 Job creation in the EB-5 Visa Program
This is particularly important at the I-829 stage when conditions are removed, assuming of course that the $500,000 principal has been utilized as required, and the 10 jobs required have been created.
All too often this is an area where not enough attention is given, and in many cases evidence of jobs created will be required. In certain cases a delay or problem with a program could jeopardize the creation of these all important jobs.
However, there is an interesting alternative that is operated by a very small number of regional centers. USCIS recently indicated they are accepting the use of economic models based on infusion of capital. If such a model is used to calculate job projections at the I-526 stage, an investor could receive credit for job creation at the I-829 stage by establishing that the regional center utilized the requisite amount of capital into the new commercial enterprise, and that the new commercial enterprise spent that capital. All this could be done without specific direct data about actual job creation.
“If the infusion of capital occurs according to the approved business plan and economic analysis, and the capital investment scheme comes to fruition in the manner outlined in the business plan, then the economic data provided in support of the Form I-526 petition regarding indirect job creation may demonstrate the creation of the indirect jobs without the submission of further detailed data about job creation at the Form I-829 petition stage”.
