EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program

The Direct Path to U.S. Permanent Residency

The EB-5 Visa is the gold standard for high-net-worth individuals seeking a U.S. Green Card. By making a qualifying capital investment that creates U.S. jobs, you, your spouse, and unmarried children under 21 can obtain permanent residency.

Following the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022, the program offers renewed stability and unique benefits, including the ability to file for a Green Card immediately while inside the U.S.

Investment Requirements

Targeted Employment Area (TEA)

$800,000

The Preferred Route.
Investment in a rural area or an area with high unemployment (150% of national average). Most Regional Center projects are structured to qualify for this lower threshold.

Standard Investment

$1,050,000

Non-TEA Projects.
For investments in prosperous urban areas that do not qualify as TEAs. The requirement is higher, but allows flexibility in location choice for Direct Investors.

Choose Your Path: Regional Center vs. Direct

Regional Center (Passive)

95% of applicants choose this. You invest in a large project (hotel, resort, housing) managed by a USCIS-designated Regional Center.

  • Role: You are a Limited Partner (hands-off).
  • Job Creation: Indirect and Induced jobs count (easier to prove).
  • Exit: Capital is typically returned after 5-7 years.

Direct Investment (Active)

You invest in your own business or a specific enterprise you control.

  • Role: You manage the business.
  • Job Creation: You must directly hire 10 full-time W-2 employees.
  • Exit: Your capital is tied to the business success.

⚠️ The Critical Step: Source of Funds

USCIS does not just want your money; they want to know exactly where it came from. The #1 reason for EB-5 denial is failure to prove the “Lawful Source of Funds.”

We meticulously document every dollar, whether it comes from:

  • Property Sales (Real Estate)
  • Shareholder Dividends or Business Income
  • Gifts from Parents or Relatives
  • Loans secured by personal assets

New Benefit: Concurrent Filing

Under the 2022 Reform Act, if you are already in the U.S. on a valid visa (e.g., H-1B, F-1), you can now file your Green Card Application (I-485) at the same time as your EB-5 Petition.

Why is this huge? It allows you to apply for a Work Permit (EAD) and Travel Document (AP) immediately, giving you freedom to work and travel years before the Green Card is officially approved.

Project Due Diligence

Not all Regional Centers are created equal. We protect your interests by reviewing project documents for immigration compliance before you wire any funds.
