EB-5 Investors from Dallas, Texas, Seeking EB-5 Investment

EB-5 investors from Dallas, Texas, seeking an EB-5 investment should consider the benefits of investing in an EB5AN EB-5 visa project.

Take advantage of the EB5AN regional center in Texas, which covers the city of Dallas in its entirety, extending to Downtown, Oak Lawn, and all other neighborhoods.

What Is the Advantage of Using Regional Centers?

EB-5 regional centers streamline the EB-5 investment process for potential EB-5 applicants and make it easier to demonstrate required job creation. Specifically, only regional centers may use the indirect method of calculating jobs through an approved economic methodology. In other words, instead of demonstrating the created jobs on the payroll of the new commercial enterprise (NCE), a regional center investor only needs to show that their capital was invested according to the business plan.

EB5 Affiliate Network maintains multiple USCIS-approved regional centers with broad geographic coverage, enabling it to immediately sponsor strong EB-5 projects in cities across the United States, including Dallas, Texas.

The EB5AN Dallas, Texas, Regional Center

Potential EB-5 investors may select EB5 investments located anywhere in the United States. However, investors who live in Dallas may be interested in investing in local Texas EB-5 projects, and EB5AN’s USCIS-approved EB-5 regional center in Texas makes this an easy decision.

If you live in Dallas and are looking to obtain U.S. permanent resident status, EB5AN’s regional center covering the State of Texas is a great option. The Texas regional center offers coverage for EB-5 projects in Dallas and elsewhere across Texas. Make an EB-5 investment in the Texas EB5AN regional center or another EB5AN regional center and reap the benefits of a U.S. green card.

Primary EB-5 Investment Requirements

The primary EB-5 investment requirements can be summarized as follows:

Projects outside of TEAs require an investment of $1,050,000, but all of EB5AN’s EB-5 investment projects are located in TEAs and qualify for the lower investment threshold of $800,000.
  • Creating or preserving at least 10 full-time jobs for qualifying U.S. workers that last a minimum of two years.
  • Investing in a new commercial enterprise or a troubled business.
  • Maintaining the at-risk status of the investment and using investment funds that have been lawfully sourced.

How to Evaluate EB-5 Investment Projects

EB-5 investors in Dallas, elsewhere in Texas, or anywhere else in the world need to conduct careful due diligence before entering into an EB-5 investment. If not, they are putting both their capital and immigration status at risk.

One of the requirements of a successful EB-5 visa investment is that the investment capital must be at risk for the duration of the investment. This is to ensure investors actually invest their capital and are not simply “buying” a U.S. green card.

Though USCIS guidelines stipulate the maintenance of an “at-risk” investment, investors are not obliged to engage in “risky” investments. Quite the contrary—EB-5 investors are strongly recommended to conduct thorough due diligence to minimize their exposure to financial and immigration risk.

EB5AN, in collaboration with Klasko Immigration Law Partners, has developed an EB-5 Project Risk Assessment Tool for EB-5 investors. This highly functional, easy-to-use tool guides investors through the initial diligence of EB-5 projects from both financial and immigration risk perspectives.
