I-956F project approval — why it matters for you
I-956F is USCIS's pre-vetting of the EB-5 project itself. Filing I-526E against an already-approved I-956F means much faster individual adjudication.
阅读更多Job creation: 10 jobs per investor
Each $800K investment must create 10 full-time jobs in the US economy. Regional Center projects use economic models to count indirect and induced jobs.
阅读更多EB-5 NCE Manager: What to Look For
The NCE Manager holds your $800K and decides how it deploys, gets monitored, and (eventually) returns. NCE Manager quality matters more than Regional Center brand.
阅读更多EB-5 Capital Stack: Senior Loan vs Mezzanine vs Equity
EB-5 capital is deployed into the project as senior loan (first claim), mezzanine debt (second), or equity (last). Recovery in distress follows your structural position.
阅读更多EB-5 Completion Guarantee + Maximum Cost Guarantee
A Completion Guarantee binds the developer to finish despite overruns. A Maximum Cost Guarantee caps additional capital calls. Both protect EB-5 from construction risk.
阅读更多EB-5 UCC-1 Filing: Senior Loan Perfection Explained
A UCC-1 financing statement perfects a lender's security interest in pledged collateral. For EB-5 senior loans, UCC-1 perfection makes the senior claim truly enforceable.
阅读更多EB-5 Exit Strategy: Unit Sales vs Refinance vs Operational Cash Flow
EB-5 capital can be repaid via individual unit sales (residential for-sale), whole-asset refinancing or sale (hospitality, commercial), or operating cash flow (multi-family rental, operating hospitality). Each carries fundamentally different timing and macroeconomic risk.
阅读更多EB-5 Success Rate: Statistics and What Drives Them
EB-5 I-526E approval rates run 80-90%+ at strong Regional Centers; I-829 approval rates similar. Denials cluster on incomplete source-of-funds documentation and projects that under-deliver on job creation. Project + attorney choice are the controllable variables.
阅读更多Is EB-5 Worth It in 2026? A Frank Cost-Benefit Analysis
EB-5 in 2026 is worth it for investors who need a US green card, have $800K in lawfully-sourced funds available, and can wait 3-5+ years for capital repayment. For investors who don't need a green card or can't lock up $800K, the answer is no.
阅读更多EB-5 Fund Administrator Requirement (RIA Integrity Measure)
RIA 2022 requires every EB-5 NCE to engage an independent third-party fund administrator OR submit to annual audits. The fund administrator monitors capital movements, investor reporting, and compliance — a structural protection against the historical EB-5 fraud cases that triggered RIA.
阅读更多EB-5 Escrow Explained: When Your $800K Is Released
EB-5 escrow is a third-party-held account where the investor's $800K sits between subscription and project deployment. Release triggers vary: some projects release at I-526E filing, some at I-526E approval, some at I-485 filing. Read the escrow agreement carefully.
阅读更多USCIS EB-5 Regional Center List: How to Use It in 2026
USCIS publishes the official list of approved Regional Centers at uscis.gov. The list shows which entities hold the USCIS license to pool EB-5 capital — but it doesn't rank projects, NCE Managers, or recent performance. Use the list as a baseline check, not a project rating.
