A Modern Perspective on Direct EB-5 Investment and Job-Creating U.S. Businesses

The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program allows eligible foreign nationals to pursue U.S. permanent residency through a qualifying investment in a U.S. business that creates jobs for U.S. workers.

Since the implementation of the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act (RIA), greater emphasis has been placed on:

• Transparency
   
• Job creation credibility
   
• Proper capital deployment
   
• Ongoing oversight
   

As a result, investors must be increasingly discerning about how EB-5 investments are structured and operated.

Not all EB-5 investments are structured the same way.

Traditional pooled or development-driven models may rely on:

• Indirect job calculations
   
• Long construction timelines
   
• Limited operational visibility
   

By contrast, direct, operator-led EB-5 structures are designed around businesses where:

• Job creation is embedded in day-to-day operations
   
• Capital is deployed into active business functions
   
• Oversight and reporting are integral to execution
   

This distinction is central to how modern EB-5 strategies are evaluated.

We Got You Global supports direct EB-5 frameworks involving operating U.S. businesses, including service-based sectors such as home health care, where staffing and service delivery are core to the business model.

At a high level, the WGYG philosophy emphasizes:

• Direct job creation through W-2 employment
   
• Operator-led execution
   
• Conservative, documentation-driven compliance practices
   
• Clear separation between education, offering materials, and legal documentation
   

WGYG does not replace immigration counsel, investment advisors, or legal documentation. All EB-5 decisions are made by investors in consultation with their professional advisors.

• Provide educational context on direct EB-5 investment structures
   
• Help visitors understand key EB-5 considerations post-RIA
   
• Offer access to informational materials for further review
   

• Offer investments
   
• Guarantee immigration outcomes or timelines
   
• Present financial projections or return expectations
   
• Replace formal offering documents or legal advice
   

All investments, if any, are governed exclusively by executed legal agreements.
