Join Us on a Virtual Driving Tour of EB5AN’s Bay Creek Rural EB-5 Project

If you have made an EB-5 investment or are planning to do so, your chances of success depend on the EB-5 project you choose. If the EB-5 project you invest in creates enough jobs, remains compliant with the EB-5 program, and succeeds financially, you will likely be in line for a fast Green Card approval and a repayment of your invested funds.

If you choose your EB-5 project wisely, you and your family could become U.S. permanent residents in a matter of months. Even before your Green Cards, you could receive work and travel documents in as little as 53 days.

Because so much depends on the project you select—a significant financial commitment of $800,000 as well as your immigration goals—EB5AN encourages every EB-5 investor to do thorough research before committing their funds. Investors should get to know potential projects well before making a decision.

And while investors can learn a project’s key details from the offering and financial documents, many EB-5 applicants have felt even more confident after visiting a project in person.

In-person site visits allow you to see a project’s construction progress and gauge for yourself how attractive it will be on the real estate market. You can verify the EB-5 project’s claims firsthand and see exactly how your funds will be used to support ongoing construction.

To help our clients gain such firsthand knowledge, EB5AN has regularly scheduled in-person site visits for many of our projects. But for EB-5 investors who live far away—even overseas—from projects that interest them, a virtual tour is the next best thing.

We are pleased to share a virtual driving tour of our Bay Creek project, one of the premier rural EB-5 offerings on the market today. This footage, shot in October 2025, takes viewers through key areas of the Bay Creek community on Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay.

No matter where you are located, you will be able to see the rapid construction progress and discover why homebuyers continue to choose Bay Creek, bringing in steady revenue for the project—and funds that can be used to repay its EB-5 investors.

“There’s nothing like an in-person site visit,” remarks Sam Silverman, managing partner of EB5AN. “While we’re glad to arrange site visits for our investors, we also recognize that coming in person isn’t possible for many of our clients.

“But through virtual tours of Bay Creek,” Silverman adds, “potential investors can see the construction themselves, get a feel for its market potential, and ultimately feel confident in receiving both Green Cards and their investment back.”

With a unique senior loan structure, EB-5 investors in Bay Creek are first in line for repayment. Its market appeal and strong financials, along with the fast immigration benefits of a rural EB-5 project, are steadily drawing EB-5 investors to Bay Creek.

We invite you to learn more about the project, watch the driving tour, and see for yourself why so many foreign nationals are choosing Bay Creek as the best rural EB-5 project available today.

Driving Tour of Bay Creek—October 2025

Bay Creek sits on Virginia’s Eastern Shore in Cape Charles, directly on the Chesapeake Bay. The community is coastal and low-rise, with porched, cottage-style and traditional single-family homes situated along wide sidewalks and golf-cart streets.

The community fronts roughly two miles of private bayfront beach with dunes and gentle, swimmable water, with long views west to sunset. Inside the gates are lakes, marsh edges, and a 350-acre nature preserve with kayakable creeks and walking/biking trails. The town’s Oyster Farm Marina at Kings Creek is adjacent to the nature preserve for boat slips and charters.

The landscape is groomed but still coastal: Pines, sea grass, ponds, and fairways run to the water’s edge.

Golf greens are a defining visual—courses designed by Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer thread through dunes and along Old Plantation Creek with open bay vistas.

Daily life clusters around the Life Center (with pools and a state-of-the-art gym) and the Coach House clubhouse. Cape Charles’ small downtown, beach, and harbor sit just outside the gate. The beachside locale, resort-residential feel, and spectacular natural views consistently appeal to homebuyers.

The driving tour takes us through the main entrance, then to the stylish clubhouse. We then see the Bayside and Muirfield residential areas, with construction progressing right on schedule. Bay Creek’s world-class amenities also come into view, including modern tennis and pickleball courts. Finally, viewers can enjoy the elegant townhouse buildings in the Fairways area.

Learn More About Bay Creek: An Exceptional Rural EB-5 Project

Bay Creek is a 741-acre master-planned coastal community on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, overlooking the Chesapeake Bay in Cape Charles. The setting combines small-town charm with resort-style living, offering miles of private beaches and scenic views of the bay. The development integrates residential neighborhoods with recreational amenities, designed to create an active, family-oriented coastal lifestyle.

At the heart of the community are the two award-winning golf courses, both fully operational and managed by Troon Privé. The Bay Creek Club includes a golf clubhouse, fine dining, and fitness facilities, while the surrounding landscape features walking trails, marina access, and opportunities for kayaking, boating, and fishing.

As part of its ongoing expansion, Bay Creek will add approximately 340 residential lots and 61 new homes, further enhancing the established neighborhood and reinforcing its position as one of Virginia’s most desirable waterfront communities. This creates a significant opportunity for EB-5 funds to be used toward construction expenses, helping investors exceed the 10-job minimum and receive fast Green Card approvals.

Besides its strong financials, investors in Bay Creek will receive numerous immigration benefits:

  • Lower minimum investment: Because the project is in a rural targeted employment area (TEA), the minimum investment is $800,000.
  • Faster rural processing: Investors in a rural TEA receive priority I-526E adjudication, so their petitions are processed more quickly than in non-rural projects. EB5AN’s own rural investors have received I-526E approvals in under six months—and Green Cards in as fast as nine months.
  • Access to rural visa set-aside: Rural projects are eligible for the 20% EB-5 set-aside visa allocation, reducing wait times for Chinese and Indian investors. Chinese and Indian applicants who invest now also qualify for priority processing (see above).
  • Secured senior loan structure: The EB-5 capital is placed into a senior loan secured by a senior mortgage on all developable property, giving EB-5 investors nearly unparalleled financial security for an EB-5 project.
  • Job creation guaranty: The project guarantees that EB-5 funds will be used on eligible expenditures, and estimates show the project should generate 1,371 jobs, well above the 10-jobs-per-investor requirement.
  • I-526E refund guaranty: If USCIS denies an investor’s I-526E, a mechanism has been established for that investor to receive an expedited refund.
  • USCIS exemplar approval: Bay Creek has received Form I-956F exemplar approval, meaning the project’s documents, job creation methodology, and rural TEA status have already been approved by USCIS.
  • “It’s relatively rare,” notes Silverman, “for an EB-5 project to include not only rural immigration benefits but also this exceptional level of financial safety that Bay Creek can offer through its senior loan structure.”

    This combination makes Bay Creek a one-of-a-kind offering, especially for those from countries facing backlogs in other visa categories.

    “If you are searching for an EB-5 project—and especially if you are a Chinese or Indian national—there may be no better option on the market today than Bay Creek,” Silverman concludes.

    We invite you to learn more about the EB-5 program and about Bay Creek by scheduling a free consultation with EB5AN.
