EB-5 Bridge for Owner’s Equity in Hotel Projects

The U.S Immigration Department has Proposed Significant Updates to EB-5 Visa Processing:  Congress created the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program in 1990 to create jobs and spur investment in the United States.  The EB-5 program is available to prospective immigrants who invest in a new commercial enterprise that will create at least 10 full-time jobs in the United States.  EB-5 investors may petition to participate either on their own or under a USCISdesignated “Regional Center.”  Regional Centers are public or private entities that promote economic growth, regional productivity, job creation, and capital investment.  USCIS accepts petitions for interested investors on Form I-526 and applications for Regional Center designation on Form I-924.

EB-5 Money works well in China for Visa purposes.  In many cases Visa processing can take many months and up to years for approval.  The EB-5 program allows a more efficient process, allowing Chinese and other international business-oriented investors to gain a permanent Visa, invest in the US, and to earn returns on this investment.
