EB-5 Visas

Investor visas for permanent residents status are available for qualified individuals and their family members based on their investment in a new commercial enterprise which results in the creation of 10 full time jobs for U.S. citizens or permanent residents. The minimum investment under the EB-5 investor visa program is $500,000 if the investment is in a Targeted Employment Area or a rural area. Otherwise the required investment amount is $1,000,000.

Many intending immigrant investors choose to invest in a Regional Center EB-5 investor visa program. These Regional Centers allow qualified investors to meet the employment requirement through indirect employment methods which are generally pre-approved by the USCIS. Most Regional Center investments are located in Targeted Employment Areas allowing the EB-5 investor to quality for the minimum investor amount. It is not necessary for the investor to reside in the location of the EB-5 investment. It is strongly recommended that the potential investor consult and plan with an immigration lawyer.
