I have seen an increase in requests regarding EB-5's and there is some real confusion out there. Lets start with the most frequently asked questions. 1) Can I buy 500,000 of stock in a company and qualify... No 2) My uncle is going to loan me the money to invest, will that work?.. No 3) I want to buy rental houses.. No

One thing to keep in mind is that the USCIS want to see that the investment is not "static". This means that it is an active invest with no less than 10 staff and growing. A good example of this is a hotel, assisted living center or a restaurant.

The EB-5's are much more difficult than they look and take plenty of planning, and involve risking a lot of money on an investment. But a great option for those with substantial funds that want to set up a business in the USA!!
