EB-5 VISA REQUIREMENTS

EB-5 visas are granted for the purpose of investing in a “new commercial enterprise” in the U.S. Generally speaking, you must invest at least $1,800,000, or $900,000 USD if the location of the business is in an area of exceptionally high unemployment or in a targeted rural area. The investment must also either create at least ten permanent full-time jobs for qualified U.S. workers or preserve at least ten jobs in a troubled business, and there are requirements regarding the level of involvement which the investor must have in the day-to-day management of the enterprise.

For wealthy people who wish to invest money into the U.S. economy, the EB-5 Visa can provide a quick method of obtaining permanent residence. In fact, you may get permanent residence immediately upon entering the U.S. with an EB-5 Visa. This will allow you to avoid additional paperwork and additional consular processing that would seek permanent residence after a Visa.

You do not have to have experience or business training in order to obtain an EB-5 Visa. As long as you have the required amount of money to invest and your business investment meets other requirements, the Government will likely grant your Visa. There is no prohibition against certain countries. However, U.S. immigration authorities do question immigrants from all countries, especially those from countries that frequently submit fraudulent activity.
