An EB-5 Investor’s Obligation: Due Diligence

An EB-5 Investor’s Obligation: Due Diligence.

Prospective EB-5 investors have an obligation to conduct proper due diligence. participation in the EB-5 program, from an immigrant investor’s perspective, involves a huge financial commitment as well as relocation from the home country to life in the United States. In most cases this relocation is of multiple individuals within a family unit, what the EB-5 Program terms eligible dependents. Simply stated, the EB-5 investor is investing hundreds of thousands of dollars of a family’s wealth which, this investment, also requires moving that family to the United States with the intent to become permanent residents of the United States so common-sense dictates that the investment not be entered into blindly.

EB-5 investor’s obligation.

Proper EB-5 investor’s obligation, due diligence, is not one in which the EB-5 investor can rely solely upon what they are told by others. A proper due diligence is one in which the investor gains knowledge about the EB-5 Program, its requirements, its options, its milestones, how success is measured and what happens if something goes wrong. The prospective EB-5 investor needs to understand more than what is required to get a visa. The investor’s due diligence needs to also focus on EB-5 investment opportunities and how these investment opportunities may differ from one another.

Past successes or failures are not a guarantee of future success.

Past successes or failures are not a guarantee of future success or a guarantee of failure however past successes and failures can be something to learn from. A proper due diligence should include understanding what lead to a project’s success or what lead to a project’s failure. The prospective EB-5 investor should then use this knowledge and apply it to any prospective EB-5 investment opportunity they are considering.
