Do investors need to be actively involved in the day-to-day activities of Regional Center Projects?
In short, no. According to USCIS regulations, investors acting as limited partners in a limited partnership that conforms to the Uniform Limited Partnership Act are deemed to be sufficiently engaged in the EB-5 project. This means that as a limited partner, investors are not required to actively participate in the management or operation of the new commercial enterprise (NCE) in order to qualify for a Permanent Green Card through the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Regional Centers Program.
