Leaf Fischer Investment Group (LFIG), headquartered in Miami, Florida, is an EB-5 Regional Center that earned its designation in December 2012. LFIG functions with a single objective and that is “to provide foreign investors with sound investment opportunities, while fostering economic growth and job creation in our country.” The fact that LFIG has over 25 years of combined immigration law experience makes the professionals at the regional center experts in the eyes of their clients and partners in other regional centers. This regional center has worked on projects with BirchLEAF Miami 31, LLC, the regional center that was responsible for providing finances for the construction of the University of Miami Life Science and Technology building.
Leaf Fischer Investment Group Regional Center specializes in building regional centers around “shovel-ready projects.” Specifically, LFIG invests in regional centers that house projects that are available or ready for EB-5 funding—this sets LFIG apart from other regional centers. Because it is not constrained or bounded with designated locations, it has the freedom to choose the best projects for foreign investors.
Leaf Fischer Investment Group Regional Center is bounded by the guidelines provided by USCIS. All of its transactions and deals are built around the framework of the EB-5 program. The professionals behind LFIG are aware of the complicated processes involved in dealing with immigration laws. LFIG tries to make it easy for clients by providing experts who are compatible with the needs of each client and who can help them wade through all the hurdles of immigration law. Because of the regional center’s wide scope, LFIG can look for suitable projects that will match the individual investor’s profile.
