Is Investing in the EB-5 Regional Center Services a Safe Option?

One of the fastest paths to permanent residency in the United States is through the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. Investing in an approved EB-5 Regional Center is one option for obtaining an EB-5 visa green card. In 1992, the EB-5 Regional Center Investment Program was established, commonly known as the EB-5 Investor Pilot Program. Because the pilot program is still in its early stages, many prospective foreign investors are unaware of or confused about a lot of facts. 

So, now the primary question is – is it safe to splurge into EB-5 Regional Center Services? Well, these services are meticulously planned to foster the economic growth of the country, however, there are a few fallacies and with this blog post, we are debunking the myth.



More Experience the better success rate 

One widespread misunderstanding is that the older a Regional Center is, the better its prospects of success are. Although it is true that the more experienced a Center is, the more understanding it has of the program, and the EB-5 procedure may be faster to complete; it is still necessary to examine the Center's history and the types of projects it has performed in the past.


It's possible that the Center hasn't produced a project in a long time, and given the current state of the economy in the United States, it might not be wise to invest in a center that hasn't generated any projects during or after the recession.


Rate of return on the investor's capital


Another topic has been the idea that the essential consideration in picking a Regional Center is the rate of return on the investor's capital. Although it is understandable that a return of investment funds is desirable to an investor, the EB-5 visa is, after all, an investment visa. There is always the possibility that the program will fail or will fail to achieve the job creation criteria, resulting in the applicant's inability to gain permanent residence in the United States and a risk of losing some or all of their investment.
