The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa Program is a pathway for foreign investors to become permanent residents (Green Card holders) of the United States by making a qualifying investment that creates jobs for U.S. workers. It’s one of the fastest and most direct routes to obtaining U.S. residency for you and your family.
What is the EB-5 Visa?
The EB-5 Visa was created by the U.S. government to encourage foreign investment and stimulate the economy. By investing in a U.S. business and creating jobs, foreign investors can earn the right to live, work, and study anywhere in the United States.
EB-5 Visa Requirements
To qualify for the EB-5 Visa, you must:
Invest the Required Capital – Minimum $1,050,000, or $800,000 if investing in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA) such as a rural area or an area with high unemployment.
Create Jobs – Your investment must create or preserve at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers.
Active Involvement – While you don’t have to manage the business day-to-day, you must be involved in its oversight.
Investment Options
Direct Investment – You start or invest directly in a business and are responsible for job creation.
