In the 1960s, he helped reshape America’s immigration system away from racist national-origin quotas. (WBUR) By 1989, he was back at it — this time introducing the Immigration Act of 1990, the law that created the EB-1 through EB-5 employment-based categories and dramatically expanded legal immigration to the United States. (Wikipedia) So every time an investor family gets a green card through EB-5, they’re walking through a door Ted Kennedy helped build.

Here’s the truth: EB-5 only works when there’s a real team behind it — and leaders like Christine Chen of CanAm show exactly how powerful that structure can be. In this industry, success isn’t random. It’s engineered. It’s coordinated. And it’s driven by people who understand how every piece of the EB-5 machine fits together. When you see someone like Christine pulling investors, developers, economists, and compliance into one synchronized system, it’s a reminder: this progra

From Visa to Value: How EB-5 Investors Are Powering America’s Home Healthcare Revolution In this episode, Rose Odette sits down with Mr. Rashid, founder of We Got You Global, to unpack how EB-5 investors can create both life-changing immigration outcomes and real-world impact through direct investment in U.S. home-healthcare franchises. They discuss: The difference between Regional Center vs. Direct Investment models

In the EB-5 world, everyone loves to talk about three main characters: the investor, the U.S. project or regional center, and the immigration attorney. But there’s a fourth power player that quietly shapes deal flow across continents: migration consultants and global investment-migration firms like Globevisa. These firms have built entire platforms around residency- and citizenship-by-investment programs, including the U.S. EB-5 visa

When someone says “EB-5 investment,” most people think about immigration, job-creation, regional centers, USCIS, etc. But there’s a critical piece of the puzzle that often gets overlooked: securities regulation. That’s where FINRA comes in. Understanding FINRA’s role can give you a sharper edge—whether you’re advising EB-5 investors, structuring deals, or exploring how to scale your EB-5 business consultancy under your Bullish on Business platform.

Let’s break it down — what the business planner does (with ideals), 5 key take-away actions people in the EB-5 investment space should heed, and then a mini case-study to bring it to life

When it comes to the EB-5 Investor Visa, everyone loves to talk about the millions invested and the green cards earned — but let’s be real: it’s the immigration paralegals and attorneys who are the real engine running the show.

Regional Centers are Indispensable The Back Story - EB-5 Ecosystem The EB-5 visa wasn’t designed for moguls—it was built for   momentum . When Congress created it, the goal was simple: let foreign investors put capital to work in America in exchange for a green card— as long as that capital creates U.S. jobs . The problem? Most investors aren’t operators. They don’t want to open a diner in Detroit or a startup in Silicon Valley—they want a clear, compliant, and hands-off way

Every EB-5 project, investor, and professional shares the same challenge: clarity. Too many people in the ecosystem — investors, attorneys, economists, regional center staff, developers — are working in silos. Everyone’s trying to move money, create jobs, and secure green cards… but the process feels fragmented, misunderstood, and harder than it needs to be.

Most people think of China or India when they hear “EB-5 investor.” But Italy? It’s quietly building a reputation for being small but mighty. Italian investors may not flood the system with numbers, but they bring something rarer — stability, strategy, and sophistication. Their motivation isn’t hype or haste; it’s heritage. They invest not just in America, but in the future of their families — trading yield for legacy, complexity for certainty, and risk for the right to choo

When most people think about immigrating to the United States, they picture student visas or job sponsorships. But one French entrepreneur saw a different path — the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa — as his way to build his future rather than borrow it.

 When a London businessman named James sold his Mayfair flat to invest in America, his friends thought he was crazy. “You’re leaving London for what?” they asked. But James had one goal — to buy a future, not just a property. And the EB-5 Visa gave him that chance.

Every once in a while, a woman comes along who doesn’t just change the game — she buys the stadium, rewrites the rules, and invites the next generation of women to play bigger. Michele Kang is that woman. Her story embodies what I call The Pride Method — transformational vision meets relentless results.

Casium is more than a startup; it’s a declaration that we can rewrite the rules when the rules no longer serve us.
