Regional Center EB-5 Visa Investment Program
The EB-5 Visa for Immigrant Investors is a United States visa program created by the Immigration Act of 1990. This visa provides a method of obtaining a green card(s) for foreign nationals who invest money in the United States for economic growth and community development.
DoH Regional Center is defined as a nonprofit community economic incubator, which is involved with the economic growth, community development, improved infrastructure, educational opportunities, and job creation, through increased domestic foregin capital investment.
In more simple terms, a Regional Center is an area designated by the USCIS as eligible to receive immigrant investment capital for the purposes of community development and more specifically job creation.
The Regional Center obtains its designation by submitting a detailed application to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The organizers of a regional center seeking the regional center designation from USCIS must submit a proposal showing:
- How the regional center plans to focus on a geographical region within the U.S., and must explain how the regional center will achieve the required economic growth within this regional area
- That the regional center’s business plan(s) can be relied upon as a viable business model grounded in reasonable and credible estimates and assumptions for market conditions, project costs, and activity timelines
- How in verifiable detail (using economic models in some instances) jobs will be created directly or indirectly through capital investments made in accordance with the regional center’s business plan
- The amount and source of capital committed to the project(s) and the marketing efforts made and planned for the business project.
