Does self-proclaimed EB-5 due diligence expert Wassem Amin have a violent past? As it is, I wasn't very impressed with his "due diligence expertise", and now I have even less respect.

I just read an article (see link http://mainecampus.com/2004/10/14/police-beat-127/ ) about a domestic assault and threatening incident witnessed by Police in Bangor, Maine. I believe this is the same attorney of Dhar Law who has questionable knowledge of "due diligence", as Mr. Wassem Amin had apparently attended Husson University in Bangor, ME at the same time of the arrest, and this is probably the same individual. Lying about his background and expertise is one thing, but having a tendency to resort to violence is another thing entirely. In the past, I've raised several questions about Wassem Amin's competence and loyalties in doing due diligence, and what I've learnt now disappoints me even more. It is folks like Michael Gibson, Wassem Amin and Brian Sue who've caused hundreds of EB-5 visa investors lose their time and money.

EB-5 visa investors need to ask a simple fact: WHERE do an adviser's loyalties lie? I'm a Licensed RE Broker, and as such, my loyalties lie solely with my client and as I owe them a fiduciary duty, I have to place their interests ahead of mine. I can confidently state that most if not all regional centers commit securities fraud and violate securities and anti-money laundering laws.

The fact is, there is NO ambiguity when it comes to defining the best option for EB-5 visa investors, and any objective attorney and CPA will clearly advise EB-5 visa investors to choose a Genuine Direct Investment Business and avoid regional centers and partnerships due to fraud, conflict of interest, mismanagement, low returns and terrible exit strategies.

 EB-5 visa seekers should remember that Genuine Direct Investment businesses are THE BEST option to get the EB-5 visa quickly, safely and usually profitably for the following reasons:

1. Faster processing and approval times.
2. Easy exit strategy.
3. Investors usually get a much higher Return on Investment.
4. Investors usually get a much higher Capital gain, whereas regional center investors usually get capital losses.
5. Our clients have a 100% approval rate of I-526 and I-829, while those who choose regional centers or other partnerships don't.
6. Our clients have very little risk as we conduct extensive due diligence and work hard to prevent fraud and conflict of interest, whereas regional centers and partnerships are overrun with fraud and conflict of interest.
7. Full control of business and capital, which helps prevent fraud, conflict of interest and losses.

EB-5 visa investors need to remember that we offer THE BEST service when it comes to offering a turnkey solution for the following reasons:

1.  Our clients ALWAYS have full control of their business and their money. Those who choose regional centers and partnerships usually have to kiss their money goodbye, and are STUCK for 5-9 years.
2. We offer a written guarantee of freedom from fraud and conflict of interest, whereas our competitors usually don't offer this guarantee.
3. We offer a written guarantee of FULL disclosure of material facts on an ongoing basis, whereas our competitors usually don't offer this guarantee.
4. We offer a written guarantee of full fee refund in case a client is rejected due to our team's fault, while our competitors usually don't offer this guarantee because they are incompetent cowards who are unsure about the quality of their work.
5. Since 2004, our clients have NEVER been denied at the I-526 and I-829 stage, and have NEVER suffered operating or capital losses, and have usually earned over 22% annual Return on Equity because of our focus on due diligence and our extensive efforts to reduce risk by preventing fraud and conflict of interest. Try finding a regional center or partnership that boasts of this record.
6. We are quite objective in our assessments, and owe a fiduciary duty to our EB-5 visa investor clients, while those who sell regional center and partnership securities usually do not owe fiduciary duties to EB-5 visa investors. In plain words, we are required by law to put our clients interests first, and we do so because it helps us more than it helps our clients! We advise our clients diligently and help them make solid decisions.
7. We are probably the ONLY firm that actually encourages our clients to always stay in full control of their business and their funds at every stage as this helps us avoid escrow accounting and reduces potential for fraud, embezzlement and litigation.

If you're an EB-5 visa investor who wants to get their green card quickly, safely and in a usually profitable manner, please contact us. You'll be glad you did!
