CMB EB-5 Visa

Acerca de nosotros

¿Por qué Centros Regionales CMB?

Somos uno de los operadores activos de centros regionales EB-5 más antiguos en la industria EB-5 con veinticinco años de experiencia. Patrick F. Hogan, nuestro CEO y Fundador, ha participado en la industria EB-5 desde 1994, y estableció nuestro primer centro regional en 1997.

Experiencia

At CMB we focus solely as a regional center operator and a fiduciary to our investors. Over 6,000 investors from over 100 countries have subscribed to CMB EB-5 partnerships to pursue permanent residence in the United States.

Hasta la fecha, CMB ha lanzado más de 80 ofertas separadas de EB-5 que incluyen más de $3,300 millones en capital de inversión en combinación con más de $13,000 millones en fondos públicos y privados. Estas ofertas EB-5 financiaron el desarrollo y la construcción de más de 100 proyectos en 20 estados de los Estados Unidos. Se prevé que estas inversiones crearán 200,000 nuevos empleos estadounidenses.

Éxitos

Desde nuestra primera sociedad EB-5, el Grupo A, hemos logrado una tasa de aprobación de proyectos del 100%. Los inversionistas EB-5 de CMB han logrado más de 5,000 aprobaciones de peticiones I-526, más de 2,000 aprobaciones de peticiones I-829, y hemos devuelto más de $1,000 millones de capital de inversión a nuestros inversionistas.

Transparencia

En 2014, fuimos el primer centro regional en solicitar auditorías independientes de las finanzas de todas nuestras sociedades EB-5 efectuadas por auditores externos de acuerdo con los GAAP (Principios de Contabilidad Generalmente Aceptados) y las estadísticas de aprobación de peticiones. Hemos efectuado las mismas auditorías cada año desde entonces, y continuaremos haciéndolo, estableciendo así un estándar de transparencia para la industria.

Pioneros

Fuimos el primer centro regional en depender únicamente de la creación de empleos indirectos e inducidos, y fuimos el primero en introducir lo que comúnmente se conoce como el modelo de préstamo. A lo largo de los años, la industria EB-5 ha seguido evolucionando y muchas de las estructuras y metodologías en las que hemos sido pioneros se han utilizado ampliamente en toda la industria.

Historia de CMB

Pat and Noreen Hogan speek at CMB 20th aniversary event in 2017 El primer Centro Regional CMB, CMB Export, fue autorizado en 1997. En ese momento, el programa EB-5 era muy nuevo y permanecía relativamente inutilizado. El fundador de CMB, Patrick Hogan, identificó una necesidad urgente de inversión de capital en antiguas bases militares ubicadas en California que se vieron afectadas por BRAC (Realineación y Cierre de Bases).

Varias grandes bases militares en California habían sido reubicadas o cerradas, lo que resultó en la pérdida de decenas de miles de empleos. El Sr. Hogan buscó utilizar la inversión EB-5 para revitalizar esas regiones. Estas antiguas comunidades de bases militares enfrentaron serios desafíos en un esfuerzo por reinventar su economía. Estos desafíos incluían la necesidad de reducir el asbesto, mantos freáticos contaminados y carreteras en muy malas condiciones. CMB, un acrónimo de ‘Base Militar de California’ por sus siglas en inglés, lleva el nombre del esfuerzo para mejorar la infraestructura en estas áreas.

Las primeras 10 sociedades EB-5 de CMB Export se centraron en resolver estos problemas de infraestructura en la Base de la Fuerza Aérea Norton en San Bernardino y la Base de la Fuerza Aérea McClellan cerca de Sacramento. CMB utilizó fondos EB-5 para reconstruir carreteras y puentes, instalar sistemas solares en azoteas, implementar sistemas de transporte público y eliminar riesgos ambientales que desalentaban la inversión del sector privado.

Hoy en día, la antigua Base de la Fuerza Aérea McClellan es ahora McClellan Park, la comunidad maestra planificada más grande de California. Incluye espacio de oficinas, almacenamiento, espacio comercial e instalaciones para manufactura.

La antigua Base de la Fuerza Aérea Norton es ahora el San Bernardino International Airport. El sitio también sirve como un importante centro de logística y almacenamiento para el sur de California. Los inquilinos como FedEx, UPS, Pepsi y Stater Bros. mantienen instalaciones en o cerca de la antigua base.

Estas historias de éxito EB-5 muestran el profundo impacto que puede tener el programa EB-5 para canalizar capital de inversión a partes desatendidas de los Estados Unidos y estimular la creación de empleos.

Hoy en día, CMB opera múltiples Centros Regionales, con proyectos de inversión EB-5 en todo Estados Unidos. Aplicamos el enfoque conservador y centrado en la infraestructura que ayudó a revitalizar las bases militares cerradas en California a proyectos EB-5 en sectores como la construcción residencial, el almacenamiento industrial y la energía renovable.

Over 6,000 EB-5 investors have trusted CMB with their immigration pursuit since those early days. CMB has worked with investors from over 100 countries, and we still maintain a worldwide presence, conducting in-person meetings with prospective investors around the world every year.

Como líder en la industria, CMB continúa creando ofertas EB-5 de alta calidad para inversionistas interesados en obtener una residencia permanente en los Estados Unidos.

Nuestra Estructura

Nuestro enfoque es simple: Tradicionalmente, nuestras sociedades EB-5 proporcionan un préstamo de seis años que requiere amortización de intereses únicamente a un desarrollador de un proyecto. Dependiendo del proyecto en particular, estos contratos de préstamo pueden firmarse con agencias gubernamentales, sociedades públicas/privadas o desarrolladores privados experimentados. Nuestro capital de inversión EB-5 se combina con fondos públicos y privados adicionales para financiar el desarrollo y la construcción del proyecto o proyectos específicos. El beneficio de este financiamiento «semilla» en etapa inicial es poder impulsar las actividades de construcción, mejoras o reparaciones cuando no existen otras fuentes de financiamiento. El tiempo y los recursos necesarios para completar cada proyecto variarán dependiendo de la naturaleza del proyecto. Algunos proyectos son eventos únicos dentro de un solo desarrollo, mientras que otros proyectos son proyectos a largo plazo de varias fases. La disponibilidad de financiamiento alternativo en etapa inicial para proyectos de infraestructura y construcción inicia una reacción en cadena de desarrollo económico que resulta en la creación significativa de nuevos empleos en Estados Unidos.
