EB-5 Immigration attorneysNo, 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.

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

EB-5 Immigration attorneysGeographical area must be in the U.S. as that is where the direct and indirect jobs must be created.
Rachel Lew
EB-5 Immigration attorneysNo. 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.
