No. The investment must be in the United States and the job creation must be within a U.S regional center.

No, EB-5 investment must benefit the U.S. economy and job creation must be fulfilled within the U.S. Regional Centers operate within designated TEAs unless the investment is $1M. No, this would not qualify.

For EB-5 purposes, the projects must be located in the U.S. and the requisite job creation also in the U.S.

Geographical area must be in the U.S. as that is where the direct and indirect jobs must be created.

No. Each regional center focuses specifically on a defined geographic area of the Untied States, not outside of the U.S., because the main idea of EB-5 Investor Immigrant Program is to create jobs inside the U.S. not outside of U.S. jurisdiction.

The quick answer is NO. The Regional Center EB-5 projects have to be located in the U.S.

This is a complex question. The short answer being no, the money has to be invested in the U.S. with the jobs being created on U.S. soil.

It will be difficult. How do you generate 10 U.S. full-time jobs for each investor (each will have to invest $1 million)?

There is no rule permitting or forbidding projects outside the U.S.
