S3 EP2: Let’s Talk EB-5 Immigrant Investor Programs with Chaitrali Karve

Chaitrali “Chai” Karve is the Director of Business Development at Golden Gate Global, which is a firm specializing in the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. In 1990, Congress created the EB-5 Program to stimulate the economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors. In 1992, Congress created the Immigrant Investor Program, also known as the Regional Center Program, which sets aside EB-5 visas for participants who invest in commercial enterprises associated with regional centers approved by USCIS based on proposals for promoting economic growth. Chai, who is an immigrant herself and a licensed real estate agent in Florida with over two decades of experience with commercial and residential real estate ventures, learned about the EB-5 program and knew that she wanted to help educate others about it, both domestically and in countries worldwide. Today, she educates us about the program’s significance and how both immigrants and the U.S. benefit from it.
