My I-526 petition is denied, and I asked RC to return my investment according to our subscription agreement, but they are making excuses and delay refund. I believe they are using my funds in their business and have financial difficulty in returning them. What legal resorts are common in pushing them? Reporting to USCIS, SEC, or shall I file a suit against them in court?

I obtained a green card under EB5 scheme on 30th January 2015. So, the green card will expire on 30th January 2017 and I need to apply for removal of conditions during the quarter starting October 2016. I and my wife got the green card under consular process, while my son who was in USA already under a F1 visa applied for Adjustment of Status. As is wont to happen with AOS applications, there were quite a few unnecessary queries and USCIS adjusted his status and issued his green card only on 1st October 2015 (card expiring on 10-01-2017). Since he is a derivative applicant , should we submit I 829 applications for all three of us in October 2016 or should only I and my wife apply in October 2016 while my son will have to apply separately in July 2017? If latter is the case, how do we show conditions removal for him, given that the jobs would have to be created as per my green card expiry date and not his?

I want to hire an independent financial advisor well versed in EB5 regulations to help do the due diligence for me (investor) and to advise on the selection of appropriate regional center and one of their affiliated projects. I talked to a couple of advisors I found through Google search and also looked up some on this site's list of advisors. My concern is that they get their commision from the regional centers and in some cases also represent regional centers to secure funding from investors. I see that as a conflict of interest and double dipping if they are charging both the investors and the RCs. How can one find a truly independent advisor and how one knows if he/she is not being compensated to give undue favored ranking/recommendation for a RC that pays higher finder fees as opposed to ones that are really competitive in terms of past results and current project potential? (1 answer)
Do some regional centers charge a lesser fee from investors who approach them directly as opposed to through an agent/advisor? This is because in the first case, they don't have to pay the commissions/finder fee/advisory fee/or marketing fee to the intermediary i.e. less mouths in the transaction. What regional centers do that? (1 answer)
Also if there a central and reliable source of data for all regional centers and projects with their fees listed and also with their past records of successes with the petitions/investor's capital preservations/ROIs etc? In the absence of such a record, one then must rely on the RC's own posted data that could be inaccurate. How is one to verify their past claims/records ? I would like to avoid going one by one through the hundreds of RCs for that data. (1 answer)
What is the benefit of investing in an EB-5 Regional Center as opposed to going with a direct investment in an EB-5 project? (1 answer)

The EB-5 project I invested in failed. No jobs will be created and I lost all of the administrative fees. My child is turning 21 soon, will my I-526 petition under the failed project be denied by USCIS? Is it possible that USCIS allows me to maintain my priority date while I transfer my case to another viable EB-5 project without resubmitting the I-526 again? Are there precedent cases governing transferring a case from a failed project to the viable one without re-filing? I do not want to pay another filing fee and legal fee when my source of funds petition is essentially the same. Do I have to withdraw my petition from the failed project and resubmit another I-526 petition under the new EB-5 project? If so, how can I still include my child as derivative under my application? (2 answers)

I want to invest in a troubled business. I know that in a troubled business an investor is supposed to maintain the number of employees that the business had before the investment was made. If I maintain the number of employees but replace them with my own employees (all of whom can legally work in the US), am I in violation of the EB-5 program for troubled businesses? The relevant regulation (8 CFR 204.6(j)(4)(ii)) does not give me clear guidance on this issue. Thank you very much for your help. (1 answer)

I am an investor and I recently purchased a restaurant that was established in 1985. The restaurant was closed down before I bought it, and all of its employees were discharged. I have recently re-opened the restaurant under a new corporation, but with the same DBA. I have also re-hired many of the old employees that were previously discharged. This is in a non-regional center area. First, for purposes of EB-5, is this restaurant now considered a new business created after 11/29/1990? Second, since I hired back many of the old employees, will they or will they not count as new hires for job creation purposes? Thanks so much. (1 answer)

I have been arranging construction loans in California for 35 years. Because of changes in real estate market I have high demand for constructions loans. Those are private loans secured by real estate and arranged by licensed California broker (also called "Hard Money Loans"). Loan amounts range between $1,000,000- $20,000,000. The loans are typically for 18-60 months. The loans creates new jobs. I estimate that for each $1 million invested, about 20 new job positions are being created, it can be documented. The return on investment is 5%-11% depending on the project and it fairly very secured. Could these investment opportunities qualify as a viable project for an immigrant investor and if so, is it likely that investors would be interested in such a business plan? (3 answers)

How does prepayment of debt investment work? I work for a hotel developer considering EB-5 financing as an alternative to other sources of capital. My understanding is that to satisfy at-risk requirements, an EB-5 loan made to a developer through a regional center can't be repaid before investors receive visas typically three to five years from the time of investment.

How will indirect job creation work for my project? I am looking at an EB-5 project that has received I-924 approval (actual project with exemplar I-526 petition). I was told that this project only uses indirect job creation, because the construction is less than 24 months. According to the I-924 document, this project can create 17 indirect jobs per EB-5 applicant, which seems very secure to get an I-829 approval when the time comes. 1) What concerns do you have with this job creation based on the limited information? 2) This project is financed by both the government and EB-5 investors. How much capital expenditure will be used for the EB-5 job creation calculation? Will only the portion injected by EB-5 investors be used? 3) How will the timing of the capital injection impact the job creation? For example, the project will be completed in the coming July, but the fund won't be released to constructor from an escrow account until the EB-5 investor gets I-526 approval, which will be later than the construction completion date.
