Launch your U.S. future with attorney-guided EB-5 strategy, project diligence, filings, and visa processing.
What Is EB-5?
The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program provides a path to a U.S. green card for qualifying investors who invest in a new commercial enterprise that creates at least 10 full-time U.S. jobs. Minimums are typically $800,000 for qualifying “set-aside” projects (rural / high-unemployment / infrastructure) and $1,050,000 otherwise. The RIA (Reform and Integrity Act) reserves 20% rural, 10% high-unemployment, 2% infrastructure visas each fiscal year, which can help with availability and speed for qualifying projects.
