EB-1c visas are safer, faster, and cheaper than EB-5 visas

#EB5 visa Investors can profitably get green cards in a safer, cheaper, and faster manner under the #EB-1c category by co-investing in reputed franchises such as #Pizzahut, #Quiznos etc.

Indian #EB-5 investors get temporary green cards after 9 years, and permanent green cards and their money back after 13 years. Indian investors get permanent green cards in 4 years and their money back in 5.5 years under the EB-1c category.

EB-1C investors can earn profits while getting their green cards due to profitability of reputed franchises, while EB5 visa investors pay to get their green cards!

The EB1C investment amount of USD 460-500,000 per petition + fees of $60,000 is cheaper than EB5 visa cost of $500,000 + $75000 in fees.

As Permanent Residents, investors, their spouses, and children below 21 can live, work, study, or do business in the US.

The US is the world's largest economy, and offers amazing opportunities that are unavailable elsewhere!

What's faster, safer, and cheaper than EB-5 visas?

The new proposed regulations that will come into effect on November 21st of this year, will essentially kill the EB-5 visa category and the regional center program.
But why will they die? The new USCIS regulations and the existing backlog make it impossible for regional centers to survive.
WHY? What are the problems that will cause the EB-5 visa program and regional centers to die?
First and foremost, the TEA amount goes up to $900,000. That in itself prices even the lower priced EB-5 visas out of the reach of more than 95% of investors who can easily get EU citizenship through Bulgaria for approximately that amount in less than the time it takes to get an EB-5 visa petition processed, and EU citizenship through Bulgaria offers investors the right to live, work, study, and do business throughout the EEA (EU, Switzerland, Norway, and Liechtenstein), AND also allows the investor to live and do business in the US under the E2 visa program.
Moreover, more than 95% of the current regional center projects will not fall within the new targeted employment area (TEA) rules that are changing with the new EB-5 visa regulations, due to which, the investment amount will be $1.8 million for most EB-5 visa investments in regional centers. Even if investors chose the safer Direct Investment route, they'd still be unable to qualify for most of the safer locations under the lower investment amount, and would need to invest $1,800,000 in a safer location in order to get a TEMPORARY green card in 30-45 months without risking a loss of capital, because investing in a genuine TEA area carries a significant risk of capital losses and operating losses.
If an investor were to consider only the safe, non-TEA locations, with a price tag of $1,800,000 for an EB-5 visa, more than 99% of investors would be unable to afford it, and will simply choose to invest $1,170,000 to get EU citizenship through Bulgaria in 2 years, instead of waiting 2.5 years to 4 years to get a TEMPORARY green card in the US through the EB-5 visa program.
Third, targeted employment areas (TEA's). New Regulations state that the USCIS will oversee the designation of targeted employment area projects, not the state the project is in. Currently if we look at the way they plan to establish the new TEA rules, more than 95% of the current projects that are selling under TEA rules will no longer be able to do so. This has to do with the word “contiguous”, as it relates to the TEA rules. With just one word change, the entire TEA system changes. Most will not qualify, and that means a few important things. To start with, Regional centers will have to redo all of their offering documents and provide an amended document to all of their prospective and current investors. Then, if an investor does not qualify under the new TEA rules, regional centers will have to resort to selling investments in their projects at $1.8 million instead of $900,000, and that WILL anyway kill their capital raise. And the change in a project’s status affect current investors if future EB-5 visa investment sourced funding dies.
Fourth, Congress has done nothing to clear up the current EB-5 visa backlog. There's no realistic possibility that Congress will address this problem and it's likely that the Regional Center program will anyway die on September 30th 2018. Nothing can be done to clear up the 17 year waiting period for Chinese investors or the 9 year waiting period for Indian investors.
EB-5 visa investors should remember that if a project falls outside of the guidelines of any of the aforementioned criteria, regional centers have to provide new documents to current and prospective investors as it is a material change that requires including a whole new section on risk factors, like the project may fall out of a TEA, and what that means to the project. Also, in offering documents, regional centers must include information that relates to the fact that a project may not fall within a targeted employment area at all, even under the new rules. 
How can EB-5 visa investors know if a project falls in a TEA? The answer to this question is actually quite simple. Less than 5% of existing projects are located in what would be a TEA under the new rules, so it may be a good idea to get a notarized affidavit from a Regional Center's CEO, CFO, and marketing agents to certify that a project will continue to qualify for the lower investment of USD 900,000 by virtue of being in a TEA, under the new EB-5 visa regulations.
With the massive backlog, coupled with the processing delays, higher investment amounts under the new EB5 visa regulations, EB-5 visa investors have to ask themselves, is it worth it to do EB-5? The answer is NO.
As it's really not worth it for investors to choose EB-5 visas, what's the alternative? If an investor has been operating a business outside the US for at least ONE year in the past 3 years, we can co-invest with them in a new business and help them get permanent green cards under the EB-1 visa category, in less than HALF the time it takes to get TEMPORARY green cards under the EB-5 visa category. Unlike the EB-5 visa investment amount of $900,000, investors can invest as little as $450,000 to get their green cards under the EB-1c visa category, and investors have a significantly lower risk of capital loss, as we anyway offer our investors a full right to audit the books of accounts. Unlike Regional centers, we offer a full fee refund guarantee if a client is denied due to our fault, and offer investors a guarantee of freedom from fraud.

