EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa

The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa is designed for foreign investors seeking permanent residency (green cards) in the United States by investing in a new commercial enterprise that creates jobs. Here’s a detailed overview of the EB-5 visa process:

Key Features of the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa:

Investment Requirement:

• To qualify for the EB-5 visa, investors must invest a specified amount of capital into a new commercial enterprise in the United States. The required investment varies depending on whether the investment is made in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA) or non-TEA.
  
  

Job Creation:

• The EB-5 program mandates that investors create or preserve a certain number of full-time jobs for qualified U.S. workers within a set timeframe. The specific number of jobs required depends on the nature of the investment and its location.
  
  

Regional Centers:

• Many EB-5 investors opt to invest through designated Regional Centers, which are private or public entities that facilitate EB-5 investments in specific geographic areas or industries. Investments made through these centers may qualify for reduced job creation requirements.
  
  

Conditional Residency:

• EB-5 investors and their immediate family members (spouse and children under 21 years old) receive conditional permanent residency in the U.S. for two years. This status is contingent upon the successful completion of the investment.
  
  

I-829 Petition:

• After meeting the investment requirements, investors must file Form I-829, Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions, within 90 days before the second anniversary of their conditional green card approval.
  
  

Permanent Residency:

• Upon approval of the I-829 petition, EB-5 investors and their family members are granted lawful permanent residency in the U.S., allowing them to live, work, and stay in the country indefinitely.
  
  

Citizenship:

• EB-5 investors and their families may be eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship through naturalization after meeting specific residency requirements.
  
  

Additional Requirements:

• In addition to the investment and job creation requirements, EB-5 applicants must demonstrate that their investment funds were lawfully obtained and that their investment will contribute to the U.S. economy.
