How EB-5 Benefits the U.S. Economy

Amid the immigration concerns that have recently befallen the United States, many people look to immigration programs, such as EB-5, as potentially resting on the chopping block. While this topic is tough to see past without considerable speculation, it seems unlikely that the EB-5 program will be at risk, as the benefits to the United States economy, taxpayers, and working class are immediately evident when taking a look under the hood. The Incredible Benefits of a Great Idea In the 1990s, the EB-5 program saw its inception, but the years that followed saw a program that struggled to get off the ground. Well, those days are long behind us now, as the EB-5 program is now ramping up incredibly quickly, providing numerous lucrative benefits to US citizens and the successful foreign nationals…

Look for Useful EB-5 Investments

If you’re looking into beginning an EB-5 investment partnership with a United States company, there are a few things you should look into first. In our previous blog, we addressed the basics of how to detect and avoid a fraudulent or dangerous investment, today we’ll take a more optimistic approach by pointing out ways to identify lucrative, worthwhile investments. Doubling Your EB-5 Equity The EB-5 program is a fantastic win-win; the United States economy, both locally and domestically, benefits from the inflowing investments created by the EB-5 program, while the investors themselves get to reap the benefits of US residency or citizenship for themselves and their families. Both parties, however, stand to benefit even beyond the 500,000 dollar initial investment if the entrepreneurs w…

Reassuring Words from U.S. Consulate Ho Chi Minh

Dear AVS Investors and Friends in Vietnam: The Honorable Mark McGovern, Consular Section Chief of the U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi Minh, was interviewed last week on Vietnam television and officially confirmed what I’ve been saying since President Trump’s series of immigration orders have triggered confusion worldwide:  things remain as they were and it’s “business as usual” for the U.S. State Department’s visa processing. The interview was rare in that most U.S. Consulates abroad remain as confused as the rest of us regarding what new policies are being changed, when, and how; most have been silent, spawning rumors in high volume visa nations like India, Mexico and China.  The Mr. McGovern’s interview once again affirmed AmConGen HCM’s proactive efforts within its jurisdictional c…

Migration Agents Fraudulently Collecting EB-5 Funds from Investors?

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM AVS: AVS EB-5 has learned from USG sources that online ads marketing AVS EB-5 projects have appeared in foreign online media, posted by parties purporting to represent American Venture Solutions EB-5.  Some of these have been posted by parties with which AVS has never had a relationship; others have originated from migration agencies with which AVS has previously collaborated, before U.S. regulatory decisions prohibited success fee payments to anyone except foreign registered securities broker/dealers.  AVS continues to collaborate with our prior agent partners to insure a smooth EB-5 process for all AVS investors, but, in accordance with U.S. policy changes, AVS EB-5 no longer works with migration agents and only accepts direct investor inquiries or those referred by…

Overseas EB-5 “Commissions”: The SEC Elephant in the Room

Over the course of the six years since the USCIS graciously approved American Ventures Solutions as an EB-5 Regional Center, I’ve witnessed competitors raise more EB-5 money in a single trip to China than I can raise in six months of globetrotting.  So why?  Are their EB-5 projects better than mine? Nope.  (Well, to be fair, our projects involve rock mining and heavy trucking in the boonies; shiny skyscraper models play better visually…)   Could it be the U.S. operating partners have a better track record and are more reputable than mine? No way, not even CLOSE.   So then: WHY? The reason for this glaring discrepancy in AVS’ comparative ineffectiveness in EB-5 fundraising boils down to a single issue: AVS plays by the both the letter and the spirit of U.S. securities law.  Wh…
