Regional centers apprehensively await the results of the mid-term elections as Senator Grassley is expected to lead the Senate Judiciary Committee & widen the crackdown on fraud by regional centers.

Republicans look all set to go ahead and win the mid-term elections (see link http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2808824/Republicans-poised-Senate-new-polls-lead-crucial-states-approval-Democrats-Congress-hits-20-year-low.html), and it is expected that a long term foe of regional centers will now have more power to permanently shut them down.

The SEC and USCIS have been advising EB-5 visa investors to avoid regional centers due to rampant fraud and money laundering. (See memo at http://www.sec.gov/investor/alerts/ia_immigrant.htm)

Even ICE has recommended closing ALL regional centers due to fraud and money laundering. (See memo at http://www.smartbusinessbroker.com/EB5_ICE_fraud_memo.pdf)

As Democrats look all set to lose control of the House and Senate to Republicans, regional center promoters and marketers are wondering how to deal with the deluge of denials that are facing EB-5 visa investors as more regional centers get targeted for closure.

What does Republican control of the House and Senate mean for the EB-5 visa program?
Republican politicians are anyway more sympathetic to the concerns of government agencies (such as ICE, USCIS, FBI, SEC, IRS, etc.) who've voiced serious concerns about the fraud, money laundering etc. seen with regional centers. and when these concerns are aligned with a chance to link relatives of prominent politicians to securities fraud, money laundering, perjury, conspiracy etc., it is expected that we shall see a lot more regional centers being shut down, and several thousand EB-5 visa applicants being denied.

HOW can EB-5 visa investors avoid this certain wave of EB-5 visa denials and regional center shutdowns?
The ONLY certain way for EB-5 visa investors to avoid this upcoming wave of I-526 and I-829 denials and regional center shutdowns is to invest in Genuine Direct Investment Businesses.

What are some things to watch out for?

a) Is the promoter / marketer being paid to market this franchise to an EB-5 visa investor? If the answer is YES, then it is probably not a Genuine Direct Investment Business. Some examples are Marcos Pizza, Voodoo BBQ (Joe Sloboda and Fred Burgess seem to be master franchisors), Twistee Treat, Carl's Jr. (David Tashroudian), E3 Investment Group, etc.

b) Is the marketer and CEO of the business willing to offer a written guarantee of freedom from conflict of interest and full disclosure of material facts?
In case the answer is no, then the investment is VERY risky and should be avoided.

c) Do they offer a fee refund guarantee in case the investor is denied?
Professionals are always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that they offer the best service to their clients. This is why we confidently offer a fee refund guarantee in case our client is denied due to our fault. Our competitors don't offer this guarantee at all.

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

EB-5 visa investors who choose Genuine Direct Investment Businesses usually earn annual ROI of 15% to 40%, while regional centers usually offer 0-2% annual ROI.

Genuine Direct Investment Businesses offer easy exit strategies to EB-5 visa investors while regional centers offer TERRIBLE exit strategies.

Regional Centers usually commit securities fraud and securities law violations while this is rare in Genuine Direct Investment Businesses.

EB-5 visa investors usually get capital gains if they invest in a Genuine Direct Investment Business and usually don't get capital gains if they invest in a regional center.

EB-5 visa investors in Genuine Direct Investment Businesses see faster processing and approval of their petitions compared to regional centers.

EB-5 visa investors in Genuine Direct Investment Businesses have a higher chance of getting their permanent 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. An even faster and easier way to get a PERMANENT green card is to apply for the L1A visa and then the EB-1C visa.

One more article on the shady characters who conspire to help defraud EB-5 visa investors. Genuine Direct Investment Businesses are the ONLY choice for EB-5 visa and EB-1C visa investors.

I just read an article that did a lot to expose one of the individuals who've helped defraud thousands of EB-5 visa investors. See the article at http://fortune.com/2014/10/14/eb-5tangled-past/ to understand why EB-5 visa investors need to avoid shady crooks.

Please remember that "It is HARD to earn money and easy to BURN money."
Here are some of the reasons that EB-5 visa investors should ALWAYS choose Genuine Direct Investment Businesses:
Regional Center CEO's and CFO's will always refuse to 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.

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.

Genuine Direct Investment Businesses offer easy exit strategies to EB-5 visa investors while those who invest in regional centers experience TERRIBLE exit strategies.

Regional Centers usually commit securities fraud and securities law violations while this is usually unheard of in Genuine Direct Investment Businesses.

EB-5 visa investors usually get capital gains if they invest in a Genuine Direct Investment Business and usually don't get capital gains if they invest in a regional center.

EB-5 visa investors in Genuine Direct Investment Businesses see faster processing and approval of their petitions, while it takes much longer to get an immigrant visa through regional centers.

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. An even faster and easier way to get a PERMANENT green card is to apply for the L1A visa and then the EB-1C visa.

Just WHY does the SEC advise EB-5 visa investors to avoid regional centers? WHY are Genuine Direct Investment Businesses the ONLY option for EB-5 and EB-1C visa investors?

Everyone should remember that it is HARD to earn money and easy to burn money.

Most, if not ALL, regional centers commit securities fraud, which is why the SEC strongly advises EB-5 visa investors to avoid regional centers. Securities fraud is so rampant amongst regional centers that 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.

What are some common material facts that regional centers usually conceal from EB-5 visa investors?

Some of the material facts that regional centers don't disclose to EB-5 visa investors is that they illegally market and sell securities overseas. Other facts that regional centers and unscrupulous direct investments such as those offered by E3 Investment Group or Joe Sloboda's Voodoo BBQ and Twistee treat don't disclose is that they have significant conflict of interest embedded in their offerings structures, which causes capital losses and places the EB-5 visa investor at a strong disadvantage. Regional Centers also don't disclose the fact that not only the SEC but also ICE has strongly recommended that regional centers be avoided by EB-5 visa investors due to serious concerns about fraud and money laundering. See link at http://www.smartbusinessbroker.com/EB5_ICE_fraud_memo.pdf to learn more. 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.

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:

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. 

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.

Genuine Direct Investment Businesses offer easy exit strategies to EB-5 visa investors while those who invest in regional centers experience TERRIBLE exit strategies.

Regional Centers usually commit securities fraud and securities law violations while this is usually unheard of in Genuine Direct Investment Businesses.

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.

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. 

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. An even faster and easier way to get a PERMANENT green card is to apply for the L1A visa and then the EB-1C visa.
