 There are many EB5 regional center programs authorized by The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) that offer projects that are intended to qualify you through the EB5 visa for permanent residence status in The USA.
The experience and potential of these programs varies enormously and a few of the programs that advertise the least are actually some of the most proven. Certain well proven EB5 regional centers do not necessarily need to extensively advertise as they benefit through referrals from previous successful clients. In a number of cases these programs become fully subscribed within just a few weeks of being launched, without many potential EB5 visa applicants even being aware of their availability.
Conversely, some of the most marketed programs can be the most unproven or contentious. Some regional centers may be paying very large agent commissions or financing a large advertising budget that creates the impression of a viable project intended to encourage immigrants to fund their programs. A number of these programs may be considered, by some experts, as lacking a detailed and successful track record.
Given the need to obtain advice on the whole EB5 visa process it is understandable that potential EB5 applicants seek to find suitable professional, independent expertise. However, sometimes obtaining advice can itself be potentially risky, particularly if you do not know the detailed background to the individuals advertising themselves as consultants. Some companies or individuals may have a potential conflict of interest by also actively advising regional centers or they may have had complaints upheld against them with FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority), facts you may wish to know about.
