What are the success statistics for EB-5 through Regional Centers?

There is no official or guaranteed success rate for EB-5 petitions filed through Regional Centers. The EB-5 program was created to stimulate investment that generates jobs in the United States, and each application is reviewed individually by USCIS, so citing a fixed approval percentage is misleading.

Regional Centers are entities authorized to pool capital from multiple investors into larger projects, which can make it easier to document job creation by allowing indirect job counting. This does not guarantee approval: the outcome continues to depend on the specific facts of each case.

• The soundness and actual execution of the investment project.
• Proof that the investment created the required jobs.
• The lawful and traceable source of the invested funds.
• Strict compliance with the program requirements.

Be wary of promoters who advertise guaranteed or near-perfect approval rates as a sales pitch, because there is no official statistic that supports that kind of promise. To evaluate a specific project, consult official USCIS sources and seek guidance from a trusted immigration professional.
