In a strategic move that is aimed at creating a new brand of Indian investors the U.S. Immigration Fund has decided to set up\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>initial offices in\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Indian cities<\/span><\/span>, to include both Mumbai and Delhi<\/span><\/span>.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mastroianni, who is the co-founder of USIF,\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>believes that India will be a significant country for EB-5\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>visas<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0given its<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a01.3 billion\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>population\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>with<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0fairly\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>large\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>and growing\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>middle and upper class\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>that is\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>highly educated and\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>represents a\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>sophisticated demographic<\/span><\/span>.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153<\/span><\/span>Over the last 8 years the usage of\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>EB-5 visas from native Chinese c<\/span><\/span>itizens has grown more than 2,000%, accounting for 77% of the 10,000 EB-5 visas issued per year.

T<\/span><\/span>he EB-5 program\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>was created by the US Congress\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>in 1990 to enab<\/span><\/span>le high-net-worth foreign inves<\/span><\/span>tors to obtain a U.S. visa by investing in a U.S.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>business in a manner that would<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0benefit the\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>U.S economy by<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0creating jobs<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0To qualify under the EB-5 program, the foreign investor\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>has to\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>invest $1 million in a qualified new\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>commercial business<\/span><\/span>. The<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0amount is reduced to<\/span><\/span>$500,000 if the new\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>commercial business is located in\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>a Targeted Employment Area (TEA)<\/span><\/span>.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Separately, USIF also organizes investment vehicles into which accredited investors, family offices and qualified institutional buyers can invest. Typically, these are structured as\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>preferred equity investments and are attractive to investors seeking to participate in real estate deals with significant potential upside.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Citing<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0numbers<\/span><\/span>, Mastroianni pointed out, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153From 1980 to 2016, the Indian immigrant population increased ten-fold, from 206,000 to 2.05 million, roughly doubling every decade. Today, Indian citizens are the top recipients of temporary high-skilled worker H-1B visas, accounting\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>for a significant portion of<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0H-1B petitions approved by USCIS. India is also the second-largest sending country of international students to<\/span><\/span>the United States after China.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Indian population in the US has surged since the 1990s to become the second-largest immigrant group in the country after\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Mexicans<\/span><\/span><\/a>, and ahead of those born in\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>China<\/span><\/span><\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

U.S. Immigration Fund (USIF) organizes and manages new commercial businesses into which sophisticated foreign individuals invest for the purpose of obtaining a U.S. Visa under the EB-5 Program. USIF is a leader in the EB-5 Regional\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Center<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0Program, with world-renowned investment opportunities from New York City to Los\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Angeles, California and over 6,0<\/span><\/span>00 clients from across the globe.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The benefits of the EB-5 program are easy to see. U.S. businesses receive much needed\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/a>capital at competitive rates and the foreign inves<\/span><\/span>tor receives an ownership inter<\/span><\/span>est in a U.S. business that<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0will make a loan or investment\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>that affords them an opportunity to qualify for an expedited green card<\/span><\/span>. The EB-5 program has already attracted billions of dollars ($15 billion since 2008)<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0into emerging and expanding American businesses, and continues to provide a low cost, viable source of business financing.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Andrew R Graves, Director of Business Development and Head of India, is leading the expansion into all regions of India. Not to forget the fact that USIF expects to have 250 investors by year end and their expectations have been greatly surpassed.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The number of Indians applying for the EB-5 program is expected to more than double this year. Because of this growth, USIF will be holding events throughout India in the coming months in cities including Bangalore, Chennai, New Delhi, Mumbai,\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Hydrebad<\/span><\/span>, and more. These seminars will allow potential investors in India to speak with expert immigration attorneys and regional center representatives as well as hear about specific projects that are currently available to be invested in.
