Jobs are the heartbeat of the American economy, and continuing to create viable jobs is a way to continue to grow the American economy and set ourselves and those who come after us up for success and prosperity. In our last blog, we began discussing a few ways that jobs can be created in the U.S. In Part 1 First, we began discussing the the importance of inviting foreign investors to invest in the U.S. economy. EB-5 investors programs give foreign investors incentives to invest their wealth in the U.S. economy by offering a means for permanent residency. The investor program that American Venture Solutions EB-5 offers requires that our investors create and maintain 10 jobs offered by our investment programs. We also discussed the importance of students finding viable education options afte…

Though some claim to be seeing the light with the unemployment rate of the United States, there is always still work to be done. To continue to stimulate the economy, more jobs must be created. To have better products and more innovation, there must be competition or at least the opportunity to implement new ideas. Jobs are the heartbeat of the economy and the center of the American dream. Today, we are going to discuss how we can create more jobs for the success of the individual and the country at large. EB-5 Investors EB-5 Investors are one of the ways to stimulate the economy, continue to create viable jobs, and give non-Americans the chance to become citizens of the United States. Immigrant investors stimulate the economy by investing in projects that create and sustain jobs. American…

On June 1st, 2017, Senator Patrick Leahy and Representatives Zoe Lofgren and John Conyers, Jr. wrote a joint letter to Laurent Morali, the president of Kushner Companies, indicating in the opening that they: “…are concerned about recent reports detailing Kushner Companies’ use of the EB-5 Regional Center program, especially in light of Jared Kushner’s role in the Trump administration and the potential for conflicts of interest. These reports indicate that Kushner Companies and its latest EB-5 project, “One Journal Square,” may be seeking to benefit from the Kushner family’s connections to the White House. These reports also suggest that luxury developers have aggressively lobbied Congress to prevent reforms to the EB-5 program. Such lobbying appears intended to benefit luxury developme…

Below are just some of the reasons why investment immigration is a profitable opportunity for you: No Need for Business Experience For many other types of investment opportunities that can give you as big of a return on your investme…

After railing for the last few years about how Big EB-5 cheats via census tract “gerrymandering” in order to falsely qualify as a TEA, this has been a pretty great month for us here at AVSEB-5 and for the handful of TRUE TEA and rural projects having to compete against six page color spreads in glossy magazines: First, IIUSA and Congressional leaders agree on  EB-5 reform legislation which puts an end to the gerrymandering abuse.  That means that, for the first time in the history of EB-5, the congressional mandate of the law – to create jobs in the poorest and most rural parts of America, will be realized.  As I’ve said for the last six years since AVS was approved as a Regional Center, I have NO issues with competing against the slick boys in the big cities… AS LONG AS the price of …

After months of uncertainty, and expectation that President Trump might kill the regulation, the so-called “Fiduciary Rule” is now scheduled to go into effect June 9.  The idea behind the fiduciary rule is to create a requirement that requirement that investment and financial advisers to act only in the ­best interests of their clients. In other words, it will require the professionally trained and government regulated advisers to put THEIR financial interest secondary, after that of their client.
