The U.S. Government has Extended the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program for Three
Years
BOCA RATON, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
The approved three year extension of the EB-5 regional center program is
reassuring news for foreign investors who have been waiting for the opportunity
to become U.S. permanent residents and ultimately U.S. citizens. 

The EB-5 investment visa program allows immigrants investing $500,000 in a
federally designated regional center to obtain permanent residence in a
relatively short period of time if they can prove that the invested funds will
create ten American jobs. To qualify for the visa applicants have to pass
extensive background checks and prove the source of their investment is
legitimate. 

"Following a series of meetings with government officials, specialized EB-5
immigration attorneys and visits to many EB-5 regional center programs over the
past year, our research has identified a lot of detailed background information
that potential applicants must know before choosing a regional center and
applying for the EB-5 visa," said Andrew Bartlett, joint managing partner of
Which EB5, (www.WhichEB5.com) an organization specializing in providing
information and education to potential EB-5 visa immigrants. 

While the EB-5 program is one of the best ways to immigrate to the US there are
a number of points that immigrants need to consider such as: Which regional
centers have obtained green cards in the fastest time; which centers have a 100%
record of obtaining green cards; which centers are shortly returning investor
funds and where the potential dangers lie in the program.
