EB5 Information

What is an EB5 immigrant investor visa?

The U.S. immigrant investor program provides for the issuance of "conditional" or temporary (two year) green cards to qualifying immigrant investors and their families who invest a minimum of US $1 million (US$500,000 in designated target areas) in businesses that create at least ten full-time permanent jobs for U.S. workers. Provided that the investment is maintained and achieves the job requirements of the Program, "unconditional" or permanent U.S.A. green cards will be issued after two years.

Benefits of the EB5 Investor Visa

Upon receipt of conditional permanent resident status, the investor's family (spouse and children under the age of 21 at time of application) are entitled to the same benefits as other lawful permanent residents. Some of these benefits include:

• Living and working anywhere in the U.S.
• No employment authorization required to accept employment
• Ability to develop and run your own business
• Sponsor green cards for your relatives
• Become a U.S. citizen once you have been a permanent resident for more than five years
