No. Operating authorization and immigration eligibility answer different questions. Review the permit’s actual scope and the complete EB-5 evidence separately.
Do not exchange one kind of approval for another
The investor still needs the applicable capital, lawful-source, risk, job and participation evidence. A permit from the relevant authority is not a decision on the investor’s petition or individual admissibility.
Ask three concrete things: which model the economist used, which line items were moved and to what category, and whether the revised inputs still support at least ten qualifying full-time jobs attributable to your investment. Do not assume a declared income total automatically identifies which funds were later invested or resolves a different source appearing in the transaction history. Direct and regional-centre job rules differ, so the project must use the framework applicable to its actual structure. Assess the actual structure and role instead of inventing daily responsibilities or assuming that an administrator eliminates all participation requirements. Trace the lawful source and complete path of every dollar, show that funds are invested at risk, and preserve the investor’s management or policy role. Establish the applicant’s lawful rights, source and path, restrictions and the qualifying investment actually made.
