Why 3 Mistakes EB‑5 Investors Make Before Filing Can Cost Them Everything—And How to Avoid Them
Hey friends, let’s get real for a second. The EB‑5 process is a golden opportunity, but I see smart investors sabotage themselves all the time by making the same avoidable mistakes before filing. I’m talking life‑changing money and timelines derailed just because no one told them these truths.
Here are the three big ones I keep seeing—and what you can do differently starting today:
💥 Mistake #1: Not Locking Down a Proven Regional Center
Jumping in with a center that sounds good but has no track record is like building a mansion on quicksand.Avoid it by: digging deep into their history, approvals, and actual job‑creation numbers. Don’t settle for promises—demand proof.
💥 Mistake #2: Ignoring Source‑of‑Funds Documentation
You know what USCIS loves? Crystal‑clear money trails. You know what they reject? Mystery funds.Avoid it by: working with professionals who know how to structure and document every penny. Get your paper trail airtight before you file.
💥 Mistake #3: Waiting Too Long to Start the Process
Visas are capped. Delays equal missed windows. Every week you hesitate is a week someone else claims your spot.Avoid it by: scheduling your consult and starting the paperwork now—not later. Early movers win in EB‑5.
