USAdvisors.org is a Registered Investment Advisory (RIA) firm that specializes in performing risk analysis and due diligence on EB-5 visa investments for investors and their attorneys and is the source for news, projects and information about EB-5 Regional Centers and their investment projects. We are analysts, economists, accountants, statisticians and mathematicians that produce EB-5 Regional Center project comparative analysis reports for foreign national investors based on topics covering job creation methodology, the strategic plan, management, risk factors, risk mitigation, safety, return, exit strategy, escrow and industry overview among many others.

We have developed an approach to quantitatively assess the risks involved with the two key questions of the EB-5 project investment decision:

1. What is the probability that the jobs will be created within the time alloted and that those jobs will be acceptable to USCIS?

2. What is the probability that principal will be returned at term? Is the exit strategy clearly defined and achievable?

This empirical analysis provides the foreign national investor with the information they need from an independent, professional resource that will help guide them to making the best possible investment decision for them and their family. We also provide project awareness to qualified accredited and suitable foreign national investors, AILA immigration attorneys, overseas agents and other professionals who work with high net worth foreign nationals interested in investing and obtaining residency through the EB-5 investment program. We have the only online EB-5 project database in the world: http://eb5info.com/home/projects.

This process provides information to qualified investors and the professionals that assist them within SEC regulations and guidance. We film and produce online media to educate and bring awareness of various investment projects to foreign national investors and their attorneys and investment advisors.

We were the first firm to film a comprehensive look at the program in our 2007 DVD: “EB-5: The Regional Center Story” that is available to potential investors highlighting the work of several of the Regional Centers and projects for which they are seeking investors.
