Financing by EB-5 Investor

The New York City Real Estate Regional Center is approved by the USCIS to recruit immigrant investors who want to participate in EB-5 Program. The license is effective as of April 3, 2012. The amended license was approved on October 31, 2017 along with the pre-approval of the Operr Project. Currently, NYCRERC has a 100% approval rate of all filed I-526 and I-829 petitions.

Why Our Regional Center?

NYCRERC's proven EB-5 track record and years of experience make us a reliable partner for those willing to immigrate to the United States. We only develop our own projects which allows for better control over the investment and job creation process. We vet our partners/vendors carefully and are committed to create economically feasible, financially sound, and transparent EB-5 investment projects that can be successfully funded by eligible foreign investors, who will achieve successful immigration outcomes.

Since the inception, we have delivered on our promises to EB-5 investors by running a successful project in New York that met the immigration requirements of the EB-5 program and allowed investors to receive their green cards in expedited manner (sooner than investors affiliated with other EB-5 regional centers).

Regional Center Benefits

Vetted Investors

Because the Regional Center has a practice of pre-screening the lawful source of investment funds of potential investors, we maintain a 100% USCIS approval rate of I-526 investor petitions.

Innovative Projects

Our project involve the development and commercialization of transportation related software. In addition to software, the project also includes the purchase and operation of up to two parking facilities.

Full Compliance

To date, all components of our EB-5 businesses are fully operational and are creating revenue sufficient to repay all EB-5 loans in a timely manner. The Regional Center is in compliance with all USCIS requirements.

Job Creation

To date, the project has created the minimum of 10 direct jobs for all our approved investors. One of our projects currently employs over 100 employees without assistance from the federal government.

Win-Win Partnerships

The NYCRERC has seen much success and has kept up with the job creation policies for the EB-5 program and continues to stimulate the economy by assisting current and potential investors.

Populous Location

The data released by the New York City Tourism Bureau indicates that the number of tourists in NYC reached 50 million people in 2011. This guarantees excellent market prospects for car service industry.

Summary of Policy Changes

The U.S. investment immigration EB-5 regional center program was reauthorized and there is no waiting time for certain categories of EB-5 visa!

It was established by the U.S. government to attract foreign investment to create job opportunities and stimulate U.S. economic growth. The EB-5 program has a total quota of 10,000 visas each year, aiming to encourage foreign investors to obtain US green cards through investment.

There are two ways to make an EB-5 Investment:

One is through the project affiliated with one of the EB-5 Regional Centers. Investors do not need to actively manage the project they invest in, but need to contribute the capital which will create at least 10 qualifying jobs to obtain a green card.

The second is a direct investment. Investors need to invest in and manage a new business entity that can directly create at least 10 jobs to obtain a green card.

Immigration Process Summary

File the EB-5 Investor Suitability Evaluation Form.
Hire an Attorney to Represent the EB-5 Petitioner.
Sign the EB-5 Investor Contract with the Regional Center.
Transfer and validate the legality of the investment.
Submit I-526E Petition and wait for approval.
Apply for an immigrant visa if outside the U.S. or file I-485 if in the U.S.
Receive Conditional Green Card.
Conditions removed after I-829 approval.

Additionally, there is a possibility of adjustment of status with the concurrent filing with I-5126E petition which is a great advantage for those investors who are already in the United States on different types of visas. While filing for adjustment does not provide any status, it does allow for the Employment Authorization Document ("EAD") to be issued along with a travel document (advanced parole).

EB-5 Costs

$800,000.00 - Investment amount for EB-5 program.
$80,000.00 - Regional Center Administration Fee.
$20,000.00 - Attorney fees for filing I-526E Application.

(Attorney fees may vary depending on whether our in-house counsel or your own personal attorney is retained.)

Investment Amounts

$1,050,000 - EB-5 General non-regional center project investment amount.
$800,000 - EB-5 Targeted Employment Area project investment amount.

In order to improve the timing of green card adjudication, USCIS has established a more efficient process for the EB-5 program:
Investors can submit I-526E and I-485 at the same time but the conversion of status will happen after I-526E is approved. But while pending, investors can legally work in the U.S. and travel outside of the country.

Investor Eligibility

All EB-5 investors MUST submit the Suitability Evaluation Form in order to apply for the petition. Questions include but are not limited to the following:

Was your annual income in each of the last two years at least U.S. $200,000, or
Do you reasonably expect your income for this year to be at least U.S. $200,000, or
Was your joint annual income with your spouse (or spousal equivalent) in each of the last two years at least U.S. $300,000, or
Is your net worth, including all assets belonging to you and your spouse, at least U.S. $1 Million (not counting the value of your primary residence).
