VietnamShort answer: Most EB-5 investors still use regional centers, but immigration outcome and capital risk are separate. Diligence should cover the center’s compliance record, project business and job assumptions, fund flows and escrow, exit/redeployment terms, and completeness of disclosure.
Checklist (overview)
| Area | What to ask |
|---|---|
| Entity | Regional center status, major enforcement or litigation |
| Project | Developer experience, schedule, cost-overrun mechanics |
| Jobs | Whether direct/indirect model assumptions are conservative |
| Capital | Escrow release conditions, use restrictions |
| Exit | Expected repayment source, delay and loss scenarios |
| Redeployment | Expected or not, consent rights, new asset types |
See US EB-5.
Global Immigrate’s recommendation
- Read the PPM/subscription documents before the pitch deck.
- Model the immigration timeline and the return timeline separately.
- Treat key clauses that cannot be answered in writing as a red flag.
