Why EB-5?
Why the EB-5 Program is Good for You?
The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program provides a fast and reliable pathway to U.S. residency for you and your family. Here’s how it can benefit you:
- Secure a Green Card: Invest in a qualifying project and obtain permanent residency in the United States.
- Shorter Processing Times: The EB-5 program offers potentially faster processing times compared to other employment-based green card options.
- Live and Work Freely: Enjoy the flexibility to live, work, and invest anywhere in the U.S.
- Family Benefits: Extend Green Card benefits to your spouse and unmarried children under 21.
- Pathway to Citizenship: After meeting eligibility requirements, apply for U.S. citizenship and all its associated benefits.


What is a Regional Center?
EB-5 Regional Centres are entities designated by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to foster economic growth through strategic capital investment projects. These centres bring together investments from multiple EB-5 investors into substantial, impactful projects that significantly contribute to regional economic development and job creation. As the exclusive partner of EB 5IVE, NYIF is uniquely positioned to handle top-tier projects, ensuring that each investment meets the high standards set by USCIS and maximizes the potential for economic impact in the regions it serves.
Benefits of Investing in Regional Centers
1. Indirect Job Creation
Regional centres can count both indirect and induced jobs towards the job creation requirement, making it easier to meet the program’s employment criteria. This flexibility makes regional centres an attractive option for investors (USCIS).
2. Reduced Management Responsibility
Investors in regional centres typically have minimal day-to-day management responsibilities. This hands-off approach is ideal for those who prefer not to be involved in the operational aspects of the project (Ashoori Law).
3. Exemplar Approval and Deference
Regional centres can obtain exemplary approvals for their projects. Once a sample I-526 application (the immigrant petition for an investor) is approved, future applications for the same project receive deference from USCIS. This reduces the risk and processing time for individual investors (Ashoori Law).
4. Professional Expertise
Investing in a regional centre allows investors to leverage the expertise of experienced project managers and developers. This can increase the likelihood of project success and compliance with EB-5 requirements.


How Regional Centers Work
Regional Centers are government-approved entities that manage EB-5 projects within designated Targeted Employment Areas (TEAs). These areas may be rural communities or urban neighbourhoods with high unemployment rates.
By Investing in a Regional Center, You Can Benefit From:
- Lower Investment Threshold: The minimum investment amount is typically $800,000 compared to $1,050,000 for projects of Regional Centers.
- Indirect Job Creation: Regional Center projects can count job creation indirectly, which can simplify meeting the program's job creation requirement.
- Risk Mitigation: The team at NYIF regional centre that measures risks in-depth and calculates precise percentages to make sure your investment is protected.
