Get due diligence on any EB-5 investment.

An EB-5 investment should be evaluated on its ability to meet immigration requirements, and its ability to repay investors in a timely manner with minimal risk.

This starts with a thorough review of all relevant documents, and verification of all being claims made. Next, evaluate the business model and the people charged with executing it.

Lastly, it's important to compare the terms of the investment with the rest of the market.

The 4 steps of EB-5

EB-5 is fundamentally an economic development program, with permanent U.S. residency (Green Cards) offered as an incentive to encourage wealthy individuals to invest a minimum of $500,000 into a new commercial enterprise, and create 10 new jobs for Americans.

1 Choose an appropriate EB-5 investment

Third-party due diligence helps ensure that the investment you select is highly likely to meet the immigration program requirements and to return your capital in full.

2 File Form I-526

After making an investment, you will file Form I-526 with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), typically with the help of an immigration lawyer experienced in EB-5.

Your petition will demonstrate your lawful source of funds, and a business plan that meets program requirements.

3 Receive conditional Green Cards

Once your I-526 petition is approved, if you are already in the U.S., you'll file Form I-485 to adjust your status. If you are outside the U.S., you will file Form DS-260.

Upon approval of either petition, you and your family become conditional permanent U.S. residents for the next two years.

4 Remove Green Card conditions

One year and nine months into conditional permanent residency, you'll submit Form I-829, showing evidence that your investment created the 10 full-time U.S. jobs required, proof that your investment was sustained “at-risk”, and that no material changes to the EB-5 project occurred.

Once this is approved, your conditions are removed and your family become permanent U.S. residents.

“Our work with EB5 Diligence has been great. They asked all the right questions and knew exactly what they were looking for. The turn-around time on the report was quick, and we were given the opportunity to provide more documentation on certain aspects. The report was very fair and balanced.”

Brian Ostar | President, EB5 Capital, regional center

“Professional, insightful and helpful. It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Rupy at EB5 Diligence. The due diligence report was thorough and allowed me to make a well-informed decision regarding a potential EB-5 project that I was considering. I would recommend the services of EB5 Diligence to any potential, discerning EB5 investor who is willing to part with their investment capital prior to doing so. Thank you, Rupy!”

Mitan Nana | EB-5 investor, South Africa

“I contacted the team at EB5 Diligence when we were under a time deadline to file an EB-5 petition. They spent the time to review various investment options one of which was eventually selected by our client. This process allowed me and my co-counsel to focus on the legal issues relating to the EB-5 process while EB5 Diligence was advising the client on project selection. I have no hesitation in recommending them to others.”
