Utah High Country Regional Center (UHCRC) is a government approved EB-5 Regional Center that affords foreign investors the opportunity to become United States permanent residents. UHCRC raises investment capital through participation in the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. This foreign capital is utilized to finance various development projects throughout the state of Utah. UHCRC received its EB-5 Regional Center designation approval from USCIS on September 13, 2011. The regional center was initially organized as a Utah corporation in 2010.
The role of the Utah High Country Regional Center is to connect EB-5 foreign investors with investment projects and opportunities. UHCRC subsequently manages the relationship between the EB-5 visa applicants and their investment project. UHCRC also helps applicants with the rigorous background check and application process that each EB-5 visa applicant must undergo, as required by USCIS. UHCRC connects investors with projects related to the development of natural gas systems for vehicles and trucking companies.
