While no investment can be guaranteed, CDRC investments are structured specifically to minimize these risks to the greatest extent possible.  These and other risks are described in detail in the documentation provided for each CDRC investment.

Unmarried children under age 21 at the time of a parent’s EB-5 petition is filed will receive first a conditional green card, and after two years, a green card without conditions.  This permits them to remain in the U.S. and attend college or university as permanent residents of the U.S., regardless of whether you (or your spouse) remain in the U.S.

  • The ability to invest alongside other EB-5 investors in a pooled vehicle, such as a limited partnership sponsored by the CDRC; and
  • The ability to receive credit for both direct and indirect jobs created as a result of the EB-5 investor’s investment.
