In recent years, U.S. investment immigration has become increasingly popular, and the number of people immigrating to the United States has risen sharply. However, at the same time, the risks and issues behind EB-5 investment immigration to the United States cannot be ignored. Recently, U.S. media reported several cases of fraud involving EB-5 developers and even immigration attorneys, with the affected population primarily consisting of Chinese investors. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has already intervened.

EB-5 Fraud Causes Losses to Investors


From June of this year to the present, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has penalized or prosecuted at least three EB-5 related parties suspected of violations, including local U.S. illegal intermediaries, companies, and regional centers. Coincidentally, in the past two days, U.S. media reported that some EB-5 investors were overly credulous of so-called "local U.S. attorneys," finding projects and lawyers through friends and relatives, only to be defrauded by local attorneys in California.


Managing EB-5 Risks Requires a Two-Pronged Approach


How can one effectively manage the risks of U.S. investment immigration? Worldway Group reminds all EB-5 investors: on one hand, keep in mind the philosophy that "the project is king" and select projects cautiously. On the other hand, choose a professional and reliable immigration agency.


1. Keep in mind that the project is king, and select projects cautiously


The two major risks of EB-5 investment immigration both stem from the project itself; therefore, selecting a project is more important than blindly rushing to catch the last train. Currently, the safest way to deal with U.S. investment immigration backlogs and price increases is to invest as soon as possible in EB-5 projects that have already received USCIS exemplar approval and are protected by the "grandfather clause." In addition, investors should also consider numerous comprehensive factors, such as whether the project developer is strong, whether the investment and repayment are reliable, whether the exit mechanism is sound, whether the project has a perfect EB-5 fund supervision mechanism, and whether job creation is sufficient.


2. Choose a professional and reliable immigration company


As a professional investment immigration agency, Worldway Group is better able to adapt to the "project is king" new normal during this critical period of U.S. investment immigration in terms of project selection and the ability to reasonably reduce risks. The Worldway analysis team fully considers the actual needs of investors. Starting from the perspective of investors selecting projects, they objectively organize the risk control measures for the project's "three EB-5 hurdles," as well as the sources of these measures and clauses, ultimately assisting investors in managing risks within their selected projects. Over the past 18 years, relying on its strong project team, documentation team, and customer service team, Worldway has helped thousands of families successfully immigrate to the United States. Worldway is here to escort you on your U.S. immigration journey.


Quickly Immigrate to the U.S. by Locking in Worldway's Approved Projects Protected by the "Grandfather Clause"


Immigrate to the U.S. quickly by locking in Worldway's group-buying green channel. Seize the final spots for high-quality projects that have received USCIS exemplar approval and are protected by the grandfather clause (group-buying ends on September 30)—the DLJ Four Seasons Hotel and Resort project (a project invested in by the DLJ multi-billion fund that has received I-526 exemplar approval) and the Pennsylvania Turnpike project (a government-backed repayment project that has received I-924 actual project exemplar approval).
