There
are at least 5000 EB-5 visa investors who've pending petitions through Regional
Centers who will NOT get approved before the regional center program expires in
September 2015. These investors may actually have a strong case for securities
fraud against regional centers and their marketers (immigration agents,
lawyers, etc.) who have apparently failed to disclose the crucial facts that
there is a VERY HIGH chance that regional centers will be entirely eliminated
from the EB-5 visa program and that ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement),
which is the largest investigative law enforcement agency in the US, has
strongly recommended shutting down all regional centers. EB-5 visa investors should check with an experienced securities lawyer to see if they have grounds to sue.
WHY
do I say that regional centers will NOT be renewed again in 2015? What is the
basis of my prediction that in 2015, regional centers will be shut out of the
EB-5 visa program?
So
far in 2014, USCIS has terminated 53 regional centers from the EB-5 visa program
(see my previous post on this blog), and ICE (Immigration and Customs
Enforcement) - HSI (Homeland Security Investigations) has clearly recommended
shutting down ALL regional centers. (see link to the secret ICE memo that
CLEARLY recommends shutting down ALL regional centers at http://www.smartbusinessbroker.com/EB5_ICE_fraud_memo.pdf). In addition to ICE
stating in plain words that "The principal change proposed by HSI was that
the Regional Center Model be allowed to sunset, as HSI maintains there are no
safeguards that can be put in place that will ensure the integrity of the RC
Model.", several US Senators, including Senators Grassley and Coburn, are
lobbying to shut down regional centers, citing links of several regional
centers to family members of Democratic politicians such as Obama's brother (El
Monte), Hillary's brother (Gulf Coast), Terry McAuliffe (Gulf Coast), Harry
Reid's lobbyist son (SLS Casino), etc. as it is an easy way to kill 2 birds
with one stone: Appear tough on crime by actually cracking down on fraud, money
laundering, improper influence etc. AND sabotage the careers of political
opponents. SEC, ICE, USCIS, FBI and IRS are also lobbying behind the scenes to
shut down regional centers in addition to publicly carrying out investigations
and shutting down regional centers on a regular basis for fraud, money
laundering, etc. The last 2 attempts tried by lobbyists and IIUSA to pass a
bill to renew regional centers have not made progress in Congress, and it is
not expected that any future attempts will be successful either.
Going
per USCIS's past track record, it is possible that those EB-5 visa investors
who have filed EB-5 visa petition through regional centers WILL see their
petitions rejected if their petition is not adjudicated before the regional
center program expires. It may be a good idea to directly confirm this with
USCIS.
The
only safe and PERMANENT option in the EB-5 visa program is the Direct
Investment option, and we have been helping EB-5 visa investors obtain EB-5 visas
only under the Direct Investment category since 2004. We always place our
clients in Genuine Direct Investment Businesses, and do not recommend third
rate franchises such as Twistee Treat, Marco's Pizza, Voodoo BBQ, etc, to our
clients.
Immigrant
investors who own their own businesses overseas may also migrate to the US
under EB-1C visa, which offers a lot more flexibility and offers a permanent
green card in less than half the time taken under EB-5 visa process, with more
generous job creation criteria and no restrictions on location.
If
you'd like to get your EB-5 or EB-1C visa in a safe, quick and usually
profitable manner, please contact us. Our team offers a turnkey solution, and
we confidently offer a 100% fee refund guarantee in case a client's petition is
denied due to our fault.
