FAQs

  • Why do you recommend a regional center over creating a new enterprise yourself?

    • There are many advantages to the regional center investors.  First, the amount needed to invest is $500,000 vs. $1,000,000.  Second, many investors are retired or semi retired and have already had a lifetime of successful work.  The regional center program requires very little time involved.  The traditional program is a “full time” job and then some.  Third, investors who use a successful regional center project have a higher rate of approval that the traditional program.

  • When is a good time to invest in a regional center? 

    • Now.  Currently is a good time since the U.S. Dollar is weak against the Euro and the Canadian Dollar.                              

  • How long does it take to be approved?

    • Normally, eight to ten months from start to finish.

  • May I bring my family with me to the United States?

    • Your investment would cover residency for your spouse and any children who are under twenty-one at the time the visas are issued.

  • Why are people denied?

    • The number one reason people are denied is lack of proof that the funds used for the investment were lawfully obtained.  Next, some people have criminal convictions that make them inadmissible to the United States.

  • Will I receive a refund from the regional center if my application is denied?

    • Yes, you will receive a full refund of the $500,000 invested if you are not approved for your first residency card.

  • What do I need to get started?

    • Generally, you will need to have $500,000 liquid plus expenses to get the process started.  Additionally, each regional center will prescreen you to try and ensure that you qualify before they move forward with your investment.  Finally, call our office to set up a consultation to start the process.
