The Limited Partnership, managed by our associate in the USA, is the general partner of the Limited Partnership. The general partner is responsible for the building and development of the all suite hotel property, and also manages the property and real estate sales. The Limited Partners/ Immigrant Investors receive 100% of the net operating profits of the all-suite hotel room income.
The limited partnership is formed by filing a charter with a state government and consists of a general partner and one or more limited partners. The charter details the rights and powers of the limited and general partners, percentages of ownership, and distributions of profits. The general partner manages the business. The limited partners are passive investors liable only for the amount of their investment.
As in any investment there is a risk of total loss. The ski resort investment is in real estate comprising the building and development of an all suite hotel without mortgage or bank financing. This lack of debt eliminates much of the risk of total loss. There remain matters much beyond the promoters control such acts of god, war, and market fluctuations in income and or real estate values. All investors are provided the opportunity to visit the resort, meet with management, be provided with documents as required to enable review of the investment, with references to permit independent verification of the information contained in the investment prospectus.
YES: Although the regulations permit escrow arrangements, other investment companies place EB-5 investors funds directly into the project, whereas the Promoters of the Ski resort insist that for investor protection and assurance, that the Investors funds are placed in a trust or escrow account pending petition approval. In this case the funds may only be released to the project upon approval of EB5 Investor immigration petition.
We liaise with a highly successful Ski Resort in the State of Vermont, USA. The Ski Resort has been established for over 50 years, with extensive experience in the operation of ski resorts and residential development and hotel operations. Our associate acts as general partner with investors entering as legally protected limited partners. The Limited Partnership has no debt, this is an investment in real estate in a prime strategic location, risks to the limited partners are significantly reduced.
The Promoters advise that the product they are creating, the Suite Hotel, is in such demand that there is little risk at all. The site is perfect and the market need is so strong that the business outlook for success is great.
EB-5 investors have two considerations, the soundness of the investment, and obtaining their green card. The investment must be analyzed upon its merits. With other EB-5 investment companies you may only receive a percentage of the profits (as low as 50% of the net income, and with 30% percent or more of the sales profit paid to the investment company, with the Ski resort, you are projected to receive up to 100% of the net operating income.

We don't need to use the EB-5 approach because we can get commercial financing for the project but it is a benefit to us to do so.
The Promoters will be delighted for you to review the project, in fact we most strongly recommend that you do so. We will provide you complimentary accommodation for up to three nights, and you will meet President of the company and the management team and review the project.

A Green Card cannot be "guaranteed" however your $500k is held in a "Bank Escrow Account" and refunded in full in the unlikely event of a denial of your petition. No one can ever guarantee the outcome of a visa application or petition, it is solely up to USCIS to adjudicate. The key is to have a well prepared petition by competent, legal counsel experienced in EB-5 visa matters, to create the best opportunity for success. No money is released from the bank escrow account to the project unitil your I-526 Petiton is approved.
YES, directly from the bank escrow account, within 30 days or less.
Other structured EB-5 investments do not escrow your $500,000, the money is paid directly to the developer or promoter, you must rely on the developer for any repayment.
NO, the the Promoters believe that it is important for you to have independent legal counsel representing your interests.
As a result while we recommend a lawyer who can competently handle EB-5 applications, you will make your own arrangements with the attorney.
You will be provided with detailed schedule of requirements and list of documents. You will be assisted throughout the entire application process.
