Q: EB-5 visa. Will the government refund investments made in TEA under the EB-5 visa?
HI!
Will the government refund investments made in TEA under the EB-5 visa? I don't mean income. I mean a refund, like how it's done with a borrowing (I know you shouldn't give money as a loan). If it is not the government's responsibility, will the TEA return my money?
What are the chances that I won't get my money back?
By the way, separate from returning the “borrowed money”, will I have a profit from my investment in the TEA?

A:
Under the EB-5 visa program, the U.S. government does not typically refund investments made in Targeted Employment Areas (TEA) or any other designated areas. The investment you make is at risk, meaning that the outcome depends on the success of the project you've invested in. If the project fails, there is a possibility that you might not get your money back.
The purpose of the EB-5 program is to create jobs and stimulate economic growth, not to guarantee returns. When you make an investment under this program, you must understand that you are assuming the risks associated with any investment. The government does not step in to recover your losses.
If you are concerned about the security of your investment, it’s important to conduct thorough due diligence before committing your funds. Carefully review the investment opportunity, consult with financial and legal professionals, and be fully aware of the risks involved.
