New York Immigration Fund

What New York Immigration Fund does

New York Immigration Fund (NYIFund) is a USCIS-approved EB-5 Regional Center founded in 2009 that channels foreign capital from high-net-worth immigrant investors into real estate development projects in the New York City metropolitan area. The firm, backed by the Roe family's Roe Corporation with over 35-40 years of NYC real estate ownership experience, has administered 19 projects representing approximately $1 billion in EB-5 capital and over $5 billion in total project capitalization, with a reported 100% USCIS approval rate, zero defaults, and 13 full investor repayments. NYIF's core offering is the EB-5 investment product — a $800,000 minimum investment through its Regional Center designation (versus the $1.8M direct investment minimum) that pairs capital deployment into USCIS-approved real estate projects with a path to a U.S. green card for the investor and immediate family.

NYIF operates a sales-led, relationship-driven go-to-market model targeting foreign HNW individuals, particularly Korean investors via a Seoul office in the Gangnam Finance Center and increasingly Indian investors via India operations leadership. Distribution is supported by a network of foreign migration partners, a content marketing website, and a deep bench of specialized EB-5 legal counsel spanning immigration, securities, and real estate law. The current active raise is NYIF Jersey City Towers (I-956F USCIS approved, 145 investors, $116M EB-5 within a $372M capital stack), being developed jointly by KRE Group, Ironstate Development, Panepinto Properties, and AJD Construction. The economic engine is project-based: NYIF earns management, administrative, and origination fees (and modest carry) on capital raised and deployed, with revenue tied to the cadence of USCIS-approved project raises rather than recurring subscription economics. The business is privately held, family-controlled via Roe Corporation, with a 1-10 person team and no institutional investors or external funding rounds disclosed.
