Re: Regional EB 5 Center with best perspective
We understand we will be essentially be buying Green Cards (5 in our case so it seems pretty cheap) and not to expect our money back, but it is really making sure we will get the conditions lifted. With the great Australian property boom the 500K is about half of the equity in our home so we do have a nice cushion, but it is still a big decision to make.
you have a two year condtional GC first.
good luck

Re: Regional EB 5 Center with best perspective
I am in a very similar situation as you are. Have equity on my home, 4 children and plannning to make the move. However, on checking on the south dakota theory , i researched it and found the following given below.
I would like to know how you are getting along and if you have come to any conclusion on the regional center. Look forward to some advice, info etc.
:
Following our blog yesterday concerning South Korean immigrants who invested in one of the programs in South Dakota we have received a number of requests to provide further information. Given the legal nature of this report we are limited as to any further information we can give at this stage but the matter does raise a number of important issues.
We would repeat that although rare, this is not the first issue to occur with allegations by EB-5 investors. We have covered other reports and we stress the importance of talking through such issues with us prior to making an EB-5 visa decision.
As we also covered yesterday there are options that have a 100% record of success for their clients – regional centers that have had conditions removed from temporary green cards (I-829) and who have returned funds.

It is a big risk but remember that ultimately you could lose your money and not get your conditions removed. As some one else said, you need to do your homework on a unprecedented scale. Its good to hear that your husband is flying out personally. The same can't be said for other prospective investors!

I am in a very similar situation , with 4 kids and similar equity. Would like to know how you are getting along and if you have made any progress and decided on a regional center. There is no way I can go to the US to check out the regional centers and will have to rely on the net and other sources of info. Would really appreciate your input . thanks

hi Ian
no, absolutely not, in fact i do have a B1 visa valid for the next 8 years. However, i need to come to some conclusion and narrow down the center. Its seems so confusing with all the information on hand, you dont know what to believe and what not to.

Re: Regional EB 5 Center with best perspective
Fair enough! Many people would suggest that the best way to come to a conclusion is to actually visit and see what's what... up close and personal. It's a lot of money to spend based only on what you read online.

thanks and appreciate your feedback. Yes, would have to plan a visit after narrowing down on a few. That too is a difficult decision. Would appreciate any piece of advice, info you may have to offer
thanks

Re: Regional EB 5 Center with best perspective
the Philadelphia one looks low risk and a reasonable candidate for a short-list.

Re: Regional EB 5 Center with best perspective
There is a thread running on Unlicensed Practice of Law.
Most of the issues that come up on this board on the legal aspects are fairly well known. But when it comes to the financial investments it seems a much more case of buyer beware. UPFA?
