Why rent our Virginia regional center for your EB-5 project in Fairfax?

When you affiliate your project with our regional center, you’ll take advantage of…

1. The ability to raise EB-5 capital for a project developed anywhere in Fairfax

Every one of EB5AN’s U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)–approved regional centers is listed on the USCIS website, including our Virginia regional center. Affiliation with this regional center will allow you to raise EB-5 investment capital for your project anywhere in Virginia, including any area of Fairfax.

2. An incentive for EB-5 investors to contribute funds to your project

Since the EB-5 program requirements specify that the investor must create a minimum of 10 full-time jobs of a 24-month tenure, projects that make fulfilling the requirement easy are more attractive to investors. EB-5 regional center projects are allowed to count both directly and indirectly created jobs toward the requirement. Unaffiliated direct investment projects can count only direct jobs.

3. The assistance of a team of experts to expedite the regional center affiliation process

Becoming an affiliate doesn’t have to be a long process. We’ll work side by side with you to assess your project’s potential to create jobs and support EB-5 capital, and its suitability for sponsorship by our Fairfax regional center.

Once your regional center affiliation is complete, you can begin raising EB-5 capital without delay through our Fairfax EB-5 regional center.

The form that must be submitted to USCIS to create a new EB-5 regional center, Form I-924, requires detailed documentation from several disciplines, including legal documents, economic reports, and business plans.

Is your project in a targeted employment area?

Because targeted employment area (TEA) designation holds numerous benefits for EB-5 projects in Fairfax and other cities, it is important to understand both the benefits of and the USCIS process for TEA designation. To determine whether your EB-5 project location falls within a TEA, please consult our free EB-5 TEA map, which includes data for the entire United States. All you need to do is to enter the project address—the rest of the process is automated.

The EB5AN TEA map relies on the most recently published versions of two data sets, namely American Community Survey (ACS) five-year data and Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data. It assesses TEA eligibility based on four calculation methodologies USCIS accepts—three related to calculating unemployment rates and one related to qualification as a rural TEA. Unemployment rates are calculated using (1) American Community Survey (ACS) five-year unemployment data by census tract, (2) the census-share methodology, which is based on a combination of ACS data and county-level BLS data, and (3) BLS county-level data for TEA determination on a county-wide level. To determine rural qualification, population and geographical data are considered. To qualify as a TEA, a project site needs to qualify under only one calculation method.

A TEA can also be created by combining directly adjacent census tracts and considering the weighted average unemployment rate. The EB5AN TEA map performs this function automatically.

If you confirm that your EB-5 regional center is located in a TEA in Fairfax, you can also use the EB5AN TEA map to instantly download a free TEA Qualification Report that shows all the data and calculations that support TEA qualification for your project location. Should you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact the EB5AN team by phone at 1-800-288-9138 or via e-mail at info@eb5an.com. We promise to respond within 24 hours.
