Who needs EB-5 visa when investors can get their green cards faster and safer under L1A + EB-1C or direct EB-1C category?

We are now offering investors the option of simply doing L1A + EB-1C  or directly applying for EB-1C visas to get their visas a lot faster compared to applying for EB-5 visas.

The obvious advantages are as follows:

1. The investor immigrant can invest the same $500,000 but faces no restrictions on location (no TEA requirement), no job creation requirements and of course zero risk of fraud and conflict of interest which is so commonly found in regional centers, as the investor fully owns and controls the business that will sponsor the investor's L1A visa + green card under EB-1C category. 
2. The other advantage is that investors get a permanent green card in hand in about the same time they would only get a TEMPORARY green card under EB-5 visa scheme. As such, the entire reason for even choosing EB-5 visa as an option is moot. 
3. The investor always retains full ownership and control of their funds and their business, so there is no question of fraud or loss of control, as are commonly found in regional centers.
4. The approval time for an L1A visa is approximately 3-6 weeks (if Premium Processing option is used), and the EB-1C visa takes about 8 months to process, at the end of which the investor gets a permanent green card.

EB-5 visa investors who invest in Direct Investment Businesses actually see 100% of their money go into their business, while in regional centers, less than 70% of the capital goes in the business.

I just read an article about how less than 80% of an investor's capital is actually invested in the business by regional centers, whereas 100% of an investor's capital is invested in the business if an investor chooses to invest in a Genuine Direct Investment Business. See the link at http://fortune.com/2014/07/24/immigration-eb-5-visa-for-sale/

What does this mean? How does it affect an EB-5 visa investor?

Simply put, it means that right away, only 80% or less of an investor's money is invested in the business if an investor chooses to make the mistake of investing in a regional center, with at least 20% going to an immigration agent's pockets. Due to this, there is less capital invested in the business, resulting in operating losses, capital losses and denials of green card petitions.

In contrast, the entire amount of the EB-5 visa investor's capital is invested in a Genuine Direct Investment Business, due to which it is usually a lot easier to not only earn profits but also to get the green card quickly and safely, as there is no fraud or conflict of interest.

A regional center's CEO & CFO will usually refuse to offer EB-5 visa investors the following 2 guarantees:
1) Guarantee of freedom from fraud and conflict of interest,
2) Guarantee of full disclosure of material facts.

Just recently, the Wyoming Secretary of state issued a warning advising EB-5 visa investors to be careful about scams. See http://soswy.state.wy.us/Investing/InvestorTraps.aspx#EB-5 Investment-for-Visa Schemes

Even ICE recommended shutting down ALL regional centers due to rampant fraud and conflict of interest. Regional Center marketers and promoters usually don't disclose the material fact that regional center petitions take far longer to process compared to Direct Investment petitions.

Please remember that "It is HARD to earn money and easy to BURN money."

As it is, many EB-5 visa investors now understand that Genuine Direct investment businesses are the safest option in every single aspect. Here are some of the critical reasons that EB-5 visa investors should ALWAYS choose Genuine Direct Investment Businesses and avoid regional centers:

1. EB-5 visa investors will not find even ONE regional center whose CEO and CFO can honestly certify that they disclose ALL material facts to their investors and don't engage in fraud or conflict of interest. In a Genuine Direct Investment Business, it is quite unusual to encounter fraud or conflict of interest. This alone is THE biggest reason why EB-5 visa investors usually experience capital loss if they opt for regional centers or unsafe Direct Investments (such as Twistee Treats or Voodoo or Marcos Pizza), while those who opt for Genuine Direct Investment Businesses usually NEVER experience capital loss. 
2. EB-5 visa investors who choose Genuine Direct Investment Businesses usually earn annual ROI of 15% to 40%, while those who select regional centers usually earn 0-2% annual ROI.
3. Genuine Direct Investment Businesses offer easy exit strategies to EB-5 visa investors while those who invest in regional centers experience TERRIBLE exit strategies.
4. Regional Centers usually commit securities fraud and securities law violations while this is usually unheard of in Genuine Direct Investment Businesses.
5. EB-5 visa investors usually get capital gains if they invest in a Genuine Direct Investment Business and almost NEVER get capital gains if they invest in a regional center.
6. EB-5 visa investors in Genuine Direct Investment Businesses see faster processing and approval of their petitions, while it takes much longer for EB-5 visa investors to get their immigrant visa through regional centers. 
7. EB-5 visa investors in Genuine Direct Investment Businesses have a higher chance of getting their permanent green card, while those who opt for regional centers have a lower chance of getting their green card.

The ONLY safe, fast and usually profitable way to get an EB-5 visa is through investment in a GENUINE Direct Investment Business.

Dan Redford (a regional center employee) hopes that regional centers are extended, while ICE, SEC and other government agencies believe they should be shut down.

I read an article (see link http://english.caixin.com/2014-07-15/100704312.html) where Mr. Redford of Civitas argues that Congress should extend the law allowing regional centers to operate. What Mr. Redford doesn't mention is that pretty much every single regional center CEO & CFO will refuse to offer EB-5 visa investors the following 2 guarantees:

1) Guarantee of freedom from fraud and conflict of interest,
2) Guarantee of full disclosure of material facts.

Just recently, the Wyoming Secretary of state issued a warning advising EB-5 visa investors to be careful about scams. See http://soswy.state.wy.us/Investing/InvestorTraps.aspx#EB-5 Investment-for-Visa Schemes

Mr. Redford does not even disclose the fact that ICE itself recommends shutting down ALL regional centers due to rampant fraud and conflict of interest. He also does not disclose the material fact that regional center petitions take far longer to process compared to Direct Investment petitions.

