Benefits of the EB-5 Regional Center Program
The EB-5 Regional Center Program sets aside 3,000 green cards each year for foreign investors who invest in designated regional centers like the NYCRC. In addition, the program is one of the most flexible immigrant investor programs in the world. The program has:
- No language requirement
- No minimum education requirement
- No business or management experience requirement
- No quota backlogs (there are multi-year backlogs for many employment and family-based green card categories, but there is no quota backlog for the EB-5 investor category)
- No sponsor needed (foreign investors use their own personal funds and do not require sponsorship from either an employer or a family member)
- Investment capital can come from a gift, inheritance, business ownership or any other lawful activities
- Investors are not required to manage their investment on a daily basis so they may pursue other professional and personal ventures
