Dear [Attorney Name],

EB-5 Capability Letter — companion to our E-2 Partnership Letter (available on request). Both vehicles share the same operating evidentiary foundation; the deal mechanics differ.

About Dolan's Investment Platform

Dolan's Investment Platform is the U.S. investment-immigration execution arm of Dolan Restaurant Group — an active California restaurant operator with three established locations in Alhambra, Rowland Heights, and Irvine. Our 7-year multi-location operating record provides the audit-grade evidentiary foundation behind every petition we structure: per-location P&L, Toast POS continuous audit chain, and external CPA review.

The platform executes both E-2 Treaty Investor partnerships (our flagship program) and EB-5 Immigrant Investor ventures (parallel offering). This letter focuses on the EB-5 capability and the qualifying project structures we can deliver.

Why EB-5 with Dolan

EB-5 success at I-526E and I-829 hinges on three evidence chains: (i) lawful source of capital, (ii) capital irrevocably at risk in a qualifying enterprise, and (iii) creation of 10+ permanent full-time U.S. jobs. The third — job creation — is where most EB-5 projects fail under USCIS scrutiny, particularly post-2022 EB-5 Reform & Integrity Act enforcement.

Our existing operating record is exactly the type of evidence USCIS reviewers expect at I-829 (removal of conditions). The same operating spine that runs three California restaurants — supplier network, SOP-driven scheduling, audited unit-level financials, multi-language source-of-funds documentation chain (English / 中文 / Türkçe / Русский) — is the spine we deploy on EB-5 ventures we structure for partner investors. We don't outsource the operating layer; that's why the EB-5 job-creation evidence chain is auditable from day one of the project.

The Two EB-5 Pathways We Execute

PathwayDirect EB-5 · investor builds and runs the qualifying enterprise themselves (10 W-2 jobs counted directly)
PathwayRegional Center coordinated · investor capital deploys into a USCIS-designated regional center project we co-structure (indirect / induced jobs counted per economist methodology)
Capital Floor$800,000 (Targeted Employment Area) or $1,050,000 (non-TEA)
Job Creation Standard10 permanent full-time U.S. jobs per investor, attributable within the 2-year conditional residency period
Capital At-Risk StandardFunds irrevocably committed before I-526E filing; no guaranteed return, no buyback, no escrow holds beyond Reform Act-permitted structures
Source-of-Funds StandardFull documentary trail from origin (business income, asset sale, inheritance, gift, loan against owned assets) to the U.S. project escrow

Selection Criteria — Necessary Conditions

The following are necessary conditions for any candidate to be considered for an EB-5 project we structure:

  1. Liquid capital of US$800,000 or more (TEA project) or US$1,050,000 (non-TEA), with documentable source of funds traceable to lawful origin
  2. Willingness to file I-526E with full lawful-source-of-funds package, then I-829 at the conclusion of conditional residency
  3. For Direct EB-5: substantive background sufficient to direct an operating U.S. business (or co-management arrangement with our team)
  4. For Regional Center: alignment with the project's designated regional center and acceptance of pooled-investment structure
  5. Either lawful U.S. status permitting Adjustment of Status, or readiness for consular processing
  6. Demonstrated patience for EB-5 timelines (currently 2–4 years for most countries, longer for China backlog) — investors needing faster U.S. presence may wish to file E-2 concurrently or first
Where a candidate would otherwise be a strong fit but EB-5 timelines do not align with their U.S. presence needs, we frequently structure E-2 (faster) and EB-5 (parallel) filings against the same operating evidence base.

Why This Structure Qualifies for EB-5

This capability is engineered to address each of the four EB-5 evidentiary requirements. The project structure itself is the offering — investors join an existing compliant framework with operating evidence already in place.

  1. Capital Investment. Full $800,000 (TEA) or $1,050,000 (non-TEA) committed against the qualifying enterprise. Capital deployment schedule documented against project budget; no escrow holds beyond Reform Act-permitted structures.
  2. Lawful Source & Path of Funds. Full documentary chain from origin to U.S. project escrow — multi-language documentation infrastructure (English / 中文 / Türkçe / Русский) standardized internally to avoid the 60–90-day translation/notarization bottlenecks that delay most EB-5 filings.
  3. Capital At-Risk. Investment irrevocably deployed against qualifying expenses (build-out, equipment, working capital, payroll) prior to or contemporaneously with the I-526E filing, satisfying the at-risk standard.
  4. 10+ Job Creation. For Direct EB-5: documented employment plan with 10+ W-2 positions creating qualifying jobs within the conditional residency period, supported by our existing 7-year hiring record showing realistic ramp-up timing. For Regional Center coordinated projects: economist-validated indirect/induced job calculations submitted as part of the I-526E package.

What Investors Receive from Dolan's Investment Platform

In exchange for joining the structure, the investor benefits from:

We are prepared to engage your firm to review and formalize the transaction structure on behalf of the investor, including subscription documentation, operating agreement (Direct EB-5), or regional center subscription documents. We understand your primary obligation would be to the investor as your client, and we would engage independent counsel to represent Dolan's Investment Platform in the negotiation.

Introduction Protocol for Qualified Candidates

For any candidate your firm wishes to introduce, the process is:

  1. Step 1 — Eligibility verification call (30 min) to confirm capital availability, source-of-funds posture, and pathway preference (Direct vs Regional Center coordinated; EB-5-only vs concurrent E-2).
  2. Step 2 — NDA execution, followed by delivery of our EB-5 Project Memorandum (project economics, job-creation methodology, draft subscription documents, source-of-funds checklist by jurisdiction).
  3. Step 3 — Joint call with candidate, EB-5 immigration counsel, securities counsel (if applicable), and Dolan's Investment Platform representative to align on structure and timeline.
  4. Step 4 — Subscription & capital deployment; simultaneous preparation of the I-526E package with full source-of-funds and project documentation.

Closing

Referrals of vetted candidates may be sent directly to the contact below; we will respond within five business days. If you would like to discuss whether EB-5 (or concurrent E-2 + EB-5) fits a specific client situation before referring, a 30-minute introductory call can be scheduled.

Sincerely,

Ilyas Eziz
