REGIONAL CENTERS

Understand the role of a regional center.

Regional center projects are one way investors may participate in EB-5. The designation and the specific investment each require careful review.

THE BASICS

A designation is not an endorsement.

A regional center is an economic unit designated by USCIS to participate in the EB-5 program. Regional center-sponsored investments may count eligible direct and indirect job creation under applicable rules.

USCIS designation does not mean the government approves the investment’s quality, guarantees a return, or promises an immigration outcome. Ask for current designation information, project-specific filings and offering documents, and independent verification of any claims.
