Regional Centers are busy lobbying Congress to get an extension in the EB-5 visa program, while failing to realize that the SEC will shut them down!

I just read an article (see link http://www.wsj.com/articles/sec-escalates-financial-penalties-1436804327) that detailed how the SEC is acting quite aggressively against those who violate securities laws. It is common knowledge that regional centers usually violate securities laws AND commit securities fraud, which is why it is quite likely that even if regional centers do manage to get an extension through S. 1501, they will have to worry about the SEC BEFORE they have to worry about the proposed new restrictions that will be imposed on regional centers from October (assuming S 1501 actually passes).

EB-5 visa investors need to remember that the ONLY safe way to get a permanent green card in the EB-5 visa category is by investing in Genuine Direct Investment Businesses. At present, there is very little chance of either of the regional center extension bills being written into law due to stiff Congressional opposition.

Some of the important reasons that EB-5 visa investors should ALWAYS choose Genuine Direct Investment Businesses and avoid regional centers are:

1.    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.

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 see 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 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. 

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.

Will a Miami based sky highrise come crashing to the ground as USCIS + SEC look all set investigate it for securities fraud against EB-5 visa investors?

Apparently a Miami based project was a little too optimistic in their visitor and job creation projections AND may not have been entirely candid with their EB-5 visa investors. It seems that the EB-5 visa investors who choose to invest in regional centers still didn't understand that most (if not ALL) regional centers illegally offer securities AND fail to fully disclose all material facts to their investors (which is termed as securities fraud in the US).
