We understand the challenges that come with U.S. immigration and investment requirements. Our New York EB-5 immigration lawyers are here to help you succeed by making the procedure easier and more transparent.
What Is the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program?
By investing in a U.S. company, qualified foreign nationals can acquire a green card under the EB-5 visa program. Investors must meet the minimum investment for EB-5 visa approval and demonstrate that the funds come from a lawful source.
In return, applicants and their immediate family members (spouse and children under 21) can receive lawful permanent resident status.
There are two main investment pathways:
- Direct EB-5 Investment Visa: You invest in and manage your own business that creates at least 10 full-time U.S. jobs.
- EB-5 Regional Center Program: You invest in a pre-approved regional center project, which manages operations and job creation for you.
EB-5 Visa Requirements
To qualify under USCIS EB-5 visa requirements, applicants must:
- Invest a minimum of $1.05 million, or $800,000 if the project is in a targeted employment area (TEA).
- Show that your investment funds were obtained through lawful means.
- Show that at least ten full-time jobs for American workers will be created or maintained by your investment.
