Only regional centers investors may use the <a href=\"https:\/\/eb5affiliatenetwork.com\/calculating-eb-5-job-creation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">indirect method of calculating jobs<\/a> through an approved economic methodology. This is significant as it means that EB-5 investors do not need to document that full time (W-2) employees were hired and remained employed for at least two full years but instead only need to show that their invested funds were spent according to the business plan.<\/p>\n<p>EB5AN\u2019s several USCIS-approved regional centers give it broad geographic coverage. This coverage network enables it to immediately sponsor strong EB-5 projects in cities across the United States, including Springfield, Illinois.<\/p>\n<h3>The EB5AN Springfield, Illinois Regional Center<\/h3>\n<p>Potential EB-5 investors can make an EB-5 investment in any EB-5 project in the United States, but those living in Springfield may desire to invest in projects already located within the state.
