Question 1

What is the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program?

Accepted Answer

The EB-5 visa program, established by the U.S. Congress in 1990, offers immigration benefits to foreign investors who seek permanent residency in the United States through investment. The program's goal is to encourage foreign direct investment and job creation in the U.S.

Question 2

What are the minimum investment and other requirements for EB-5?

Accepted Answer

Foreign investors must invest a minimum of $800,000 in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA) or $1,050,000 in a non-TEA area. The investment must be lawfully sourced and fully documented, and it must lead to the creation of 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers. Over 90% of EB-5 applications are submitted through USCIS-designated Regional Centers. Qualified applicants may receive an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and Advance Parole (AP) – allowing them to live, work, and travel in the U.S. within as fast as 3 months. Investment returns can potentially offset all application-related costs, making the EB-5 program both a pathway to residency and a sound financial decision.

Question 3

What is the EB-5 process?

Accepted Answer

Filing the EB-5 Immigrant Petition (Form I-526E) The investor submits Form I-526E ("Immigrant Petition by Regional Center Investor") to USCIS together with evidence of a lawful source of funds, project details, and projected job creation. Obtaining a Conditional Green Card After I-526E approval: - Outside the U.S. - attend an immigrant-visa interview at a U.S. consulate. - Inside the U.S. - file Form I-485 to adjust status. Applying for a Permanent Green Card (Form I-829) Within 90 days before the conditional card expires, file Form I-829 to remove conditions. If the investment is sustained and 10 full-time U.S. jobs have been created, USCIS approves permanent residence for the investor and eligible family members.

Question 4

What are the requirements to apply for an EB-5 visa?

Accepted Answer

Minimum investment amount Invest $800,000 in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA) or $1,050,000 in a non-TEA project approved by USCIS. Job-creation obligation The investment must create at least 10 qualifying full-time jobs that are maintained for a minimum of two years. Investor admissibility The investor must have no disqualifying criminal record and must meet the general admissibility criteria of U.S. immigration law.

Question 5

Can my family members be included in my EB-5 application?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once your EB-5 visa is approved, your spouse and unmarried children under 21 may accompany you to the United States and obtain both conditional and, later, permanent residence. Spouses - opposite- or same-sex marriages qualify; common-law partners do not. Children - includes birth children, adopted children, and stepchildren, provided you can prove the legal parent-child relationship.
