Can I setup my own EB5 project & EB5 Regional Centre (RC) in USA?

Yes, anyone can setup their own EB5 project. In terms of setting up a private regional centre, there are some amendments made in RIA 2022 due to which an investor cannot surf the EB5 ride in his own RC. In other words, the RC should have channelized funds for multiple investors.

No, it is not compulsory at all to setup a regional centre for doing a direct EB5 investment. A direct EB5 Investment is possible without the need to setup a Regional Centre. The major consideration to be kept in mind in such a case is that 10 direct jobs must remain created.
