The EB-5 program is continuing to see a resurgence of interest. EB-5 investors have many options to choose from, but it is now more important than ever to carefully select the regional center that will best meet your goal of receiving a US Green Card. It is equally important to select the best EB-5 projects. Many investors have been drawn to rural projects due to the larger visa set-asides and priority processing, but none of that will matter if an investor selects an overly risky project. Investors should be aware of projects driving market demand solely on the basis that they qualify as rural. The regional center matters, the developer matters and the quality of the project matters. CMB has been able to maintain a 100% project approval rate and we have a proven track record of success in working with our over 6,200 investors to reach their US immigration goals.
