EB-5 Direct Investment

We would like you to know that EB-5 direct investment I-526 cases like the example below are reported by immigration lawyers to take about 3-6 months to adjudicate by USCIS as opposed to about 1 ½ years for Regional Center cases.

“Pooled Investments in Non-Regional Center Cases

The EB-5 Program provides that a new commercial enterprise can be used as the basis for the petition of more than one immigrant investor. Each immigrant investor must invest the required amount of capital and each immigrant investor’s investment must result in the required number of jobs. Furthermore, the new commercial enterprise can have owners who are not seeking to enter the EB-5 Program, provided that the source(s) of all capital invested is (or are) identified and all invested capital has been derived by lawful means.”
