Affiliation with our New Jersey EB-5 regional center is advantageous for your EB-5 project.

Here are just three reasons to rent the EB5AN EB-5 regional center:

1. Regional center affiliation gives you immediate access to EB-5 capital for your project.

You can raise EB-5 investment funds for your development as soon as your project is affiliated with an EB-5 regional center. Whether your EB-5 project is within Jersey City proper or in one of its suburbs, it’s within the purview of our EB5AN regional center that covers New Jersey. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has approved all of EB5AN’s EB-5 regional centers, and you can find every one of them on the USCIS website.

2. Regional center affiliation can help you recruit EB-5 investors for your Jersey City EB-5 project.

Since the EB-5 program focuses on job creation, any project that promises to create a large number of jobs will be alluring to investors. Regional center projects lead to higher job creation numbers because their jobs are calculated on the basis of their wider economic impact rather than only their payroll employees.

This ability to count indirectly created jobs toward the EB-5 job creation requirement is why most EB-5 investors fund regional center projects rather than investing directly. Because most EB-5 capital flows through regional centers, Jersey City developers in search of such capital can acquire more of it by recruiting investors through our EB-5 regional center in Jersey City.

We can also help you obtain targeted employment area designation for your project.

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

Jersey City and its economy are growing.

Liberty State Park and New Jersey City University are just two of the many points of interest for visitors and students who come to Jersey City. As a major U.S. banking and finance center, it has earned the nickname Wall Street West. It has also been called the most ethnically diverse city in America and has a long history of economic contributions by immigrants. By endorsing the EB-5 Regional Center Program, Jersey City has provided another way to continue that history.

EB5AN’s New Jersey EB-5 regional center covers Hudson County, including Hoboken, Weehawken, and Harrison. EB-5 investors in pursuit of U.S. permanent residency can invest through this USCIS-approved EB-5 regional center.
