB-5?

Direct EB-5 requires the investor to directly manage or be involved in a new commercial enterprise. Regional center EB-5 allows passive investment through an approved regional center, which can count indirect and induced jobs toward the 10-job requirement.
