In this video, you’ll learn about the EB-5 visa program through an interview with an EB-5 expert, Robert Kraft, Chairman, President, and CEO of Firstpathway Partners and President of the Board of Invest in the USA, and a top rated immigration attorney, Ili J. Subhan
The interview was filmed at the Kimpton Journeyman Hotel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, which was developed using EB-5 funds.
First, you’ll learn about Mr. Kraft and how he got started with EB-5 visa program.
Next, you’ll learn what the EB-5 visa is and how you can use it to immigrate to the USA.
👉There are two ways to invest through the EB-5 Visa program. You can either invest directly in an enterprise or you can invest in a regional center.
With either type of investment, you must create 10 full-time U.S. jobs within 2 years of the approval of the I-526, Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur. However, investment through a regional center has an advantage with counting job creation.
👉The benefits of a direct EB-5 visa are the following:
(1) you own and have an interest in the business,✔️
(2) you control day-to-day operations of the business,✔️
(3) you have the option to purchase a franchise, and✔️
(4) you have more control over the business funds.✔️
👉The benefits of investing in a regional center are the following:
(1) you may only need to invest USD$500,000 versus USD$1,000,000,✔️
(2) you can count indirect employment creation,✔️
(3) no geographical limitation to live and work,✔️ and
(4) you do no need any experience operating a business.✔️
Next, in the video you’ll learn about how an immigrant investor can immigrate to the USA by investing in a regional center.
As described above, regional centers have many benefits compared to a direct investment.
A regional center is a business that has been designated by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) to pool immigrant investor funds and then use those monies for development projects, generally hotels or other projects, which create U.S. jobs and improve the U.S. economy.💯
Also, you’ll learn how a regional center helps immigrant investors obtain green cards and what to look for when choosing a regional center to work with under the EB-5 visa program.
Next, you’ll learn about proposed legislation that will be increasing the investment amount. On November 21st, 2019, the investment amounts will be increased to 1.8 million for a non-Target Employment Area (“TEA”) and $900,000 for a TEA. Therefore, if your thinking about the EB-5 Visa program, you should act now before the prices increase.
Lastly, you’ll learn about the benefits of the EB-5 Visa program for the U.S. economy.
