Job creation methodology in regards to job-creation requirements related to export activities
It was mentioned in an earlier post that the EB-5 law was amended and included 'Doing away with the job-creation requirement that were related to export activities of the region, and allowing the job-creation from any investment activities in the region' how does this or does it affect the indirect or induced job creation methodologies of the EB-5 project?
Who typically does the job creation study? What is the expected cost?
To set up a regional center it seems like the major requirement is proof of job creation. The two models that seem to be used are RIMS and IMPLAN.
Is it normal to hire a firm to prepare these studies or is this something that someone can do on there own?
Who will be responsible for the RIMS II math?
Practically, will the management team of the project hire someone(consultant) to calculate the number of indirect jobs, and USCIS verify it?
Or USCIS brings up the number?

How should I report the 'interest' generated by Regional Center Program?
Should I ask ***** to report for me or I should report the 'interest' revenue by myself? Should I report it as Banking Interest or Dividend?

Regional Center New Investors Deadline
As we know as soon as a new regional center gets its Certificate of occupancy no more investors can be added to this project. The question is if the project is getting only a temporary certificate of occupancy, can we still accept investors for it?
Thank you.

Question about potential I-829 denial
For example, I'm one of the investors in a Regional Center project. If for some reason after two years, this project doesn't create enough jobs, will CSC deny all the investors or just some of them?
