Based on a reputation of credibility and trust, the PIDC Regional Center is fully committed to providing comprehensive services to our clients. We see each immigrant investor through the complete immigration process, from the selection of an investment project for the initial application to receiving a permanent green card. |

PERMANENT GREEN CARDS (I-829) APPROVED PROMPTLY
Sample of I-829 Approval Letters. Well in advance of the earliest submission dates for the I-829 petitions, the PIDC Regional Center met with representatives of the USCIS and discussed at length the evidentiary documentation required to demonstrate that the petitioners' investments in the PIDC Regional Center's projects fulfilled the job creation requirements of the Program.
Consistent with our policy to provide comprehensive services to all of our investors, each I-829 petition will receive the same attention to detail before being submitted to USCIS for adjudication. |
Testimonials from approved I-829 investors
"We have had an excellent experience with the PIDC Regional Center. We were one of the first investors to sign up. Although we were very interested the investment project they offered, we were at first uncertain because no one else had submitted an application. However, they worked very hard to make sure our application was very thorough, and since the beginning, they have been in regular communication with us and have answered all our questions. We received reports about the status of our investment so that before we even submitted our application for the unconditional green card, we knew that the investment project had already created more than enough jobs. Our I-829 conditional removal was approved less than a month after our application was submitted. We are very happy and excited that everything has turned out so successfully and are confident that we will be as successful with our investment as we have been with our immigration. We highly recommend the PIDC Regional Center to anyone." Mr. and Mrs. Park of South Korea |

"Our family is very satisfied with our lives here in the US. We have settled here in California, we bought a home, and both my children are attending school. Also, our son just got accepted to the prestigious University of California at Berkeley, and he can now attend the university as permanent green card holder, because we just received our permanent green cards by mail within two months after our I-829 application was approved. I had an excellent experience with my investment in Philadelphia (PIDC) Regional Center Program because CanAm and everyone involved were really professional and kind. I can now confidently recommend the Philadelphia Regional Center Program to others based on our own experience." Mr. and Mrs. Koh, investors in PIDC Regional Center LP II

Based on these discussions, we compiled documentation regarding the establishment of the limited partnership, the petitioners' investment in the limited partnership, the petitioners' participation in the limited partnership, and most importantly, the job creation by the limited partnership's investment so that the supporting documentation for the I-829 applications would be as comprehensive as possible and satisfy all USCIS requirements.
