When you make an EB-5 investment, the EB-5 project could create the required number of jobs for U.S. workers or the EB-5 project may not create the required number of jobs. This is the reality of seeking U.S. permanent residence based on the EB-5 option.

Schedule a Free Consultation with Top EB5 Visa AttorneysAll EB-5 investments are required to be "at risk." If the risks were disclosed in the PPM and there is no evidence of fraud, then you may not have remedies. If the project misled you as to the nature of the investment and risk, then there may be a claim.

Securities AttorneysDepending on whether there was negligence or fraud on the part of your project, you may be able to pursue litigation. Speak with a securities attorney to understand what options, if any, you may have.

If it failed because of bad luck or even poor planning, that may not be sufficient for a cause of action. If you suspect fraud or self dealing, including commingling funds, then you may have a reason to sue.
