[Q] Can an affiliate company of the NCE create requisite jobs?
No. See: http://www.uscis.gov/err/B7%20-%20Form%20I-526%20and%20I-829/Decisions_I...
In essence, requisite jobs must be created by an entity that qualifies as a NCE or JCE.

"The U.S. Department of Homeland Security described the review as a “fast-moving audit” and “has designated this review as a ‘Priority 1’ meriting reporting to the Secretary [Janet Napolitano],” according to an internal announcement obtained exclusively by The Daily."

I am surprised because USCIS is very tough on adjudication of EB-5 cases, and RCs would be too afraid to commit any misrep or fraud that would lead to USCIS taking away the RC designation because it costs a lot of money and time to get the RC designation.
Please update this. Recent RFEs indicate that some ISOs at USCIS CSC finally get that the NCE -- at least in the regional center context -- does not create jobs. They are now using the letters "JCE" for job-creating entity or enterprise to identify the entity that is actually creating the jobs.
Recent RFEs show a disturbing trend to readjudicate the NCE and JCE (and he entire project) at the I-829 stage. Applicants are asked for voluminous business records. There is still that trend where USCIS tries to tie an investment dollar to a newly created job. Difficult, if not impossible, to do under the best of circumstances.
I updated it to include the JCE. Can you describe the trend you mention above regarding what exactly the issue is?