Should EB-5 visa investors in Genuine Direct Investment Businesses pay high taxes if they can use smart tax planners to significantly slash their tax liabilities?

EB-5 visa investors who choose Genuine Direct Investment Businesses usually see substantial profits, and then arises the question that everyone has to eventually answer: Do I give my money to the government or do I use my money to benefit my family?

As the link below shows, it is not hard to use legal mechanisms to reduce effective taxes to a negligible amount. It is common knowledge that even major companies such as Google, Apple, GE, Boeing, etc. pay only a small fraction of their earnings in taxes, while those business owners who aren't good planners usually end up paying 20-45% of their net profits in taxes.

EB-5 visa investors should remember that "It is HARD to earn money and easy to BURN money."

As it is, many EB-5 visa investors now understand that Genuine Direct investment businesses are the safest option in every single aspect. Here are some of the critical reasons that EB-5 visa investors should ALWAYS choose Genuine Direct Investment Businesses:

Even billionaires such as Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Sheldon Adelson are complaining about the rampant fraud in the EB-5 visa program! EB-5 visa investors should only invest in Genuine Direct Investment Businesses.

I read an article published recently by the NY Times (see Link Business leaders call for end to fraud in EB-5 visa program) that shows that even business leaders are disgusted by the rampant fraud perpetrated in the EB-5 visa program by regional centers. In their exact words, they said "We also believe that America’s self-interest should be reflected in our immigration policy. For example, the EB-5 “immigrant investor program,” created by Congress in 1990, was intended to allow a limited number of foreigners with financial resources or unique abilities to move to our country, bringing with them substantial and enduring purchasing power. Reports of fraud have surfaced with this program, and we believe it should be reformed to prevent abuse but also expanded to become more effective." 

When even reputed businessmen are joining ICE in demanding that the rampant fraud be stopped, it is time for EB-5 visa investors to understand that there is a reason why Senators, ICE (See link to the secret ICE memo recommending that ALL regional centers should be shut down to prevent fraud at http://www.smartbusinessbroker.com/EB5_ICE_fraud_memo.pdf) and SEC are warning EB-5 visa investors about regional centers. In contrast, it is almost impossible to be defrauded when it comes to Genuine Direct Investments, and the following reasons demonstrate the undeniable advantages Genuine Direct Investment Businesses offer over regional centers. 

As a matter of fact, in EVERY single objective comparison, Genuine Direct Investment Businesses turn out to be the better choice for EB-5 visa investors.

Here are some of the critical reasons that EB-5 visa investors should ALWAYS choose Genuine Direct Investment Businesses:

1. EB-5 visa investors will not come across even ONE regional center whose CEO and CFO can honestly certify that they disclose ALL material facts to their investors and don't engage in fraud or conflict of interest.

7. EB-5 visa investors in Genuine Direct Investment Businesses have a significantly higher chance of getting their permanent green card, while those who opt for regional centers have a significantly lower chance of getting their green card.

Chinese EB-5 visa investments set to decline sharply as Chinese regional center marketers are expected to face arrest and possible execution for money laundering and tax evasion.

I just read an article about Chinese Investors to face more difficulty in moving money. This is not surprising as even the USCIS is now scrutinizing source of funds and now the Chinese government is said to have begun a crackdown after reports of massive money laundering and tax evasion were said to have been received by the SAFE (State Administration for Foreign Exchange) and SAT (State Administration of Taxation) from unnamed US sources (see link http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/07/12/business/international/chinas-central-bank-investigating-report-of-money-laundering.html ), due to which the government has not only started to crack down sharply on the money laundering and illegal money transfers by regional centers, but is also expected to arrest and possibly execute some regional center marketers and executives in China for aiding and abetting money laundering and tax evasion.

Similar reports and suggestions were made by unknown US sources to the USCIS, SEC and IRS (see link http://www.uscisconnect.ideascale.com/a/ideafactory.do?mode=top&tag=eb-5 ), due to which it is expected that in the next 6 months, most regional centers and their businesses ( also known as projects ) will fail due to regulatory action on both sides of the Pacific.

As a matter of fact, in EVERY single objective comparison, Genuine Direct Investment Businesses turn out to be the better choice for EB-5 visa investors.

Here are some of the critical reasons that EB-5 visa investors should ALWAYS choose Genuine Direct Investment Businesses:

Can EB-5 visa investors trust regional centers or those who claim that regional centers are secure? An Objective comparison proves EB-5 visa investors should only select Genuine Direct Investment Businesses!

I saw a recent article by Gregory Finkelson (see link https://www.linkedin.com/today/post/article/20140423174703-44436547-eb-5-direct-investment-or-indirect-regional-center-investment-which-is-better?trk=mp-details-rc ), who has misled EB-5 visa investors by claiming that "While the process is slower, it (Regional Center) is arguably more secure and has several immediately distinct advantages, not the least of which is that an RC can obtain pre-approval of proposed projects."

To this, I would say, Mr. Gregory Finkelson is ling when he claims that regional centers are more secure than Direct Investment Businesses. As a matter of fact, in EVERY single objective comparison, Genuine Direct Investment Businesses turn out to be the better choice for EB-5 visa investors.

Here are some of the critical reasons that EB-5 visa investors should ALWAYS choose Genuine Direct Investment Businesses:
