EB-5 immigrant investor program is the most popular option for participating in this program through a USCIS-approved regional center. These centers sponsor investment projects and assist investors in meeting the program’s job creation and investment requirements. Many regional centers have achieved strong reputations built on transparency, successful project completion, and investor satisfaction in 2025.
Suppose you are planning to go the EB-5 route. In that case, we offer immigration services to help you understand your options and make an informed decision about choosing a reputable regional center to work with to get an EB-5 visa.
The Importance of Regional Centers for EB-5 Investors
Real estate development (regional center) investments simplify the EB-5 process. Regional center projects are the only time you can count direct and indirect job creation, making meeting the ten-job requirement easier than direct EB-5 investments. These centers also take care of much of the day-to-day project management so you don’t need to be hands-on running a business.
As a result, a well-chosen regional center can increase your success rate. You are looking for a center that gives you clear reporting has experience getting it right with the immigration requirements and sponsors financially sound projects.
Our team can help you understand what features to look for and weigh the potential best options for your goals. If you’re not sure where to start, book a consultation with us.
Regional Centers to Watch in 2025
There are a few regional centers that stand out in 2025. One of the oldest names is Civitas Capital Group, which is from Texas. Civitas has a long history of supporting hotel, real estate, and infrastructure developments. They closely cooperate with investors and have always been very transparent throughout the years.
Another firm with a solid reputation is EB5 Capital, which is based in Washington, D.C., and has projects in various states including hospitality and mixed-use developments. Many investors have their eyes set on them due to their steady approvals and success stories.
CanAm Enterprises is based in New York and has raised more than $3 billion for over 60 projects. They specialize in a long-term approach to sustainability and customs regulation with the USCIS. Their agent support team will follow up with updates and guidance throughout the process, which many investors find reassuring.
For a regional center that specializes in sustainability and tech, California’s Golden Gate Global may be a good match. Their projects often appeal to investors looking to have their capital do good while also seeking a green card.

What Is the Cost of an EB-5 Investment in 2025?
The minimum EB-5 investment amount still stands at $1,050,000 in 2025. If you invest in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA), which covers rural and high-unemployment areas, you will be able to qualify for a reduced investment amount, which is $800,000. The attraction of more investors: With most regional centers focused on TEA projects, many applicants just do the lower-cost option!
In addition to the investment, you’ll need to factor in administrative fees charged by regional centers. Guardianship fees vary between $50,000 and $80,000, depending on the project and the center. You will also incur legal and filing expenses. Overall, you should expect to spend approximately $15,000 to 25,000 on attorney fees, government filing fees (including the I-526E petition), as well as translations if applicable.
Prices can vary dramatically, so it’s wise to plan carefully. We can help you project your overall costs and select a project within your means. Start your journey with our EB-5 visa services if you think you are ready to discuss your investment and immigration options.
