  There are no limitations on a number of projects within an existing Regional Center as long as the projects are EB-5 compliant and administered property by the Regional Center. The projects must be within the scope of the approved activities and the geographical area approved for a reduced level of investment by USCIS. If any particular project falls outside the center''s approved designation and/or extends to new geographical area(s), the center may file a request for an amendment with USCIS. You should discuss your intended activities with a qualified immigration attorney. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.

  There is no limit on the number of projects that EB-5 regional center may have per se. However, given the requirements to create jobs for each EB-5 investor, there will be some limitation on how big the project could be and how many projects that the Regional Center could realistically administer properly.

  No, there is no limit on the number of EB5 projects the Regional Center can have. However, the EB5 Regional Center project must be in an industry classification that is already approved by the EB5 unit of the USCIS.

  There is no limit from an immigration perspective. You should discuss your intentions and structure with a securities counsel to make sure you don''t have issues as a result of the 1940 Act.

  The regulations do not impose a limit on the number of projects an EB-5 Regional Center can have. Practically speaking however, the market will limit the project number.

  No, there is no limit on the number of projects an individual EB-5 Regional Center can have, although regional centers generally do not have more than one active project at any given time (eligible to accept new investors).

  No there is no limit per se but normally the description and demographics of financial responsibility and job creation are focused on a clear definition of a cohesive project. I not sure if thus answers your question, but am very willing to speak directly with you.

  There is no limit to the number of projects a Regional Center may administer. The projects will need be in the industries and the geographical area for which the Regional Center designation has been approved by USCIS. When the project is outside of the approved scope, the Regional Center may have the option of submitting a request to amend the designation to add industries or geographic areas.

  There is no limit to the qualified projects within an approved regional center. However , each project will need its own business and economic plans along with EB 5 compliant documentation.

  No. As long as the project falls within the Regional Center''s approved territory and industry codes, a regional center can sponsor as many projects as it wants without filing an amendment application.
