United States of America - EB-5 Visa Business Migration
The U.S. EB‑5 Immigrant Investor Program provides a direct path to permanent residence (green cards) for investors, spouses, and unmarried children under 21 by funding job‑creating enterprises. You can invest directly in your own venture, or passively via a USCIS‑designated Regional Center.
Minimum investment thresholds are $1,050,000, or $800,000 when the project is in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA: rural or high unemployment) or qualifies as an infrastructure project. Each investment must create 10 full‑time U.S. jobs within the required period. Funds must be lawfully sourced and fully traceable; gifts and loans are permitted with proper documentation.
Process highlights: select and diligence a project, document source of funds, file Form I‑526E (regional center) or I‑526 (direct), and either adjust status in the U.S. (concurrent filing allows interim work/travel authorization) or complete consular processing abroad. Approved investors receive a two‑year conditional green card, then file Form I‑829 to remove conditions by proving job creation and investment sustainment.
The 2022 Reform and Integrity Act introduced visa set‑asides (rural, high unemployment, infrastructure), integrity audits, and priority processing for many rural projects. EB‑5 offers nationwide mobility, education access, and a potential return on capital, while requiring at‑risk investment and careful project selection and oversight.
BENEFITS
- Direct route to U.S. green cards for investor, spouse, unmarried children under 21; live, work, and study anywhere. - Concurrent filing (if in the U.S.) for interim work/travel; visa set-asides (rural/high-unemployment/infrastructure) may shorten waits.
REQUIREMENTS
- Invest $1,050,000, or $800,000 in a TEA/rural/infrastructure project; create 10 full-time U.S. jobs per investor. - Lawful, fully traceable source/path of funds; capital “at risk” and sustained through I‑829; background and security checks.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS
- Regional Center projects: pooled capital with indirect job credit; typically $800k in qualifying TEA/rural/infrastructure projects. - Direct investment: fund and manage your own enterprise, count W‑2 direct jobs only; greater control and oversight.
