Successful EB-5 Program in South Florida Seeks Immigrant Investors

There is a new EB-5 investor visa regional center program in South Florida that is currently seeking foreign investors.  This EB-5 program is administered by a company called QueensFort Capital which is the exclusive franchisee of Sonic Corporation, a fast-food chain, in the region.  The program intends to develop 50 new Sonic restaurants throughout South Florida with the capital from EB-5 investors.

EB-5 Investor Visa

In order to qualify for an EB-5 visa, a foreign investor must invest $1 million – or $500,000 in an area of high unemployment – in a new or existing commercial enterprise and the investment has to lead to the creation of 10 new full-time jobs for Americans.

QueensFort Capital is using its status as the exclusive franchisee of Sonic Corporation in South Florida to build a successful EB-5 program.  They channel the foreign investment from immigrants who want to obtain an EB-5 green card to develop and operate new Sonic restaurants.  South Florida gets a new restaurant and jobs and the investor obtains an EB-5 visa to live and work in the US.  So far, according to QueensFort, the EB-5 program has been 100% successful in getting EB-5 investor visa approvals.
