Transparency has always been one of EB5AN’s core values, but as the EB-5 industry continues to evolve, one factor stands out as even more essential for investors: direct access to the people who structure the investments themselves. At EB5AN, that means access to the firm’s principals, Sam Silverman and Mike Schoenfeld.
In a market dominated by regional centers where investors rarely meet the individuals making the strategic decisions behind each project, EB5AN takes a different approach. Sam and Mike remain directly involved in every project, from initial vetting to negotiating investment terms, and they make themselves personally available to any investor evaluating an EB5AN offering.
This level of access provides investors with clarity and confidence that no sales team, brochure, or marketing webinar can replicate.

A Different Kind of Transparency
EB5AN was founded on the belief that EB-5 investors deserve the same respect and level of information as any other private market investor. Over the years, this commitment has led the company to share project details, financial documentation, and in-depth developer information.
Transparency, however, is not just about making documents available. True transparency includes the ability to ask questions about risk, structure, timing, and strategy. Those questions are best answered by the people who made the decisions in the first place.
This is where EB5AN stands alone.
Even though EB5AN has a terrific sales team, Sam and Mike are always available to speak directly with any investor. They welcome one-on-one conversations because they believe transparency is strongest when information is shared directly and openly by the people who structured the investments.
Why Speaking With the Principals Matters
Every EB-5 project involves complex trade-offs: location, asset type, capital structure, loan security, and investment timelines. These factors determine not only how a project is structured, but how it is expected to perform throughout the multi-year EB-5 immigration process.
Sales representatives can answer most questions, but they typically cannot explain the rationale behind each structural decision.
Sam and Mike can explain all of this because they personally structured each offering. They understand how each element was designed, the risks that were mitigated, and the real-world considerations that shaped the investment.
For prospective EB-5 investors, a brief conversation with them often replaces hours of analysis.
Putting Investor Understanding First
Regional centers often emphasize volume and marketing reach. EB5AN emphasizes investor understanding.
Sam and Mike make themselves available because they consider this the firm’s most important responsibility: helping investors make fully informed decisions based on accurate, firsthand information, not sales narratives.
By providing unfiltered access to the decision-makers, EB5AN ensures investors can evaluate not only a project’s strengths but also its limitations, something that is rarely discussed openly in the EB-5 industry.
Offering Projects That Reflect Investor Priorities
The EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act has changed what investors value most. Some now prioritize visa availability and processing speed, which often leads them toward rural projects. Others prefer projects in major cities they understand well, with shorter investment timelines, which may make certain urban projects more appealing.
EB5AN has adapted by offering a range of both rural and urban projects, each selected for its developer strength, job creation viability, and conservative financial structure. But what truly guides an investor to the right choice is the conversation that helps them understand which option fits their situation best.
Time and again, Sam and Mike find that once investors understand the reasoning behind each project’s structure, the right choice becomes clear.
A Higher Standard for an Evolving Program
The EB-5 industry continues to expand, but many of the issues that existed a decade ago—limited investor visibility, opaque project structures, and reliance on marketing claims—persist. EB5AN believes these industry norms must evolve.
Providing direct access to principals is part of raising that standard. Investors deserve not only data, but also candid explanations and direct answers. They deserve to know how decisions were made, why certain risk mitigants were included, and what real-world factors affect immigration and financial outcomes.
