Global Immigration Partners PLLC (GIP), a leading international immigration law firm, has released a new in-depth guide titled “What Are the Risks of EB-5 Investments, and How Can I Evaluate a Safe Project?”

Washington, DC, United States, December 8, 2025 — Global Immigration Partners Releases Comprehensive Guide on EB-5 Investment Risks and How to Evaluate Safe Projects

Global Immigration Partners PLLC (GIP), a leading international immigration law firm, has released a new in-depth guide titled “What Are the Risks of EB-5 Investments, and How Can I Evaluate a Safe Project?” The publication aims to equip prospective EB-5 investors with the clarity and due-diligence framework needed to navigate both the financial and immigration-related risks inherent in the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program.

As global interest in the EB-5 program continues to rise, so does the need for transparent, practical guidance. GIP’s newly released analysis outlines the most common concerns investors face, including capital risk, project credibility, job-creation requirements, and repayment structures.

EB-5 Investments Carry Real Financial Exposure

The report highlights that EB-5 investments must be placed “at risk” to qualify for immigration benefits, meaning that capital loss is possible. A project’s failure to complete construction, generate expected revenue, or obtain necessary financing can jeopardize both the investment and the investor’s immigration goals.

The firm emphasizes that many EB-5 offerings involve subordinated loans or equity positions, placing EB-5 investors behind senior lenders in repayment priority. As a result, careful examination of a project’s financial foundation is essential.

Evaluating Project Credibility Is Essential

To help investors make informed decisions, the report outlines clear criteria for assessing a project’s credibility. These include:

  • The developer’s track record with similar projects
  • Past investor repayment history
  • The experience and transparency of the Regional Center
  • Quality and clarity of offering documents
  • Availability of independent due-diligence reports

According to GIP, transparent documentation and a proven history of project execution reduce uncertainty and strengthen investor confidence.

Financial Protections That Strengthen Investor Positioning

Although EB-5 investments cannot offer guaranteed returns or guaranteed repayment, certain project structures can help mitigate risk. These include:

  • Senior or secured loan positions
  • Completion guarantees or fixed-price construction contracts
  • Projects already under construction
  • Balanced capital stacks where EB-5 funds form only a minority portion
  • Conservative job-creation estimates with significant job cushions

These safeguards help to stabilize the investment environment and reduce exposure to construction or operational disruptions.

Immigration Risk vs. Repayment Risk: Two Distinct Challenges

A central theme of the guide is the importance of separating immigration-related risk from financial risk. Even if a project generates enough jobs for investors to obtain permanent residency, repayment of capital is not assured. Conversely, a financially strong project may still fall short on job creation if economic assumptions are unrealistic or spending is insufficient.

The firm recommends evaluating each risk separately to gain a clearer picture of a project’s overall viability.

GIP’s Due-Diligence Checklist for Safer EB-5 Decisions

The publication concludes with a practical checklist that investors can use when comparing EB-5 offerings. Key factors include:

  1. Strong developer experience
  2. Project progress and construction status
  3. Capital stack strength and investor positioning
  4. Collateral availability
  5. Job cushion size and job-creation methodology
  6. Independent feasibility analyses
  7. Transparent legal and financial documentation
  8. Realistic market assumptions

This framework aims to give investors a structured, comprehensive approach to evaluating EB-5 opportunities.
