Regional Center Set Up

Martin Lawler and his team of EB-5 expert lawyers advise developers on structuring of EB-5 Regional Centers; the necessary documents; timing; and advice on the Regional Center’s operation.

We have represented a number of developers to set up Regional Centers for investors to qualify for EB-5 investor green cards. Within four months of approval, one Regional Center has filed over 12 I-526 applications and has many more in the process of investing.

We are also helping set up seven more Regional Centers. We can recommend economists and business plan writers who quickly prepare the necessary documents.

In some cases, investors can invest in the Regional Center’s project directly and the investor’s EB-5 I-526 application filed before the Regional Center is approved by the USCIS. In other cases, investments can be made in the Regional Center while its designation application is pending with the USCIS, but the I-526 individual petition cannot be filed until the Regional Center application is granted.

Regional Centers are complex, expensive and time consuming projects. They involve constant marketing, government compliance, and locating and managing projects. They can be excellent means of raising capital. But they require a substantial commitment. Martin Lawler is pleased to discuss creating a Regional Center with interested developers and financiers.
