FAQ

Investment Questions

1. What is a limited partnership?
A limited partnership is a business organization with one or more general partners who manage the business and assume legal debts and obligations, and one or more limited partners who are liable only to the extent of their investments. Limited partners also enjoy rights to the partnership's cash flow, but are not liable for company obligations. FirstPathway Partners is a limited partnership.

2. As a limited partner, how is my investment protected?
The USCIS requires that some financial risk be involved. So FirstPathway Partners cannot guarantee your rate of return. But we do minimize your risk by making sure that the investment is well collateralized, and the partnership is in strong financial standing. Our team of experts has had an average of 23 years of successful real estate investment experience and only supports investment opportunities after an extensive financial review.  A limited partner can contact the General Partner to request any partnership information at any time.

3. What are my risks?
There is risk in any investment, and specific risks for each limited partnership. These risks are clearly stated in the prospectus. General risks include economic conditions, failure to meet job requirements, and denied immigration status under the USCIS EB5 immigrant visa program.

4. Can several investors combine their investment through one limited partnership?
USCIS regulations specifically allow you to pool funds with other investors in an effort to establish a limited partnership sufficient to qualify all the investors. There are only two stipulations. For each investor:

  • Meet the minimum at-risk capital requirement of $500,000 per investor
  • Create or preserve at least 10 U.S. jobs per investor

5. How can I submit my investment funds to FirstPathway Partners?
In our offering materials, we provide a copy of our escrow agreement and wire transfer instructions to the escrow bank account. You receive a copy of the remittance confirmation as part of your I-526 petition.

6. If my I-526 petition is denied, will I receive my funds back?
Yes. Your full investment is returned to the account where the funds originated.

7. What obligations are required if I participate in the investment?
The USCIS requires you take an “active” part in your investment. This means you can either

    1. Manage a new commercial enterprise, including day-to-day managerial control or policy formation, within the Milwaukee zone.
    2. Or you can invest as a “limited partner.”

8. How does FirstPathway Partners protect my investment?
As a limited partner, just like a corporate shareholder, you are only liable to the extent of your investment. This business structure protects you and your investment.

By investing through FirstPathway Partners, you are immediately enrolled as a limited partner. This partnership qualifies you for a green card that may lead to citizenship. You may continue to engage in your own business and you may live anywhere in the U.S.A.
