EB-5 Immigration attorneysIf the project is run by a regional center, indirect jobs will be counted; also it depends on when you make the investment. However, in the case of a direct investment, only direct jobs will be counted that have been created by your investment. Pre-existing jobs in the business will not count towards your investment.
