The fastest and most efficient path to American residency
What is an EB5 Investor Visa?
The U.S. Investor Immigration Program – known as “EB-5” – is one of the most effective ways for people from all over the world to obtain a green card and be able to live in the United States of America. After successfully completing the program, the investor and his/her family (spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21) receive conditional residency status in the United States, which can be converted into a permanent residence, pathway to citizenship.
How does it work?
Since its introduction in 1990 by U.S. immigration law, the EB-5 program offers a special immigration visa category for the high-net-worth international investor. To qualify for the program, the applicant must invest $900,000 in a business or project located in an area of the United States with a high unemployment rate. The applicant’s investment must create 10 full-time jobs within two years.
After approval of the initial application, which focuses primarily on establishing the legal source of the $900,000 investment (known as the I-526 petition), the applicant and his or her family are eligible for conditional resident status in the United States. Once the applicant establishes that the $900,000 investment was made in the selected project and the 10 full-time jobs were created within the required period (or will be created within a reasonable period of time), the visa status will be withdrawn and the applicant and his or her family will receive permanent resident status in the United States.
Basic requirements
- Investment $900,000 USD.
- Proof of the legal source of such investment through the I-526 petition.
- Each investment must create 10 full-time jobs for skilled American workers.
Program Benefits
- Unlike other U.S. visa programs, there are no requirements for age, educational level, or professional or business experience.
- The applicant and his/her family (spouse and children under the age of 21 at the time of the visa appointment) will receive a green card and will be able to settle anywhere in the United States.
- The applicant is not required to speak English.
- The applicant can apply for citizenship 5 years after receiving permanent residency.
