20) What would be the three top pieces of advice we can give to a prospective EB-5 investor?

  • Think hard whether you are ready and prepared to move to the United States and live here permanently. EB-5 is an immigrant intent visa. Those unsure whether they want to make the United States their new homeland should inquire about alternative methods to come to the United States.
  • Pick a financial advisor or licensed broker-dealer to work with to identify an eligible project for investment. The minimum required investment amount for EB-5 is $900,000. The total expenses considering the legal and government filing fees and regional center administrative fees could easily total $ 100,000 or more. You need a professional to aid you in the project selection, due diligence, and follow-up.
  • Work with an experienced immigration attorney specialized in EB-5 who will work with you and guide you through every step of the way.
