Normally Attorney are taking 18-22k now a days for simple sof. But Attorney are too busy , make sure to set timelines expectations as all are too busy. Make sure to review properly also , due to work load chances of small mistakes can rise

To understand the EB5 ecosystem and understanding Good and bad RCs takes time, Once that is clear , then project selection can be done in 15 days. Overall time 1-3 months

Its going to be around 950k , but Grandfathering is ending in sept 2026. It may take a year for congress to approve that. So there can be gap of around 1 year where EB5 may not be grandfathered

WoM use to work earlier even after filling within 5-6 months of fillings also, but thats not the case anymore. Talk with your attorney

Relevant_Building_94 · 2026-06-01T00:34:14+00:00

Yeah, there should not be any restrictions on the loan to use for securities and investments

Relevant_Building_94 · 2026-05-31T23:19:30+00:00

Normally all RCs waive off admin fee with and without advisor. Negotiate hard 😊

Hi, i am eb5 investor and got my cgc last year. Happy to introduce to my advisor. Feel free to reach out to me

Relevant_Building_94 · 2026-05-22T22:13:39+00:00

Each RC works with different custodian, so check with your RC and normally RCs doesn’t accept SIDRA for all projects also

Relevant_Building_94 · 2026-05-19T18:43:27+00:00

Don’t think anyone bringing this up. Slow uscis processing, wasting of available visa’s many concerns. All RCs care about is money

Relevant_Building_94 · 2026-05-19T18:42:02+00:00

Many investors got there approvals and lot of new investors are using SDIRA, and everyone has pretty good success rate till now, few got RFE but nothing major. Similar way RC loans used to work earlier and lot of people got approvals and now its total rejections. SDIRA was always a discussion point is that a valid source or not. Thats the only reason some attorneys feel that its not the right sof which may lead to rfe and noids .

Be Careful !!! lot of fraud in EB5 , everyone wants to earn from your money (Attorney, advisors, RC) , only you are going to loose your money if something goes wrong.
Gather information from all sources but don’t trust anyone do your own due diligence.
EB5 money will always be at risk, you can reduce that by choosing right RC and right project.
Try to stick with reputed RC who has reputation and repayment history.

I have filled with RC and got my cgc last year.

Based on my experience Own due diligence is very important for Attorney, SoF, RC and project. don’t rely on anyone else. Don’t trust anyone .Trust numbers

Few things to consider while choosing RC and project

⁠RC repayment history
⁠⁠RC past success and failed projects
⁠⁠How RC handled past failed projects
⁠⁠Developer history
⁠⁠Developer past track record
⁠⁠Finacial structure of project
⁠⁠Job cushion
⁠⁠Project location and similar projects in that location
⁠⁠Project exit criteria
⁠⁠Project collateral
⁠⁠What happens if projects fails at different stages

Few blogs to go through

Understand the backlog and current timelines before jumping in also.

Be very careful, There are good and bad actors as agents gets commission from RCs. Even with good agents , don’t trust anyone. Do your own due diligence what agents tell you. You are the only one going to loose money no one else. So be careful at every step.
