EB5 Affiliate Network

What EB5 Affiliate Network does

EB5 Affiliate Network (EB5AN, LLC) is a private, U.S.-based EB-5 regional center operator and fund manager headquartered in San Juan, Puerto Rico with international offices in India, Brazil, and China. Founded in 2013 by Sam Silverman and Mike Schoenfeld — both former Boston Consulting Group consultants with institutional private equity backgrounds — the firm operates a network of 10+ USCIS-approved EB-5 regional centers spanning more than 48 U.S. states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico. EB5AN's customer base is split between two primary segments: foreign nationals (from 70+ countries, with strong concentrations in India, China, Vietnam, Brazil, and South Korea) seeking U.S. permanent residency through $800,000 EB-5 investments, and U.S. real estate developers (Kolter, Realty Capital Residential, Carson Hospitality, Grand Park Development, Currahee Club) seeking EB-5 capital for projects in rural or urban Targeted Employment Areas. To date, the firm reports facilitating permanent residency for 2,700+ investors.

EB5AN's revenue model combines professional services fees with transaction-based placement economics. Service offerings are tier-priced: regional center rental/affiliation at $20,000, new regional center setup starting at $35,000, and complete project documentation packages at $75,000 — each covering USCIS application forms (I-924, I-526, I-956F), business plans, economic impact reports, and securities/immigration components. Recurring revenue is generated through I-924A annual compliance reporting and Form I-829 documentation, and transaction revenue is generated through EB-5 capital placement into approved projects (such as the Twin Lakes Georgia master-planned community, Grand Park Colorado, Simply Shenandoah, and Brandon Multifamily) at the $800,000 minimum investment level. The firm captures developer-side and investor-side economics across the entire EB-5 value chain.

Distribution combines direct consultative sales with a tech-enabled platform layer: a website (eb5affiliatenetwork.com) for developers, a sub-brand investment portal (eb5visainvestments.com) for investors, and free proprietary tools (National TEA Map, EB-5 Job Creation Calculator, EB-5 Project Risk Assessment Questionnaire) that drive organic top-of-funnel traffic. The firm maintains strategic alliances with Klasko Immigration Law Partners (Ron Klasko, former five-term AILA EB-5 committee chairman) for immigration compliance, Davies & Associates for source-of-funds documentation across European markets, and NES Financial for fund administration and tracking. In February 2022, EB5AN closed a $7,500,000 funding round to support continued expansion of its regional center network and project pipeline.
