Step-2: Offering documents signing Investor signs the subscription agreement Once the investor decides to invest, the prospective investors will sign subscription documents including subscription agreement to purchase the investment and escrow agreement regarding the deposit of the investor’s capital funds in an escrow bank. Prior to accepting the investor’s capital funds, all investors will be screened by Regional center and the escrow bank using the investors information from the presubscription questionnaire, as required by U.S Law. At this same time, investor will work with their immigration counsel and advisors to begin preparing the necessary forms and evidence of the investors source of funds.
