Are Regional Centers illegally offering and selling securities to EB-5 visa investors in India?


I just read a highly misleading article (see link http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/nri/visa-and-immigration/1200-indians-queue-up-to-shell-out-half-a-million-dollars-for-us-green-card/articleshow/52980799.cms ) in an Indian newspaper that shows that regional centers may still be illegally marketing and selling securities in India.

This is a misleading article filled with inaccuracies but shows that even today, regional centers and unscrupulous individuals are illegally marketing and selling securities in India. 

For starters, the article wrongly states that the Direct Investment route is cumbersome, and not only is the Direct Investment route actually easy, it is also very easy to PROFITABLY create 10 jobs in a Genuine Direct Investment Business.
Second, the minimum investment amount for Direct Investment is $500,000, and not $1 Million.
Third, the writer seems unaware of the fact that regional centers usually engage in massive conflict of interest and commit securities fraud and violate securities laws by ILLEGALLY marketing and selling securities in India without first getting SEBI approval.
Fourth, the write seems unaware of the fact that the annual return on equity from regional centers is about 1% and the chances of capital loss are very high due to the conflict of interest and securities fraud, while annual the return on equity in direct investments typically exceeds 15% and the chances of capital loss are close to none due to the absence of conflict of interest and fraud.

EB-5 visa investors who're interested in safely and profitably getting a green card should invest in a GENUINE Direct Investment Business and avoid regional centers that pay peanuts and are illegally marketing and selling securities in India.
In contrast to the dishonest CEO's of regional centers who routinely violate securities laws, commit securities fraud, and engage in conflict of interest, we at Smart Business Broker, Inc. do not charge junk fees or use the investment funds of EB-5 visa investors to pay illegal commissions to unlicensed brokers. We have a strict policy of zero fraud and conflict of interest, and actually offer this guarantee in writing to our clients. 

Not only do we offer our EB-5 visa investor clients a written guarantee of full disclosure of material facts, we also have an open books policy, while regional center CEO's will usually refuse to offer this guarantee, as they usually violate securities laws and engage in conflict of interest too.
Moreover, unlike regional center executives and attorneys who illegally offer and sell regional centers' securities, we don't engage in conflict of interest, due to which our EB-5 visa investor clients are able to PROFITABLY create 10 jobs.
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 with no control over their money and a very high risk of capital loss.
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!

Yours truly,
Mohammed Shaikh, Licensed RE and Business Broker (CA & FL)
