Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyThe best practice is to retain an experienced EB-5 immigration attorney to advise you and coordinate the team of professionals in the preparation of the required supporting documents that will comply with the immigration laws, regulations and policies. Please note this is a immigration legal program; therefore, in my opinion, a U.S. immigration attorney will be required.

Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyYes, you may create your own regional center, but it is time-consuming and if you do not rely on an attorney, I would suggest you obtain books regarding "How To." Once you file, there will be probably a wait of 10 to 12 months before a decision is forthcoming.
