Three regions.
One corridor.
Expertly navigated.
BAH Advisory guides African and MENA investors and families — at home or based in the Gulf — through U.S. investment migration: EB-5 direct investment, investment-linked visas, feasibility advisory, and full relocation planning. From Conakry to Casablanca to Dubai, one firm that speaks your languages and shares your values.
More than EB-5. A complete U.S.-Africa & GCC advisory practice.
Every engagement starts with one question: what is your family actually trying to build? The visa is a vehicle. The destination is yours.
EB-5 Direct Investment
U.S. permanent residency through ownership of a real operating business — anchored by service contracts with two Baltimore CBD towers. No regional center. No pooled fund. Your enterprise, your employees, your Green Card path.
- $800,000 TEA minimum investment
- 10 full-time U.S. jobs per investor enterprise
- Green Cards for spouse and children under 21
- Limited to 10 investor slots
Other Investment-Linked Pathways
EB-5 is not the only door. We assess your profile against every investment- and business-linked route, then coordinate licensed immigration counsel to execute.
- E-2 Treaty Investor (eligible treaty countries)
- L-1A Intracompany Transfer — expand your African business to the U.S.
- EB-1C Multinational Executive & EB-2 NIW assessments
- Strategy comparison: cost, timeline, family coverage
Feasibility, Readiness & Wealth Advisory
The hardest part of investment migration from West Africa is documentation, not capital. We pressure-test your candidacy before you spend a dollar on filings.
- Source-of-funds readiness review (30-day pre-qualification)
- Business plan feasibility & market-entry studies
- U.S. real estate & alternative asset strategy
- Cross-border structuring coordination with tax counsel
Migration Planning & Relocation
The visa is month one. The life is the next forty years. We plan the landing as carefully as the petition — for the whole family.
- Pre-arrival roadmap: banking, credit, housing, schools
- DMV-area settlement support with bilingual guidance
- Business setup: LLC, EIN, U.S. banking, insurance
- Education planning for children, including university strategy
Own the business. Employ the ten. Earn the Green Card.
A direct EB-5 structure built around two landmark office towers in Baltimore's central business district — a federally designated Targeted Employment Area.
-
IOne investor, one enterprise
Each of the 10 investors forms and owns an independent operating company — cleaning, security, maintenance, IT, childcare, café, and other qualifying enterprise types serving the towers and the district.
-
IIAnchor contracts from day one
At acquisition, each enterprise executes a multi-year service contract with the tower portfolio — recurring revenue that underwrites salaries and operations from the start.
-
IIITen W-2 jobs — your job-creation case
Your enterprise employs 10 full-time U.S. workers. They are your employees, on your payroll, documented for your I-526E and I-829 petitions. No economist models, no indirect job counting — direct, verifiable employment.
-
IVBuilt for African & Gulf source-of-funds realities
We assemble USCIS-ready documentation packages adapted to West African, Maghreb, and Gulf banking systems — including UAE residency-based wealth — and structure compliant financing where personal assets in your home country support part of the investment.
-
VA second engine: federal contracting
The tower sponsor's federal certifications open subcontracting opportunities for investor enterprises across U.S. government agencies — an additional revenue channel beyond building contracts.
The Anchor Assets
EB-5 capital must remain at risk under U.S. law. Immigration outcomes are adjudicated by USCIS and are not guaranteed. Details provided under NDA during private consultation.
Why we built this as a direct EB-5 program.
| BAH Direct EB-5 | Typical Regional Center | |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership | You own 100% of your operating enterprise | Passive minority stake in a pooled fund |
| Job creation | 10 direct W-2 employees on your payroll — verifiable | Indirect jobs estimated by economist models |
| Control | You run the business and its revenue | Developer controls the project and exit |
| What you build | U.S. business credit, banking history, and an operating asset | A capital claim awaiting repayment in 5–7 years |
| Values alignment | Direct equity in a real operating business — a structure many families find compatible with Islamic finance principles | Typically an interest-bearing mezzanine loan to a developer |
| Middleman fees | No regional center administration fees | $50K–$80K regional center fees typical |
Both structures are lawful EB-5 routes. Direct EB-5 carries operating responsibility — it suits investors who want a real business, not only a visa. We help you decide which fits your family honestly, even when the answer is not our program.
From first conversation to unconditional Green Card.
Goals, family profile, capital position, and the honest fit assessment — EB-5, another visa, or not yet.
A 30-day pre-qualification of your documentation trail before any major commitment. This gate protects you.
Your LLC and EIN are formed, the tower service contract executed, and the USCIS-compliant business plan finalized.
Licensed immigration counsel files I-526E — with concurrent I-485 and work permit if you are already in the U.S.
Conditional Green Card, then I-829 removal of conditions at 24 months — with our compliance support throughout.
Timelines are estimates based on current USCIS processing and vary by case. West African nationals currently face no EB-5 country backlog — a meaningful advantage over high-demand countries.
Rooted in West Africa. At home from Dakar to Dubai.
We serve entrepreneurs, professionals, and families across francophone and anglophone West Africa, the Maghreb, and the Gulf — including the large community of African families building wealth from Dubai, Doha, and Riyadh, and the diaspora already in the United States.
Documents, consultations, and family briefings delivered in the language your family decides in — with Arabic-language support available through our partner network. No translation gaps where precision matters most.
An advisory firm that lives in the corridor it serves.
BAH Advisory was founded in the DMV by a West African–American entrepreneur, U.S. military veteran, and multi-state real estate operator. We are not a law firm processing files from a distance — we are operators with assets, family, and history on both sides of the Atlantic.
Our founder is an African Muslim with Guinean and Moroccan roots, educated through Georgetown's Global Executive MBA with residencies in Doha, Bangalore, Shanghai, Madrid, and São Paulo. That is not a résumé line — it is why a family in Dubai, Dakar, or Casablanca finds someone across the table who shares their languages, their faith considerations, and their understanding of how wealth is actually built and documented in their world.
Our model is deliberately honest: we tell you whether you are ready before you spend, we coordinate licensed U.S. immigration attorneys for every filing, and we build long-term relationships — not transactions.
