Is my EB-5 investment guaranteed?

The answer is no, because the EB-5 program requires that the investor make an “at risk” investment, in which the investor cannot receive any guarantees of repayment or any redemption rights, and there must be a risk of loss and a chance for gain. CMB goes to great lengths to try to minimize or mitigate risk in our EB-5 offerings, while still maintaining the at-risk requirement. Prospective EB-5 investors should be extremely cautious of any regional center that indicates the individual investor's EB-5 investment is guaranteed, as that is prohibited and would result in a denial of the petitioner’s immigration petition.