EB-5 visa investors should be VERY careful about those who market EB-5 visas

Are #EB-5 visa marketers, immigration attorneys, and regional centers committing securities fraud by NOT clearly telling #EB5 visa investors of the new risks that come with investing in regional centers due to the new rules?

The new EB5 visa rules will not only increase minimum investment amounts to make EB5 visas unaffordable for most investors, they're also going to ensure that under the new TEA rules, most regional centers will fail as they'd require minimum investments of $1,800,000.

See https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/changes-eb-5-visa-regulations-cause-most-regional-centers-shaikh/ for details.

EB-1c visas are a safer, cheaper, faster, and more profitable alternative to EB5 visas, as it takes Indian investors ~9 years to get a temporary green card and ~14 years to get a permanent green card under the EB5 visa category and their money back, while Indian investors can easily get L1A visas in 3 months and permanent green cards in 4 years under the EB-1c visa category by co-investing with us in reputed franchise businesses or other qualified businesses.

We offer our investors higher returns and a full right to audit the books of accounts, AND also offer them a financial exit in 5.5 years.

Regional centers beg Congress to limit the increase in the minimum investment amount for EB-5 visas

USCIS regulations are slated to increase the minimum investment amount for EB-5 visas to USD 1.35 Million for TEAs and USD 1.8 Million for non-TEAs.

Regional Centers are begging lawmakers to limit the increase in minimum investment amount to only USD 800,000 for a TEA and USD 900,000 for other areas. More importantly, the USCIS is also planning to make dramatic changes to TEA designations that will seriously impact most regional centers.  See the IIUSA letter to Congress requesting Congress to limit the increase in minimum investment amount for EB-5 visas


It is a lot CHEAPER, Faster, and SAFER for investors to choose EB-1c visas instead of EB-5 visas for investment based immigration to the US. As it is, the backlog for Indian, Chinese, and Vietnamese EB-5 visa investors is so bad, that they now have to wait for 8.5, 16.5, and 17 years to get a temporary green card. See the latest backlog figures published by the US State Department.



EB-1c visas are safer, faster, and a lot cheaper than #EB5 visas. 

It takes Indian #EB-5 visa investors at least 8.5 years to get temporary green cards and over 13 years to get permanent green cards and their money back. Indian EB-1c visa investors get permanent green cards in 3-4 years and their money back in 5 years.

Our EB-1C program has a $0 NET COST as our 4% annual dividend ensures that investors actually end up getting PAID to get their green cards!

Our EB-1c visa investment amount of USD 440,000 + fees of $45,000 (for business owners who have at least a Bachelor's degree or higher) is a lot cheaper than EB-5 visa cost of $500,000 + legal + admin fees of $75,000.

With Permanent Resident status, investors, their spouses, and children below 21 get the right to live, work, study, or do business in the US.

What will be the impact of the proposed DHS changes to the EB-5 visa program?


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.


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.
