The EB-5 visa can enable you, your spouse and unmarried children under 21 to obtain permanent U.S. residency. Citizenship may be obtained after five years. Some Regional Centers give the impression that, because they are Government designated, they have the Government’s stamp of approval. They do not. All Regional Centers are Government designated for purposes of immigration. However, this does not guarantee anything. Request EB-5 Visa Information |

As for whether it's a good time to apply for an EB-5, it is worth being mindful of the fact that the visa rules are changing all the time. The other problem is the limited supply of suitable programs to meet the heavy demand, particularly from Japanese, Chinese and Korean investors. If you have currency considerations and school timetables to consider among other things it is worthwhile considering the option within your time scale

There are a number of reasons why it is important to seek independent advice before taking at first hand all the claims relating to the programs. There are a number of areas potential EB-5 visa applicants need to be aware of from legal, financial and practical perspectives that are not readily apparent from the various program details. Some applicants have focused on the investment potential at the expense of the visa implications of the various programs which may cause them certain problems when it is too late.

While two to three years ago a $100,000 investment, or even less, in an active U.S. business that employed 2-3 workers easily passed the "marginality" test, this is no longer so, not even if the business is quite profitable. Today, the investment should be in the $200,000+ range, the business should employ at least 5 workers, and the applicant must be able to prove "non-immigrant intent". (While the E-2 visa regulations do not require that investors maintain a residence in the home country, the consulate may consider the sale of your home in a proof of "immigrant intent").

As you can live or work anywhere you want to in the USA through the EB5 visa (pilot programme) you may feel or indeed be told that the location of the various regional centres is not relevant. However the location of a number of regional centre programs could in particular circumstances have a significant impact, for example after two years and again when you are able to exit the programme and receive your investment back. We have discovered by visiting regional centres a much clearer idea of the pros and cons of their location.
