The question EB-5 visa investors need to ask is, WHY does IIUSA NOT support requiring certification of securities law compliance by regional centers, and yet on the same page claim to support strong enforcement of US Securities law, and not overseas securities laws? The reason is simple: Regional centers usually violate securities laws OVERSEAS and commit securities fraud overseas, due to which regional center owners and executives will usually REFUSE to offer a sworn affidavit that they haven't violated securities laws overseas or committed securities fraud overseas.
EB-5
visa investors need to remember that the ONLY safe way to get approved
is through Genuine Direct Investment Businesses. Considering the fact
that legislation is gridlocked in D.C. and due to existing and upcoming scandals as well as opposition by Jeh Johnson (head of the DHS), ICE-HSI and dozens of law enforcement agents, it is the opinion of legislative analysts that there is now NO chance of the Regional Centers being extended in the EB-5 visa program (see link at https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/114/hr616).
Since 2012, ICE has officially recommended banning regional centers from the EB-5 visa program and actually said "there can be no safeguards that can be put in place that will ensure the integrity of the regional center model." See link at http://www.smartbusinessbroker.com/EB5_ICE_fraud_memo.pdf, and also see the Congressional debate at https://www.congress.gov/congressional-record/2013/12/19/senate-section/article/s9001-2 Even the SEC warns EB-5 visa investors to avoid regional centers.

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 Voodoo BBQ 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 usually 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.
