FAQs: EB-5 Project Marketing (Part II)

I have been approached frequently by EB-5 regional center clients on how a Chinese or Korean emigration broker would select projects to represent in their markets. I will randomly share some insights next two weeks on this blog. Bookmark the blog, as I typically charge for such insights :), now you can get them for free!

1) Why do Chinese and Korean investors invest in the US through EB-5 program?
There are various personal reasons that Chinese and Korean investors have particular interests in investing through EB-5 regional center program. Main reason is putting their kids in the American educational system such as private high schools and universities. Being a legal resident, kids can go to school at much cheaper tuition, rather than paying foreign student tuition which is typically three times higher than American students. Investing through EB-5 program does not require investors to be educated in the US, or do business in the US. It is regarded the quickest way for high net worth individuals to immigrate to this country,

2) How can we get introduced to Chinese and Korean emigration brokers and agents?
There are a number of ways to get connected with Chinese and Korean emigration agents. The most effective way is to be introduced through industry expert such as our Artisan Business Group, or attend immigration trade shows in China and Korea. Cold calls and email spam should be avoided. You need to value Asian business culture which personal introduction and personal interaction are much appreciated than cold calls.
