Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The hotel opened and has been operational since 24/02/2026 — construction risk is zero. The project has created 1,613 jobs (6.4 times the USCIS requirement), providing a strong safety buffer for the I-829 stage. Form I-956F was approved by USCIS on 12/06/2024. EB-5 capital accounts for only 12.36% of total project capital — a low proportion that reduces capital return risk.

US$800,000 for an application including the primary investor, spouse, and all unmarried children under 21 – no additional investment costs for family members. There are also administrative fees (legal fees, Regional Center fees, USCIS fees) per package.

The I-956F is the EB-5 project application submitted by the Regional Center to USCIS to request approval of the project's validity before receiving investment capital. The Voco Times Square Broadway project had its I-956F approved by USCIS on 12/06/2024 with file code #INF2360005768 – confirming the project fully meets EB-5 criteria regarding job creation, investment in a TEA, and financial structure.

A TEA (Targeted Employment Area) is an area with an unemployment rate of 150% of the national average or a rural area. The Voco project is located in a 6.8% high-unemployment TEA in Manhattan, therefore investors benefit from the preferential investment level of US$800,000 instead of the US$1,050,000 required for standard areas.

The project plans to refinance at an LTV ratio of 58%. Capital from the new loan will repay the EB-5 capital (US$20 million for 25 investors) after investors receive their permanent Green Card. The expected capital return timeline is 3-5 years. Note that under EB-5 regulations, capital must remain “at risk” for the mandatory period.

The time from filing the I-526E to receiving the conditional green card (2 years) is currently about 12–24 months depending on visa quotas. After the 2-year conditional period, file the I-829 to remove conditions and receive a 10-year permanent green card. Total time to permanent green card: approximately 3–5 years.

No. This is an investment through a Regional Center (Century Regional Center #RC2300005527) — investors act as passive equity partners and are not involved in running the hotel. The hotel operates under the voco by IHG brand. Investors are free to live, work and study in any state in the United States after receiving their green card.
