Are you looking to participate in the EB-5 program to get U.S. Green Cards for yourself and your family but are worried about the risks? You’re not alone. 

The EB-5 program is a great option for those seeking access to America. The main requirement of the program is to invest $800,000 in a government pre-approved project with lawful funds. The investment must be “at risk,” meaning that the funds cannot be guaranteed. That said, there are several steps that you can take as an investor to reduce the risk of your EB-5 investment.

Wondering what to do next? Let’s break it down into three straightforward steps: (1) work with expert professionals, (2) select the right regional center, and last but not least (3) choose a suitable project for your investment.

Partner with the Right Advisors

First things first, work with a team of seasoned EB-5 advisors who know the ins and outs of the EB-5 program and can help you with every aspect of this intricate process. This isn’t one of those immigration schemes where you pay and have a passport in a matter of three months. You’re getting access to the most coveted country in the world, afterall the United States is known as the land of opportunities. So it’s understandable that the process will take a while given that everybody wants access. The process can take about five years so you must work with a team that you’re comfortable with and that you trust.

Select the Right Regional Center

Unlike the saying in the Declaration of Independence that “not all men are created equal,” the same cannot be said for regional centers—they vary greatly in quality and reliability. It’s crucial to choose one with a solid track record and a history of successful project completions. Want to learn more about what kinds of questions you should be asking to see if you’ve found a suitable regional center?

Pick a Suitable EB-5 Project

Last but not least, it’s crucial to closely examine each EB-5 project and choose a suitable one. Most importantly, you must choose an EB-5 project that meets the U.S. government requirements. Other important factors to consider are location of the project, track record of the project’s developer, and transparency in the form of an on-site camera or regular construction updates. From job creation to the project’s capital stack, our team can help you evaluate potential projects and select the best fit for your needs.
