The Congress of the U.S.A. made the EB-5 Program in 1990 to bring new investment capital to the country to create new jobs for U.S. workers. The purpose of the EB-5 Program is to promote the immigration of people who can help create ten (10) jobs for U.S. workers through their investment of capital into the U.S. economy.
Immigrants that invest their capital in job-creating businesses in the U.S.A. receive conditional permanent resident status in the United States for a two-year period. After two years, once the immigrants have satisfied the conditions of the EB-5 Program, the conditions are removed and the immigrants become unconditional lawful permanent residents of the United States. In 1993, the Congress added the “Immigrant Investor Pilot Program” designed to further encourage immigrant investment within designated Regional Centers to thereby create ten (10) direct and or indirect, and or induced jobs for U.S. Workers, making job creation per se more broad. Universal Connections USA
The EB-5 Program, including the Regional Center aspect, is based on three elements:
(1) the immigrant’s investment of capital,
(2) in a new commercial enterprise, and (3) that creates jobs
“Capital” is defined broadly to include many different ways for an individual to make a contribution. “Capital” means cash, equipment, inventory, other tangible property, cash equivalents, and indebtedness secured by assets owned by the immigrant, provided the alien is personally liable and the assets of the new commercial enterprise upon which the petition is based are not used to secure any of the indebtedness. 8 C.F.R. § 204.6(e). All assets must be shown to have been acquired directly or indirectly by lawful means, including evidence identifying source of capital. 8 C.F.R. § 204.6(j)(3)(i)-(iv). The EB-5 Program requires the capital to be invested. “Invest” is to contribute capital 8 C.F.R. § 204.6(e), meaning that the capital is placed in business and it is at risk, hence the immigrant investor must show he or she has invested or is actively in the process of investing the capital and it is at risk for the purpose of generating a return. “Capital must thus be committed into the business and or into an escrow account with a bank to be committed into the business upon the happening of an event, such as the filing and or approval of the immigrant’s petition with the United States Citizen and Immigration

The amount of capital to be Invested by statute governing the EB-5 Program is $1,000,000 in capital in a new commercial enterprise that creates not fewer than ten jobs 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b)(5)(C)(i). An exception exists if the immigrant investor invests his or her capital in a new commercial enterprise that is principally doing business in, and creates jobs in, a “targeted employment area. A “targeted employment area” is a rural area or an area that has experienced unemployment of a rate of 150 percent of the national average rate. In such a case, the immigrant investor must invest a minimum of only $500,000 in capital 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b)(5)(C)(ii ). Congress expressly provided for a reduced investment amount in a rural area or an area of high unemployment in order to enhance investment in business in areas of greatest need. 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b)(5)(B)(i); 8 C.F.R. §204.6(j)(6)(i), (ii).
A “commercial enterprise” is broadly defined to include different forms of business structures that create jobs as follows: Any for-profit activity formed for the ongoing conduct of lawful business 8 C.F.R. § 204.6(e). Examples include: A sole proprietorship, partnership (whether limited or general), a holding company, a joint venture, a corporation, a business trust, or other entity that may be publicly or privately owned.
For EB5 purposes, the immigrant investor is to maintain more than a passive role in regard to the investment in the enterprise 8 C.F.R. § 204.6(j)(5). To show that the immigrant investor is or will be engaged in the exercise of day-to-day managerial control or in the exercise of policy formulation, the immigrant investor should have a position in the new enterprise, for instance be a corporate officer or a member of the board of directors, if the new enterprise is a partnership, either limited or general, the immigrant investor should be a limited partner.

“Job creation” in the EB-5 Program requires that the immigrant investor invest the required amount of capital in a new commercial enterprise in the United States that “will create full-time positions for not fewer than ten (10) qualifying employees 8 C.F.R. § 204.6(j). An “employee” is defined as follows: s an individual who provides services or labor for the new commercial enterprise and who receives wages or other remuneration directly from the new commercial enterprise 8 C.F.R. § 204.6(e). The definition of “qualifying employee” does not include the immigrant investor himself or herself , the immigrant investor’s spouse, sons, or daughters, or any nonimmigrant alien 8 C.F.R. § 204.6(e).
“Full-time employment” is defined as employment of a qualified employee by the new commercial enterprise in a position that requires a minimum of 35 working hours per week. Universal Connections USA
Once the immigrant investor is shown to have invested or be in the active process of investing the required amount of capital, Form I526, along with supporting documentation, is filed with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service, for processing and approval of conditional permanent residence in the USA. Within two years, upon completion of the investment, the condition is removed with the filing of Form I – 894, upon the approval of which the permanent Green Card is issued to the immigrant investor and his family. Throughout this process, the immigrant investor retains independent legal counsel as well as said counsel’s recommended tax advisor so as to further assure the investor is both advised and protected in all aspects, from beginning of this process to completion. Garry A. Hamud, Attorney at Law (California Bar # 55695), of the Law Offices of Garry A. Hamud, with offices in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, with over thirty (30) years of immigration experience, is one, lead Attorney available and familiar with this development, including all aspects thereof and interested parties.

