Immigrant Investor Programs You Can Trust
U.S. EB-5 Immigrant Investor Policy

processing speed
Another great opportunity in the new immigration policy is the dual submission policy. Under the new law, EB-5 investors who are already in the United States can submit I-526 and I-485 applications at the same time to solve the problem of legal residency in a very short period of time. The two-in-one card (Combo Card) with these two certificates can basically enjoy the "same" treatment as a green card, so it is often called a "quasi-green card." This is a provision that the old law did not have.

Flexible living options
An investment can also provide green cards for family members. Unlike other visa categories, EB-5 has no English proficiency, minimum education requirements, or age restrictions.
After obtaining a green card, you and your family can live, work or go to school anywhere in the United States without being tied to the location of the investment project.
Unlike other work visas, EB-5 investors do not require employer sponsorship, giving them more freedom and flexibility.

Excellent investment option
Investors can choose to invest directly in the business or through a regional center, which requires less day-to-day management and involvement. This means that even investors with little management experience can be successful in an EB-5 project.
Regional centers carefully evaluate each project they are associated with to ensure investors’ financial and immigration risks are low
EB5 Policy Explained
U.S. EB5 immigrant investor refers to the U.S. immigration law in the EB5 visa category, the full name Employment Based Fifth Preference, is for overseas investors set up by the immigration category. Since its creation in 1990, the EB5 Act has been amended three times, and has now become one of the immigration shortcuts in all immigration categories with short approval time and fewer restrictions.
The EB5 Regional Center Program was officially re-launched on March 15, 2022, raising the investment to $800,000 for Targeted Employment Areas (TEAs) and $1.05 million for non-Targeted Employment Areas (NTAs), and the new regulations have officially gone into effect.
2022
The U.S. Congress passed the Reform and Integrity Act of 2022, which raises the minimum investment amount of EB5 to $800,000, strengthens the regulation of the industry, and sets aside 3,200 visa set-aside quotas to be provided to new investors investing in visa set-aside areas. Currently, there is no scheduling period for visa set-aside category EB5, and applicants can submit I-526E and I-485 in the U.S. at the same time, and immediately realize the legalization of their status in the United States.
1998
The Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) restructured the EB5 program to require investors to provide the lawful source of their EB5 investment funds and to prohibit guarantees of a return on investment.
2013
USCIS has established the Immigration Investment Program Office (IPO) to specialize in EB5 processing.
1993
Congress created the EB5 Regional Center Pilot Program.
1990
U.S. Congress creates the EB5 immigrant investor immigration category.
What is Regional Center
Introduction of the Regional Center
A Regional Center is a program under the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) designed to attract foreign investment and stimulate job creation in America. These centers are designated entities responsible for promoting economic growth, improving regional productivity, creating new employment opportunities, or increasing domestic capital investment.
By investing in a Regional Center project, foreign investors have the opportunity to obtain permanent residency in the U.S., commonly referred to as a green card. To qualify, investors must invest a specified amount into a project within a Regional Center and ensure that this investment leads to the creation of at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers.
One of the primary advantages of Regional Center investment projects, compared to direct investment projects, is that they allow for job creation to be direct, indirect, or induced. This offers greater flexibility to investors and can potentially reduce their risks.
Choosing the right Regional Center is crucial for EB-5 investors as not all centers have the same track record of success. Thus, investors should conduct thorough research and seek expert advice when making decisions.

EB-5 Immigration Initiated Projects
We are not an intermediary or a regional center. We are senior real estate developers and investors in the United States.
There are real estate projects in rural and urban high-unemployment areas that comply with the EB5 new policy and are open to EB5 investors through cooperation with regional centers.
There are projects located in rural areas that can help investors quickly obtain green cards, withdraw funds safely or convert them into real estate;
Projects located in urban areas with high unemployment can help investors achieve the dual purposes of investment and immigration.
Existing Project
The Smoky Mountains, where the project is located, are the most visited attractions in the United States. Three major attractions, Gaitlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Dolloywood theme park, are gathered together, plus the surrounding convention and exhibition centers, entertainment facilities, various theme parks, Titanic Museum, Aquariums, catering golf courses, various ball game venues and events, wedding chapels, etc. have made the entire Great Smoky Mountains region the most visited attraction in the United States, with the number of tourists reaching 12.94 million in 2022.
We launched Sequoia Heights Resort (SHR), an EB5 development project of 30 luxury cabins. It is located in Pigeon Forge, the nation's number one scenic spot around the Great Smoky Mountains. The cabins not only provide a high-end and comfortable living experience, but also blend in with the surrounding natural beauty and beauty. Tourist attractions coexist harmoniously. 49 of the 98 cabins in the same area have been pre-sold, and there are currently cabins built for short-term rental online.
Log cabins have stable short-term rental income, and the market demand for such luxury cabins is strong.
This project is a rural project invested through a regional center in a Target Employment Area (TEA) with the largest green card quota under the new EB5 policy of the Immigration Bureau. It can accept green card applications from up to 17 families.
