What impressed me most about EB5 Diligence was their report hit all the essential bases with clearly defined investigative parameters. Site visits, interviews with managers, background checks, financial analysis illustrated by graphs and charts make the EB5 Diligence report an excellent tool for a prospective investor. All findings, whether positive or negative are presented in a professional and easy to understand manner. EB5 Diligence has set a sound standard for the regional centre industry to follow.
I contacted the team at EB5 Diligence when we were under a time deadline to file an EB-5 petition. They spent the time to review various investment options one of which was eventually selected by our client. This process allowed me and my co-counsel to focus on the legal issues relating to the EB-5 process while EB5 Diligence was advising the client on project selection. I found Kurt and his team to be highly professional and responsive to our needs and have no hesitation in recommending them to others.
EB5 Diligence has been able to comprehensively, intelligently and visually integrate all the components most needed for investors to make an informed decision on a EB-5 qualified project. Their ability to create a workable readable platform is second to none.
To provide the investment due diligence and transparency EB-5 investors need to achieve their immigration and financial goals.
The EB-5 immigration category is a complicated program and its history has many examples of failed offerings, with some investors failing to receive their desired Green Card, or more commonly, failing to have their investment capital returned in full.
That’s why we have been analyzing and performing diligence on EB-5 investments since 2013 and are known and respected by major stakeholders in the industry.
We have reviewed over 150 investments in just the past two years. Compare this to brokers who may offer two or three investments.
The EB5 Marketplace platform enables investors to make an informed investment decision in just days. And we answer questions and provide support for the full lifecycle of the investment.
When investors work with a U.S. broker-dealer, they get a licensed and experienced person who complies with applicable all securities regulations enforced by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Association (FINRA), and state securities regulators.
There is no cost to investors to use our services, and no any obligation to select any of the investments we present. A note of distinction between investment advisors and broker-dealers: Investment advisors are paid by the client upfront; brokers are paid by the issuer once an investment is made.
Our services can help mitigate immigration lawyer liability associated to the qualifying investment and speed up the petitioning process. Lawyers also get access to the investments in each of the client’s account, including full due diligence reports. Some of the top immigration lawyers in the world feel this is an invaluable tool for their EB-5 clients.

“EB-5 investments” refer to a type of private placement investment, typically created by developers or sponsors in the construction, hospitality, or other job creating industries, that are designed to meet the requirements of the fifth among five Permanent Worker Visa Preference Categories (EB-1 through EB-5) established by the USCIS. Its official title, the Employment-Based Immigration: Fifth Preference (EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program - https://www.uscis.gov/eb-5 to find out more) offers high-net worth non-U.S. persons, including members of their immediate families, the opportunity to obtain U.S. “green-cards” or permanent residence status. One of the requirements of this specific visa category is that the applicant must invest (typically USD $500,000) in a new commercial business that generates 10+ jobs per investment for U.S. workers. Accordingly, the construction, hospitality, and other similar industries, have responded by designing private placements that raise capital for EB-5 compliant projects. EB-5 private placement investments are high risk investmentswith a holding period of at least five to seven years and are generally illiquid. The immigrant investor would make such an investment with the placement issuer while simultaneously submitting, typically through their immigration attorney, the EB-5 application to the USCIS.
