Affiliating with the EB5AN regional center in Texas will benefit your Austin-based EB-5 project in a multitude of ways.

Below are just some of the advantages of affiliation with an EB5AN EB-5 regional center.

1. Raise EB-5 capital immediately anywhere in Austin.

Want to instantly begin raising capital for your EB-5 project anywhere in Austin? Affiliating with EB5AN will allow you to do just that, because our regional center in the state of Texas boasts state-wide coverage. Like all EB5AN’s regional centers, the Texas regional center is U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) approved and listed on the USCIS website.

2. Use indirect job creation to fulfill the EB-5 investment requirement that demands of each EB-5 investor the creation of 10 jobs.

Non-affiliated EB-5 projects depend solely on actual payroll employees, and only those who have been employed for a minimum of 24 months can be counted. Regional center affiliation offers an attractive alternative: you can log direct and indirect job creation, thereby generating higher job creation numbers and thus being able to accumulate a higher amount of capital.

3. Commence the gathering of capital immediately upon affiliation with our EB5AN Texas regional center.

You can begin raising EB-5 capital as soon as your affiliation application is approved. If you’d like to ensure that your application is completed quickly and accurately, allow our team of experts to aid you in the EB-5 regional center affiliation process. Of course, we’ll determine whether your EB-5 project meets the requirements for affiliation with our regional center in Austin, and we’ll also help you identify your project’s levels of predicted job creation and capital tolerance.

Is your Austin EB-5 project located in a targeted employment area?

Because targeted employment area (TEA) designation holds numerous benefits for EB-5 projects in Austin 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 Austin, 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.
