Recently,
the DHS published a list of proposed changes to the EB-5 visa program that will
significantly increase the investment amount to $1.35 Million for TEAs
(Targeted Employment Areas) and to $1.8 Million for general (Non-TEA)
areas.
Moreover,
the locations of TEAs will be significantly restricted, so the current
gerrymandering we see will essentially disappear as it would eliminate the
ability of states to designate areas as high-unemployment areas, as this would all be
done at the federal level in the future.
Most
importantly, under the proposed rule change, an investor in that project could
use money recouped for them through the sale of assets, settlements, or other
litigation, to reinvest in another qualified EB-5 project and not have go to
the back of the line to obtain their green card. This would allow EB-5
Investors to retain their place in the priority date line, if through no fault
of their own, their petition is denied if for instance, a regional center
is terminated, or if business conditions change that would result in an
loss-making or failing investment project. As it is, most regional centers ARE losing money because of the widespread
conflicts of interest embedded in their business model.

for more details.
This
means that potential EB-5 visa investors have little time left to sign up
before the Investment Amount increases and permanently puts a green card out of
the reach of most investors. This also means that due to the change in TEA
designations, most if not all, regional centers WILL go out of business, as
they will no longer be able to qualify their projects for the lower investment
amounts.
EB-5
visa investors who're interested in safely and profitably getting a green card
should always invest in a GENUINE Direct Investment Business.
For
EB-5 visa investors, the Direct Investment route is safe and easy, and the
minimum investment amount for Direct Investment is $500,000.
The
annual return on equity from regional centers is usually about 1% and the
chances of capital loss are very high due to the conflict of interest and
securities fraud, while annual the return on equity in direct investments usually
exceeds 10% and the chances of capital loss are low due to the absence of
conflict of interest and fraud.
In
contrast to the CEO's of regional
centers who routinely violate securities laws, commit securities fraud, and
engage in conflict of interest, we at Smart Business Broker, Inc. do not charge
junk fees or use the investment funds of EB-5 visa investors to pay illegal
commissions to unlicensed brokers. We have a strict policy of zero fraud and
conflict of interest, and actually offer this guarantee in writing to our
clients.
We
offer our EB-5 visa investor clients a written guarantee of full disclosure of
material facts, and have an open books policy, while regional center CEO's will usually refuse to offer this guarantee,
as they usually violate securities laws and engage in conflict of interest too.
EB-5
visa seekers should remember that Genuine Direct Investment businesses are THE
BEST option to get the EB-5 visa quickly, safely and usually profitably for the
following reasons:
1.
Faster processing and approval times.
2.
Easy exit strategy.
3.
Investors usually get a much higher Return on Investment.
4.
Investors usually get a much higher Capital gain, whereas regional center
investors usually get capital losses.
5.
Our clients have a 100% approval rate of I-526 and I-829, while those who
choose regional centers or other partnerships don't.
6.
Our clients have very little risk as we conduct extensive due diligence and
work hard to prevent fraud and conflict of interest, whereas regional centers
and partnerships are overrun with fraud and conflict of interest.
7.
Full control of business and capital, which helps prevent fraud, conflict of
interest and losses.
EB-5
visa investors need to remember that we offer THE BEST service when it comes to
offering a turnkey solution for the following reasons:
1.
Our EB-5 visa investors ALWAYS have control of their business and their money.
Those who choose regional centers and partnerships usually have to kiss their
money goodbye, and are STUCK for 5-9 years with no control over their money and
a very high risk of capital loss.
2.
We offer a written guarantee of freedom from fraud and conflict of interest,
whereas our competitors and regional centers don't offer this guarantee.
3.
We offer a written guarantee of FULL disclosure of material facts on an ongoing
basis, whereas our competitors and regional centers don't offer this guarantee.
4.
We offer a written guarantee of full fee refund in case a client is rejected
due to our team's fault, while our competitors and regional centers don't offer
this guarantee because they are incompetent and dishonest.
5.
Since 2004, our clients have NEVER been denied at the I-526 and I-829 stage,
and have NEVER suffered operating or capital losses, and have usually earned a
high Return on Equity because of our focus on due diligence and our extensive
efforts to reduce risk by preventing fraud and conflict of interest.
6.
We owe a fiduciary duty to our EB-5 visa investor clients, while those who sell
regional center and partnership securities usually don't owe fiduciary duties
to EB-5 visa investors. In plain words, we are required by law to put our
clients interests first, and we do so because it helps us more than it helps
our clients! We advise our clients diligently and help them make smart
decisions.
7.
We're the ONLY firm that actually encourages our clients to always stay in full
control of their business and their funds at every stage as this helps us
reduce the potential for fraud, embezzlement and litigation.
If
you're an EB-5 visa investor who wants to get their green card quickly, safely
and in a usually profitable manner, please contact us.
