What is an EB-5 Regional Center and is investing in it the right move for your family?

Regional Centers are public or private economic entities designated by USCIS for participation in the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. They sponsor capital investment projects for investment by qualified EB-5 applicants.

The main advantage Regional Centers projects have over direct investment projects is that they can count indirect and induced job creation to help fulfill the EB-5 Program requirements more easily.
