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”.

For the typical foreign investor even the brief amount of information we have provided here can at times present difficulty to obtain and in some cases could be presented from a biased provider.  It is critical to obtain your facts and data from an impartial source and a company that has helped people just like you from more than 22 countries around the world over since 2007. 

If you would like to get the latest updates on the EB-5 opportunities within Regional Centers, or get a comparative analysis of several EB-5 opportunities that will allow you and your family to obtain a green card through investment, please contact one of our experienced EB-5 consultants via email at info@exclusivevisas.com or use the “online request form.”
