How can a non-accredited investor use the EB-5 program? How is it still possible to invest in a regional center even when you do not have "the accredited investor status?" An accredited investor has a net worth which exceeds one million or has a certain degree of annual salary. I currently have the required funds, which just about exceed the $500,000 USD needed to invest, and also the money required to hire lawyers and pay any fees requested, but do not fit in the definition of an accredited investor.

Most Regional Centers require accredited investors, but some do not, and a direct EB-5 investment doesn’t require such a status either. Such a status is not an EB-5 requirement, but an SEC requirement. There would still be options for you.

The advice of a securities attorney will be able to assist you. The securities offering may be either through a Regulation D or Regulation S offering and the choice will determine whether you need to be an accredited investor.
