Dear Friends,

Current visa:
Currently I have B2 visa, and frequently traveling to the US for business

Background:
l1 application denied in Feb 2011 (took about 7-8 months to review for deinal).

Current situation:
considering EB-5 to shift family(me, wife and 2 kids (avg age 5yrs)) into US.


Following concerns:

Projects considering for EB-5:
Considering jay peak and american life as serious options to invest (confused which one is better)

Visa Queries:
- Does it matter if L1 is denied while applying for EB-5
- which lawyer to hire to get all the paper work done and make it simple for me (L1 was a very messy thing, because my attorney was not good)
- How much is current average processing time for EB-5 (I-526)
- How much time it takes while applying for permenant GC after 2 years and how much does it cost?
- If my mother gifts me all the money (for investment), does it work as investment (mom has earned it from business)
- What are the detailed list of documents required (if anyone knows)
- What happens if permenant GC is denied (go back to india?)


Inventment Queries:
- If I decide to exit after getting permenant GC, is it safe to think I will atleast get all $500k back (or should I just forget about all the money)
- How much time it takes to exit and how much does it cost?
- Has anyone ever exited out of any of these two schemes after getting permenant GC?
- Do I need to hire my own attorney for applying for visa, or just rely on jaypeak lawyers (they say we can rely on them)

Thanks in advance for all the response. I think I was clear in what I want to ask. Although it is a huge step for my family, I want to make sure I can give them as much peace of mind as possible.

Best Regards,
Sawan
 
Sawan,
You might want to contact CAISC. They are doing EB-5 only and look like they are setting up real businesses in California.Met them here in Singapore ( they are in China as well) and they look the real deal. The guy I met is Mike ( mikehorner@caisc.org). He is based in Singapore. Tel +65 6849 5402.
Good Luck. Ravi
 
USCIS has actually gone on record that 95% or more of EB-5 investments are through a Regional Center. The advantage to a Regional Center affiliated investment is the inclusion of "indirect jobs" where you don't have to have actual employees on the books as direct employees.

The number of RC's has grown greatly in a short time. Many have no track record, even the ones that have been around for more time may not be a sure thing. Concentrate on the validity of the investment being proposed. Choosing a solid investment project is the most important factor.

Immigration as the immediate relative of a USC is the fastest way to get a green card, but if you had that as an option you would not be asking about EB-5.

The "gift" is acceptable but then the mother's documentation as to the lawful source of funds is required. The cost is greater than merely the amount used for the actual investment. There are lawyers fee, filing fees, processing fees charged by the RC [to cover costs associated with getting USCIS approval and the professional business plan(s) and economic analyses, as well as overall recordkeeping and reporting requirements] and don't forget relocation expenses.

In addition, each of you (spouse and minor unmarried children) must be "otherwise eligible" for an immigrant visa.

Always check with the source, USCIS, at: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/us...nnel=facb83453d4a3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60aRCRD
 
I'm a Licensed Real estate Broker and can help investors invest in new or existing businesses to qualify for the EB-5. I've already helped 29 clients successfully obtain the investor immigrant visas so far, and can supply references if needed. My name is Mohammed Shaikh and my mobile number is +1 407 535 0616. My broker license can be verified with the CA Department of Real Estate and my license number is 01406774

I've been a RE broker for over 7 years and have not had any complaints simply because I'm discreet and competent and avoid breaking the law to begin with. By law, a broker is required to hold client accounts separately in an escrow account, so there is no chance a broker will ever attempt to misappropriate your money as the penalty is mandatory prison sentence of 2-5 years.

As long as you do not have a criminal record and have at least a bachelors degree and are fluent in English, I can guarantee that you will get an investor visa, as I work with immigration attorneys who are experienced in investment based immigration. Investment is USD 1 million or above and your average extra costs amount to about $56,000. Approval time is 8-14 months, with an average of 10 months.

Interested? Call me and let me help you.

Hi wanted to check if you decided on eb5 I am from India on h1b and perm is not approved so wanted to get into eb5. Any help would be great.
 
Hi Chandan, I'm Indian myself and can help you get into EB5 quite easily. Hire our services and we GUARANTEE that we will refund our consulting fees if you are rejected for EB5 for any reason related to us. Our consulting fee refund guarantee does not apply if you're rejected due to criminal background or undocumented source of funds or similar legal reasons given by USCIS.

I actually have a strong track record and have been a business broker for almost 8 years now. The difference between a broker and salesperson is analogous to the difference between a doctor and nurse, where the former license requires more education, experience, responsibility and training than the latter.

Hi Yatin,

I work out of both California and Florida. I've a few questions for you before I decide to collaborate with you:
a) How many investors are currently there in the project, and how much have they invested?
b) are your books of accounts audited and certified by a CPA?
c) How many investors have you helped in getting EB5 visas so far?
d) When did you start this project?
e) Can you furnish a copy of the USCIS approval granted for your project?
f) What is the projected rate of return for your projects and how did you arrive at those figures?
g) What is the return on investment paid on your project to existing investors over each of the past 3 years?
h) Have any investors lost part or all of their investment in your project?
 
Hi Yatin,

I tried calling you to get answers to my questions but did not get any response. I also waited for you to post the replies on the forum but did not see any reply till now. I hope all is well and you will post the requested information on the forum so that potential investors and brokers can learn the facts before we decide to move forward.

Best regards,
Mohammed
