The Rhode Island EB-5 Regional Center, Inc. ("RIEB5") received approval December 4, 2014 from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”). Our Regional Center was designed specifically for funding "Made in the U.S.A." manufacturing projects that create permanent jobs within the targeted Rhode Island community, providing a vehicle for foreign investors to obtain employment based U.S. permanent family Visas.
We operate as a private entity with strong relationships and partnership with local, state and federal government. We have adopted standard policies and procedures to assure quality management, regulatory compliance, and the excellent client support required to enable the Center’s initial Capital Investment Project – Quick Fitting Manufacturing (QFM) to engage forty (40) immigrant investors for their advanced manufacturing project. The $20,000,000 USD QFM project is forecast to create a total of 686 jobs.
Since spring 2011, the Quick Fitting leadership team of David Crompton and Frank Kosky had realized that their vision of manufacturing a “Made in USA” brand was best facilitated by creating a Rhode Island EB-5 Regional Center. With encouragement from state government officials, the learning journey began. David and Frank engaged John Cronin, an experienced manufacturing business and civic leader, to develop the detailed plan and to serve as the Center’s COO and to become their founding partner.
Initial market analyses found that the team’s contribution to job creation is best focused on serving all the targeted employment areas within the State of Rhode Island where advanced manufacturing can prosper. Global trends and the team’s trustworthy business network further focused our efforts towards connecting primarily with investors from China. The management team was further enhanced by engaging Shirley Liu as their Market Research Analyst and Huiting Zhuang as Account Manager for the Asian / Pacific market.
In addition to our transparency, our Regional Center is surgically focused on making sure every client investor receives their U.S. family Green Cards; as well as a return on their investment.
We carefully review, vet, then submit all of our manufacturing projects to the USCIS for approval prior to submitting them to our clients. We will never offer an unapproved or un-vetted project.
