Be aware investors: Should I invest in Regional Center or my own project:

Choosing investing in EB5 regional center or in own project seems to be easy. Fear of operating in a completely unknown country is understandable. However, solution sometimes needs to be found to get over the fear if evidence that the investment funds were obtained through lawful means cannot be provided easily. Gift certificate is not sufficient to prove the legality of the funds.  For instance, if the funds is not reflected in the tax return, the petition will be denied.

L1-EB1 does not have such requirement. Therefore, L1-EB1 is simpler path to US for some investors.
