EB-5 Financing

Do You Have EB-5 Financing in Your Toolkit?

The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program continues to offer significant opportunities. But, a flurry of litigation, more scrutiny by lawmakers, and an uptick in regulatory activity point to increased risks for EB-5 stakeholders. Whether you are a professional working with an EB-5 regional center, a developer borrowing EB-5 funds or starting your EB-5 deal, a senior lender, or a strategic institutional investor in a project funded through EB-5 financing, you need experienced counsel.

What is the EB-5 Program?

USCIS administers the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program which was created by Congress in 1990 to stimulate the US economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors. Under a pilot immigration program, first enacted in 1992 and regularly reauthorized by Congress, certain EB-5 visas are set aside for investors in Regional Centers designated by USCIS based on proposals for promoting economic growth. Foreign investors may secure permanent residence status through the EB-5 Program.
