There are two ways in which you can invest your funds with the EB5 visa: invest it directly or through a Regional Center.
Direct investment would mean you would fully manage the project yourself. However, if you would welcome some support with your business project and maximising your ROI isn’t such a major priority, then an EB5 Regional Center can offer you that support.
The USCIS has given accredited Regional Centers designation to follow specific regulations in order to help make your project a success. A Regional Centre can reduce the burden and difficulty of generating profit.
For both routes the same EB5 visa requirements apply, however, under a Regional Center, meeting the job creation criteria may be easier and less complicated as you can benefit from indirect job creation.
