Economic Studies for EB-5 Projects

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) requires a third party analysis relating to the potential commercial viability and benefit to the U.S. economy in reviewing EB-5 investor status. Wert-Berater, Inc.’s team of market researchers, economists and financial analysts provide the necessary reporting to meet USCIS guidelines.

Project Follow Up:

Our team of economists can also provide the necessary compilation of research demonstrating to the USCIS that a project created the required number of jobs that initial studies indicated it would. Wert-Berater, Inc.’s team completes this critical job creation test as required under USCIS regulations.
