Investment through a USCIS Approved Regional Center
SFM Partnership LLC is a strategic business affiliate of Florida EB5 Investment LLC, a USCIS-designated EB-5 Regional Center. As part of this collaboration, SFM plays a key role in supporting project development, investor relations, and operational execution of EB-5 qualified ventures under the Regional Center’s umbrella.
Through its partnership with Florida EB5 Investment LLC, SFM Partnership LLC helps facilitate targeted job-creating investments in approved projects across Florida, ensuring strict adherence to USCIS guidelines and the highest standards of transparency and compliance. The affiliation strengthens investor confidence by offering structured opportunities within the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, backed by professional oversight and regional expertise.
Together, the two entities are committed to delivering successful outcomes for EB-5 investors, regional economic growth, and timely immigration benefits.
The EB-5 Visa offers foreign nationals and their immediate families a path to the U.S. Green Card through a minimum investment of $800,000 in a job-creating U.S. enterprise. This investment must create or preserve at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers.
The EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 was enacted to enhance transparency and protect investors by requiring regional centers to submit audited financials, regular updates, and detailed background checks on involved individuals, reducing the risk of fraud and misuse of funds.
The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program offers one of the most direct and secure paths to U.S. permanent residency. Here are the key reasons why thousands of global investors choose the EB-5 route for their future:
The EB-5 program allows investors, their spouses, and unmarried children under 21 to obtain U.S. Green Cards.
A long-term solution for those seeking global mobility, stability, and opportunity to move to US along with their Families.
Most EB-5 investments are made through Regional Centers, which handle the day-to-day management of the project.
Children of EB-5 investors are eligible for in-state tuition at U.S. public colleges and universities.
Investments are made through USCIS-approved Regional Centers, offering legal oversight and structured compliance.
After 5 years of permanent residency, EB-5 investors become eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship.
An EB-5 regional center is a USCIS-approved entity that sponsors investment projects under the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. It allows foreign investors to qualify for a U.S. green card by investing $800,000 in job-creating projects. The key advantage of investing through a regional center is the ability to count direct, indirect, and induced jobs, making it easier to meet the requirement of creating 10 U.S. jobs per investor. Regional centers also manage and report the use of funds and job creation progress to USCIS.
EB-5 investors can choose between direct investment or investing through a regional center. While both require the minimum investment, regional centers offer more flexibility by allowing both direct and indirect job creation, making it easier to meet the job requirement. Direct investments count only direct jobs and require investors to invest directly in the business, while regional center investments often use a loan or equity model involving multiple entities.
Investing in a regional center offers several benefits over direct investment, making it an attractive option for many investors.
Here are some of the key benefits of investing in an EB5 regional center:
The EB-5 Regional Center Program has played a crucial role in driving foreign investment into the U.S., significantly benefiting the economy. It offers foreign investors the convenience of passive involvement in projects without the need for direct management or geographic proximity. This has simplified the investment process and increased foreign capital inflow.
The program has particularly boosted U.S. real estate development, with EB-5 funding often available at below-market rates, enabling developers to undertake larger and quicker projects. This, in turn, has generated jobs and contributed to local economic growth. Given the challenges posed by high-interest rates, EB-5 funding is becoming an increasingly attractive option for developers.
Additionally, the program fosters job creation, particularly in construction, and attracts high-net-worth individuals who contribute to innovation, economic growth, and community support.
EB-5 regional centers offer an excellent opportunity to obtain a U.S. Green Card or raise funds for development projects.
