We've long been advocates of creative financing solutions for EB-5 investors. $800K is hard for most folks to come with overnight. That's why it's critical for the industry to come up with creative, investor-friendly financing solutions such as US-based loan programs, SDIRAs, partial investments, and other tax-advantaged/efficient options. Congrats to the Behring Regional Center team. KLDP, LLP Hallie Schechter, J.D. Niral Patel, Esq.

Behring Regional Centers's Unity Lender receives approval from USCIS, cementing the new normal in EB-5 funding strategies.

Thank you to Invest In the USA (IIUSA) for publishing our firm's article "I-956 and I-956F Post-RIA Adjudication Trends: Considerations & Issues for Regional Centers & Issuers Two Years After the RIA". In addition to our investor work, we spend considerable time working with Regional Centers, issuers, and developers on structuring and managing EB-5 financing for projects across the US. Here we highlight some recurring issues that people should be aware of as they begin applying for a new regional central or offering for an EB-5 project and what USCIS is really looking for. USCIS takes its role policing integrity measures seriously and it's best to be prepared.

We're proud to serve on both the Leadership Circle and Editorial Committee of IIUSA. You can check out our article in the latest copy of the Regional Center Business Journal here: https://lnkd.in/ghFXHmse

We've long been advocates for using unsecured loans for EB-5 investments, whether it's in the US or otherwise (so long as it follows Zhang v. USCIS, why not?) That advocacy has been met with equal parts excitement and pushback, the most common one being -- "do you have any approvals?"

The answer is yes. Congratulations to our Indian investor in New Course Enterprises' who used New Course's Unsecured Credit Fund to finance half of their EB-5 investment and received I-526 approval today via the Merced Station student housing EB-5 project. Challenging times demand innovative solutions and we're happy to drive that movement on behalf of our clients. For more information about the legal basis for these strategies, see our previous articles including: https://lnkd.in/gE_p4wbX

USCIS officially announces all Regional Centers will be audited at least once every 5 years as required by the RIA. As part of the audit, Regional Centers will be expected to provide access to books and records relating to Regional Center operations, investor ledgers and flow of funds, and information verifying the accuracy of annual I-956G compliance reports.
