USCIS report states that more than 90% of the individual Form I-526 petitions filed each year are filed by Alien Investors who are investing in RC-affiliated commercial enterprises as compared to a “Direct EB-5 Project”.
Despite the fact that there is currently over 140 approved Regional Centers, not all of them have active EB-5 projects and out of those that have active projects not all are what would be considered “secure” and some can be considered “speculative”.
