Does anyone have experience in going through the EB5 investor visa and eventually getting US Greencard?
I know the processes, stages, wait times and costs involved but need real data and references that will help answer the following,
should one go direct investment vs regional center investment ?
what are the top regional centers in the US?
What is the best interest rate paid by regional center?
Is it really worth the risk?
Any other pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

What do you mean by a regional center? Like a shopping center?
seems to be this:

Regional centers are basically agents to the big businesses to scout for EB5 investors.
EB5 investors can invest through regional centers in construction projects
Why do you think this group will have insight into this? This is not an immigration forum. Strange!
there are seasoned real estate investors on this forum. Who knows, someone might have invested their way to an EB5 US greencard and can share some tips.
No harm asking for help.
If you don’t have anything constructive to offer on the topic, why reply? Now thats strange.
Constructive feedback I have is not to ask for immigration advice on this forum. So not at all strange.
Lets say some seasoned investor use this to enter US their advice will be old and not relevant.
I do contribute a lot of constructive feedback on this forum.
i get that you have contributed to this forum. sorry but that doesn’t give you the right to say what others should or shouldn’t post on this forum.
Folks from certain asian countries have a lot of information and connections in this matter. 90% of the eb5 investments are linked to real estate. who knows, someone her might even be running a regional center too.
Whatever, just think that im bumping your chances of finding that elusive response here.
Let me know if you find any though! Lol
sure thing
You know that Shipyard project in SF? That’s a huge condo/TH development done by Lenard. I used to look into their EB5 program for a friend. Not sure if it’s still around. You can check it out:
