  1. How to Vet EB-5 Projects Since an EB-5 investment must always be “at risk,” it should be undertaken with caution and care. Acceptable EB-5 projects comprise various business models, spanning an array of industries. Typical projects include: • Commercial or residential real estate • Hotels • Casinos & convention centers • Manufacturing facilities • Infrastructure projects • Medical facilities • Places of entertainment • Restaurants • Retail centers • Stadiums • Agricultural development (e.g. farms, wineries, etc.) The type of EB-5 project you invest in is arguably the most important choice you make. Why? Because not only does the project have to meet USCIS criteria, but the enterprise has to be a viable business that serves to create the 10 or more jobs required. Ultimately, an EB-5 investor’s permanent resident status hinges on the success of the project.

  2. Therefore, EB-5 investors should do their due diligence before deciding where to invest, by answering the following questions: • What is the Regional Center’s track record? How many EB-5 projects have they already successfully developed? • What are the credentials of the principals of the project? • How many EB-5 investors are required for the project, and how many have already invested? How will the jobs created be divided among investors? • Have all their past investors’ I-526 and I-829 applications been successfully approved? • How long has it taken them in past to pay back investors? • Has the Regional Center or anyone in its leadership been involved in lawsuits or filed bankruptcies? • How will the business you are investing in create jobs? • What are the risks associated with the business? • Are there projected returns on the investment? • Is the project already under construction? How far away is it from completion? • How many other EB-5 investors participating in the project? • What percentage of funding not tied to EB-5 petitions will be used on the project? If so, what is the source of this funding? • How will EB-5 investors be compensated if the project fails? How are they collateralized? • After obtaining permanent resident status, how will the investor extract himor herself from the business? • At what stage of the application processare other EB-5 investors participating in the business? • What will happen to the investment and related fees in the event an investor’s I-526 petition is denied?
