Does anyone have experience with EB-5? I did a startup in Canada, so am fortunate enough to have the 500K/$1M.
It looks like it is fair from a panacea - I haven't yet consulted a lawyer, but based on internet research, it seems like it can be hard to find a legitimate (e.g.: non-scammy) EB-5 Visa project, and the wait times for EB-5 can fairly long. But at least you aren't tied to an employer, and can do whatever you want as long as your investment works out and creates the 10 jobs.
- jgh 10y agoIf you had a nice exit you might be able to use that as EB-1 evidence. That would be a much better route than EB-5. Talk to an immigration attorney about it.
- dusanbab 10y agoDo you have personal evidence of a good exit leading to an EB-1? You would think it would, but that category seems difficult for entrepreneurship/business.
- dusanbab 10y agoI can recommend someone I've met a few times, but didn't end up pursuing an EB-5. Bear in mind that these projects are often not funded through traditional means and ergo are more risky.