RC _name______________ utilizes its USCIS approved EB5 immigrant investment and Visa Program to facilitate the overall re-vitalization of what is essentially the central business district of Las Vegas, Nevada, including but not limited to the new Downtown Grand Hotel and Resort, along with nineteen onsite and or nearby businesses. In that this development is in the national, state, county, and city’s public interest, __________ enjoys substantial governmental support for its activities and, at the same time, is able to and is working closely with one of the nation’s premiere real estate infrastructure companies in America, the CIM Group, on all aspects of this new and important investment project. RC ______________’s own investment fund, to be raised and limited to approximately $120,000,000.00, all from sophisticated investors outside of the U.S.A., is intended to provide to the CIM Group and this development some but not all of the required funding, on a loan basis, with substantial other monies coming from governmental and or other private funds as well as the CIM Group. The CIM Group itself has committed and invested approximately $500,000,000.00 of capital resources under its control toward the revitalization of Las Vegas, Nevada. The principal element of this CIM Group development, being the Downtown Grand Hotel and Resort, is in receipt of all the required licenses and permits for development and construction, and it is actually building out now, with a projected completion date of September 2014.

In that CIM Group fully understands its business and the EB5 process, and the fact that time is money, it has provided for the early release of any and all investment monies committed to this project, with a preferred rate of return back to the investors, commencing upon receipt by it of said funds. Consistent with this sound business philosophy, the CIM Group also has funds approximating $2.6 billion dollars available for refund to any investor of all of his or her investment should he or she not receive an approval from the USCIS of the Form I-526. This is likewise important because the current processing time for approval of the Form I-526 is eight (8) months, and neither the project nor the investors can defer participation in this project for that long of a period of time. RC_____________’s investment structure, all on a secured / first lien, and pooling of capital on a loan basis, as referenced herein, is designed to provide safety and security to all immigrant investors as well as important funding for a core infrastructure development in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada.
All of the financial aspects of the development per se, detailed information of and about all the participants, including CIM Group, the overall development itself, the step-by-step processes involved, timeframes, milestones, funding, loan terms and conditions, promised rates of return of and on investment, security agreements, projections, forecasts, and job creation – direct, indirect, and induced, are all set forth in the herein below Section entitled Business Development and Finances / EB5 Immigrant Investors.

In 2003, the city purchased 61 acres (25 ha) of property from the Union Pacific Railroad in 1995 with the goal of creating something to draw more people to the downtown area. In 2004 Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman announced plans for Symphony Park on that parcel of land, to include
residential and office high-rises (now under development), the Lou Ruvo Brain Institute (now complete), being an academic medical center, soon to be followed by a major new world-famous health care facility / hospital, being the Cleveland Clinic.

Is another project on which the city concentrated its efforts. In 2002, WMCLV was announced on the lot adjacent to the city of Las Vegas' aforesaid redevelopment parcel, as an eight-building complex offering 7,500,000 square feet (700,000 m2) in a facility designed by Jon Jerde. Three of the buildings opened in 2011.

The square footage of World Market Center Las Vegas is greater than the Willis Tower in Chicago (the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere), and the Empire State Building in New York City. It is now focal point of numerous annual and recurring trade shows and conventions, all of which bring millions of visitors and dollars to Downtown.
Just this month, September 2012, The Las Vegas Shakespeare Company joined the chorus of entities working to participate in Downtown Las Vegas by unveiling its $45 million plan to renovate the Reed Whipple Cultural Center in downtown Las Vegas. The announcement came during the launch of the company’s capital fund drive at the center Friday afternoon.
The expansion of the 50-year-old, 35,000square-foot building, whose lease was acquired by the group a year ago, will include a 499-seat theater and rehearsal space, a bar and lounge, an art gallery with Opportunity Village, a communal terrace and gardens, and the return of the popular Las Vegas eatery Rosemary’s Café.
The new space is expected to open to the public in a year, joining the recent push toward enhancing the Downtown cultural corridor, including renovations to the Neon Museum (Downtown), the Children’s Museum (Downtown), and the new $45,000,000.00 Mob Museum (Downtown), adjacent to the 3rd Street Development Project.
