At EB5 BRICS, the guiding principle revolves around two core objectives; the safety of the green card and the security of the capital invested. While many investors consider the immigration benefits first, Vivek emphasizes the importance of the investment itself.

Grounded in thorough due diligence and an acute understanding of financial intricacies, its investment advice is aimed at ensuring both the safety of capital and successful immigration outcomes.
