How am I affected by other EB-5 investors in a pooled project?

You will be affected if there are not enough jobs created for all investors. Your risk increases if you are one of the last investors to join the project, as not enough jobs will be allocated to your job creation requirement. You should review the job allocation agreement for determining your particular case.

No; you should not be affected by the other investors. There might be an issue if you are one of the last investors to join a project and the job creation numbers fall short. In that case, there might not be enough new jobs to be allocated to your I-829. The risk of this happening varies from project to project. You should contact an experienced EB-5 immigration attorney to advise you in these matters.

The main way you could be affected is if there are not sufficient jobs to be allocated and other investors receive jobs that deplete the overall amount leaving less than 10 jobs for you.

In a pooled investment, job creation and allocation are critical. Job allocation may have been or should have been defined as part of your investment. If the project you invested in has met the necessary metrics you should be able to verify the job creation for your I-829 filing.

The I-829 is approved based on the job creation of the project. If there are enough jobs to cover all of the investors, there shouldn''t be a problem with your application. If they are short in jobs, there may be a problem. If there are personal issues with the other investors in the project that deem them inadmissible in the U.S. or if there are crimes, that should not affect your application. Your application is adjudicated based on the PROJECT and not by what the other investors do. The Job creation according to the business plan on the I-526 is the most important aspect. I would seek a specialized immigration attorney to file your I-829 application to make sure there are no issues.

Investors in a pool can affect another''s application if there aren''t sufficient jobs created, hence the first to file will have the jobs allocated to them.

No... Why would you believe that to be a problem?
