Advantages of South Florida Investment Regional Center
Those seeking an EB-5 investor visa enjoy several advantages by applying through the South Florida Investment Regional Center.
If you were to apply for an EB-5 investor visa independently, you would most likely have to invest at least $1 million. By applying through the South Florida Investment Regional Center, the minimum investment is only $500,000. This is because the South Florida Investment Regional Center focuses on projects within approved target employment areas.
Furthermore, our Center pools multiple investors together in one project, allowing for a larger and financially more stable project than a single-investor venture.
All of our projects are located in South Florida's Miami-Dade and Monroe counties, a diverse and growing region. We focus on investments in commercial categories that are vital to the local economy.
Job Creation Through the South Florida Investment Regional Center
All job created through our center's projects will be indirect jobs based on spending and use of the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis issued by RIMS II final-demand employment multipliers.
This job creation method has been approved by USCIS in the South Florida Investment Regional Center's designation.
