 EB-5 Visa – Warning – Over the course of the past few years we have regularly updated readers on the potential dangers when they are carrying out research and due-diligence on the EB-5 visa program. We feel this information is vital to the potential EB-5 visa applicant. To date, all clients who have used our services have enjoyed a 100% success record at the I-526 and I-829 petition stage.
If you are searching for impartial, independent information from an experienced source, finding genuine specialists to guide you can be full of pitfalls. We highlighted this again in yesterday’s blog, with the details of two further incidents involving EB-5 visa practitioners, one of who is now serving a substantial term of imprisonment.
We recently had an enquiry from a family who had been given information on an EB-5 regional center by an EB-5 visa consultant; they wanted a second opinion. Unfortunately, the information they had been given was only half the story, they had not been given important details on the negative aspects of a particular regional center. Importantly those negative issues could have led to the loss of some or all the required $500,000.
We enquired how they had come across this consultant and they said they had used business and social network sites to find this person. The problem is such sites often rely on information that is self-posted and it is extremely unlikely that someone is going to include anything negative about themselves; such as being charged and found guilty of providing inconsistent information and violation of securities exchange rules by The New York Stock Exchange Commission. However, if you are choosing an advisor to guide you on aspects of immigrating to the USA on an EB-5 visa that requires a $500,000 capital outlay, wouldn’t you want to know if that advisor had committed such a crime?
It is important to receive impartial legal and financial advice prior to selecting an EB-5 visa program. Further information about the EB-5 visa program, written from a consumer perspective, can be found in Green card via the Red Carpet.
