From Investor to Advisor
After investing $800,000 in a job-creating U.S. project, Ashok secured permanent residency for his family through the EB-5 programme. Seeing the stress and uncertainty firsthand, he founded EB5 Resources, a FINRA-registered advisory focused on clear, honest guidance from someone who’s been through it himself.
The EB-5 visa stands out from other immigration routes. You don’t need a job offer, employer sponsorship, or a
specific background. It’s designed for qualified investors who want a secure way to build a future in the United States.
By investing $800,000 in a U.S.-based project that creates jobs, you may qualify for permanent residency, not just for yourself, but also for your immediate family: With one $800K investment, you can secure:
- A green card for yourself
- A green card for your spouse
- Green cards for your unmarried children under 21
The EB-5 programme is a great option even if you're already living in the U.S. on another visa:
- H-1B visa holders can apply and receive an Employment Authorisation Document (EAD) in as little as six months. This opens up the freedom to change jobs, explore new opportunities, and remove dependency on employer sponsorship.
- International students can apply through EB-5 without needing to go through the traditional OPT process, giving them a faster, more stable path to permanent residency.
While the benefits of the EB-5 programme are strong, many investors don’t realise that USCIS does not do due diligence on the projects or the people managing them. That means:
- No review of a project’s financial health
- No vetting of the project leaders or developers
- No guarantees on returns or outcomes
Why you should work with EB-5 Resources?
There are close to 700 Regional Centers currently registered with USCIS. Not all of them have projects, quite a few have never successfully completed a full EB-5 project lifecycle, and many lack proficiency in the EB-5 process and regulations. In fact, the USCIS website categorically states:
USCIS does not do financial due diligence on EB-5 projects, determine project viability, or screen project principals for creditworthiness or experience. USCIS’s only mandate is to ensure that the required investment has been invested in the EB-5 project and at least 10 jobs per investor have been (or have the potential to be) created.
Similarly, while immigration lawyers can advise on the legal criteria of the petition and program, they are not trained to give advice on the financial aspects of an EB-5 project.
Pursuing EB-5 requires risk and involves a substantial investment. Working with an EB-5 advisor to complete an objective, independent analysis of not only the project, but the professionals involved in every step of the process is imperative to protecting your investment of both money and time and giving you the most viable route to a green card.

How Exactly We Prepare You For EB-5
Explore all the wide variety of focused services we offer to support you in your EB-5 journey
On every EB-5 project we recommend, we first conduct a rigorous, multi-layered evaluation to ensure that every EB-5 investment opportunity meets the highest standards of compliance, security, and long-term viability. We evaluate financial, operational, and execution risks to assess the likelihood of capital return and immigration success.
We perform comprehensive due diligence on project sponsors and key personnel to validate experience, credibility, and track record. We assess project viability under current and projected economic conditions to ensure resilience across market cycles. We analyze the project's capital structure to ensure EB-5 investors occupy a secure position with clear repayment pathways.
I connect you with top EB-5 immigration attorneys who offer a free consultation tailored to your needs. While I have deep experience in EB-5, legal advice is best provided by an attorney. The attorneys I work with have filed hundreds of I-526E petitions and are known for their thorough, diligent preparation—essential for petitions that often exceed 500 pages.
I always advise clients to begin their tax planning immediately after filing the I-526E petition. Once you become a conditional green card holder, you gain the full benefits—and responsibilities—of U.S. permanent residency, including global tax obligations. This means you must report your worldwide income. Early planning helps ensure compliance and avoids unexpected tax consequences.
Having gone through EB-5 process myself, I understand how intimidating the interview can be. To help you, I offer mock interview sessions for you and your family ahead of your interview. Complementing your attorney’s legal guidance, I’ll help you rehearse key points about your investment, advise on appropriate body language and attire, and work with you to thoughtfully prepare your responses to the visa officer’s questions.
I actively monitor construction and job creation progress across all of my clients’ EB-5 projects, conducting regular site visits to verify development milestones and interview project team members firsthand. By tracking potential delays and performing ongoing due diligence, I stay alert to any changes that could impact project completion or compromise the security of your investment.
I remain committed to supporting my clients through every stage—even when challenges arise. Despite the fact that most EB-5 cases proceed smoothly, USCIS decisions can be influenced by policy shifts or political pressures. Whether you're facing delays, a project issue, or an unexpected denial, I don’t walk away. I work alongside top legal professionals to help triage the situation. I am relentless in advocating for your immigration and investment success.
Your EB-5 investment is not a single one step process. From initial project evaluation to investment to the various steps of the EB-5 process and finally to repayment, I will be by your side.
