What you get in an EB-5 report from Evans, Carroll & Associates

Evans, Carroll & Associates is the leading economic firm engaged in the
preparation of economic analysis reports for proposed EB-5 regional centers.  
Here’s what you can expect in each report.  

●  Calculations based on the latest RIMS II model data, with specific data order
from the Commerce Department for the correct counties required for the multiplier
results.     Clear distinctions are drawn between single-year and multi-year
projects.  

●  Estimates are cross-checked against Census data where greater detail is
required, and modification of data aggregates is undertaken where necessary.

●  Independent analysis is undertaken to verify key figures such as output per
employee or output per square feet when these data are used as inputs into the
RIMS II model and are not available elsewhere.

●  Detailed explanation of both direct and indirect job creation by industrial
categories, as required by USCIS.  Comprehensive tables are provided for the
permanent increases in employment, output, and labor income by the 20 major
industry categories in the RIMS II model.

●  Accurate and precise definitions of county group areas for employment
multipliers.  If these areas are too small, the job creation is understated.  If they are
too large, USCIS may reject the report because the multipliers are overstated.

●  All reports are completed on time, and any suggested modifications by clients
are promptly delivered.  If the USCIS sends out an RFE, we will make any
changes they require in the original report at no additional cost

●  100% consumer satisfaction.  More important, 100% approval record by USCIS.

●  We have already completed over 150 EB-5 economic analysis reports (see the
sample projects page), which include over 100 different types of industries and
area configuration.  We are familiar with almost every different type of business
opportunity submitted to USCIS.

●  We work closely with leading immigration lawyers to insure that the overall
package will be accepted by USCIS personnel.  

●  We help you determine a TEA.  If an area qualifies as a Targeted Employment
Area (TEA), the immigrant investor can invest a minimum of $500,000 rather than
$1 million.  A region qualifies as a TEA if it is (a) a rural area or (b) has an
unemployment rate at least 150% of the national unemployment rate.  For 2011,
the qualifying unemployment rate is 14.4%.  In many cases, the area where you
want to put the new building has a lower unemployment rate.  We work closely
with state agencies to design an area that includes your census tract but also
qualifies as a TEA.
