  1. Introduction to EB-5 Investment Program

  2. EB-5 Visa Investment Program The EB-5 Visa Investment Program allows a foreign national, his spouse, and unmarried children below age 21, to immigrate to the United States through financial investment.

  3. How much should I invest?

  4. The minimum amount for an EB-5 investment is $1,800,000. It is reduced to half at $900,000 for investments in a targeted employment area (TEA) project.

  5. What does a TEA Project mean?

  6. A TEA project is a project that is located in areas with high unemployment rates or those located in rural areas. An urban area with at least 150% unemployment rate higher than the national average is considered as a high-unemployment TEA.

  7. What are the requirements for an EB-5 investment?

  8. Aside from the minimum financial investment of $1,800,000 or $900,000, the following are requirements for an EB-5 investment: Documentation that the EB-5 capital comes from legal sources EB-5 investment must remain "at-risk" for the entire period of two years conditional permanent residency EB-5 investor must be able to prove that his investment has created at least 10 new full-time jobs f that last at least two years for US workers

  9. What is the difference between direct investment and investing through an EB-5 Regional Center?

  10. Direct investment is a good option for EB-5 investors who want to be involved in the day-to-day management of the NCE (new commercial enterprise) generated by their EB-5 investment. It can result in a bigger financial return. USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) only counts jobs that are directly listed on the payroll of the NCE. A majority of EB-5 investors make their investments through an authorized EB-5 regional center. Investment through an EB-5 regional center is best for investors who have no or less managerial experience and do not want to be involved in the day-to-day operations of the NCE. EB-5 investors through the regional center program can live anywhere in the U.S., unlike with direct investment where investors must live close to their chosen project. Also, USCIS counts direct, indirect, and induced jobs for the job creation requirements. Therefore, it is easier to achieve the 10 new, full-time job creation requirement.
