What risks are associated with the EB-5 program that I should know before deciding to begin my application process? Specifically, I would like to understand the potential risks related to the investment itself, particularly the possibility of losing money, and those risks associated to the application process per se. Who will help mitigate these risks: the migration agency, the attorney, or the regional center I choose if I decide to invest in one of their projects?
