Our only competitors used to be unscrupulous regional center promoters and marketers, and they're now joined by those who market questionable partnerships and third rate franchises to EB-5 under the direct investment category.
I saw one of our competitors (who sells regional center securities), conducting a survey, asking EB-5 visa seekers whether they preferred green card, safe investment or profit. This is unethical and IMHO, EB-5 visa investors should never be made to make choices like these. We offer all 3 of the above in addition to faster processing, zero conflict of interest, zero fraud and easy exit strategy to all of our EB-5 visa clients.
In order to avoid being defrauded by marketers of regional centers,
partnerships or substandard franchises, EB-5 visa
seekers should keep the following information in mind:
With regional centers & partnerships, it takes longer to get
approved, the ROI is low
(or none), capital losses are quite common, the exit strategy is truly
shitty and the I-829 approval rate is about 42%. In contrast, our
EB-5 visa clients get approved faster, and in 10 years haven't suffered a
single rejection at either the I-526 or I-829 stage or had capital
losses or operating losses, and have always been able to exit easily.
Unlike Mr. Hall who sells Marcos Pizza franchises or Fred
Burgess & Joe Sloboda who tried to steer EB-5 visa investors into
Voodoo, even though Voodoo doesn't have such a great record or
reputation, we always try to place our clients in reputable franchises
such as 5 Guys / KFC / Subways etc. or in solid non-franchise businesses
such as used car lots, cell phone stores, etc. where it is easy to
generate jobs and quite easy to earn decent profits.
With
us, our client's money is invested in their own business instead of being
used to procure goods and services at inflated prices (as is common with
our competitors) or hire undeserving related parties at inflated
salaries.
EB-5 visa investors need to ask several important questions of
regional center promoters (CEO / CFO / Vice President / EVP / SVP etc.)
and marketers. It is quite common for crooks to refuse to offer the
following safeguards to EB-5
visa investors:
1) A written guarantee by the top 5 officers of the regional center /
partnership firm AND the marketer, confirming that they will
clearly disclose all material information at the very onset and on an
ongoing basis. In the US, failure to disclose material information by
sellers of securities is classified as SECURITIES FRAUD.
2) A written guarantee that the marketer and regional center /
partnership officers will NOT engage in conflict of interest, and will
procure goods / services and hire employees in a transparent and competitive manner.
3) A written guarantee that they will fully refund an investor's fees in
case the investor's petition is rejected due to the fault of the
regional center.
4) A full disclosure of what is the amount of capital that the firm's
founders and investors have invested and what is the percentage of
ownership stake they will get.
EB-5 visa investors need to remember that Direct Investment Businesses
that choose blue chip franchises (such as BK, 5 Guys, KFC, etc.) wholly
owned and controlled by the EB-5 visa investor usually offer a safer,
faster and very profitable way to get the EB-5 visa, and those who opt
for regional centers or partnerships or third rate franchises will
usually end up with delayed processing, capital lossess and low (or no)
ROI caused due to extensive fraud, nepotism & conflict of interest,
terrible exit strategies and high rate of denial of I-829.
Our EB-5 investor clients who opted to start Direct Investment
Businesses in quality franchises such as 5 guys, KFC, McDonalds, etc. as
opposed to the bottom tier franchises such as Voodoo or Marcos offered
by our unscrupulous competitors, will find that they have the following
advantages:
1) Great annual profits, averaging 22% annually, and usually ranging from 20% to 30% annually.
2) Capital gains: Our recommended businesses usually appreciate while
Marcos pizza locations are usually sold for a massive capital loss. In
10 years, none of my clients have had a capital loss, and most investors
in regional centers have suffered full or partial capital loss.
3) Easy exit strategy: You will find more buyers for 5 guys / KFC
restaurants in comparison to Voodoo BBQ offered by Joe Sloboda or Marcos
Pizza.
4) Easy approval with USCIS and with banks: Bank underwriters are very
picky, and they won't approve Voodoo BBQ locations easily, but will
easily approve premium franchises such as 5 GUys / KFC / etc. because of
their track record and market reputation. USCIS will also easily
approve known and reputed brands with solid track records, while they
won't do so with our competitors.
5) Full disclosure of material facts: Unlike David Tashroudian or the
Voodoo promoters Joe Sloboda & Fred Burgess or Regional Center
promoters, we clearly and fully disclose material facts to our clients,
which is why we confidently offer written guarantees of full and clear
disclosure of material facts.
6) Fee refund guarantee: We know that we do a thorough job, and
therefore confidently guarantee our work, while our competitors refuse
to stand behind their work. This shows EB-5 visa investors who is a
professional and who is not.
If you're interested in getting your EB-5 visa in a quick, safe and usually profitable manner, please call us.
