EB-5 Regional Centers Offering Loan Options

The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Pilot Program is recognized as the fastest and easiest way to obtain permanent U.S. residence. With an investment of at least $500,000 into an approved EB-5 program in the United States, the foreign investor, the investor's wife and their unmarried children under the age of 21 become eligible for green cards. These foreign EB-5 applicants even have the option of investing into an EB-5 program through a loan rather than just paying outright.

These loan options give immigrant investors an alternative to investing and perhaps provide some peace of mind along the way. EB-5 Regional Centers have been offering fixed-term loans to qualified foreign investors and it has seemed to answer all the focal points investors look for; the investor is eventually repaid a percentage or up to the full amount of capital invested into the EB-5 project.

Fixed-term loans are appealing to potential EB-5 investors who focus on three main issues: 1) Getting a green card in a timely manner, 2) Seeing restrictions removed after the two-year probationary period, and 3) Increasing the chances of the return of their investment.

In most cases, Regional Centers that offer fixed-term loans also offer an exit strategy for the investor. Other EB-5 visa programs lack this particular characteristic and instead focus on commercial, real estate, and mixed-fund investments; these types of investments often do not have a specific and dated exit strategy whereas loans typically do.
