What are the job creation requiremets when creating an EB-5 direct investment business in a regional center?

By associating your direct EB-5 project with a existing regional center, the employment creation which will be created as a result of the investment. In this example, one can be shown that there is indirect employment creation in a regional center rather than just rely on a typical direct EB-5 model that there will be the creation of 10 full-time jobs by either U.S. citizens or S permanent residents.

In most regional center investments, the job creation is considerably larger than the 10 required. If the center counted the jobs in your business in its report of jobs created, then you could not reference these. Regards.

The jobs the business (also known as the job creating entity or. Generally, the EB-5 project) hires itself would be the direct jobs. The indirect and induced jobs would be estimated by a qualified EB-5 economist under the guidance of qualified EB-5 immigration counsel, like our law firm.
