EB-5 Visa

Discover how the EB-5 visa can help you gain permanent residency in the U.S. through strategic investment—while opening new opportunities for your future and your family.

EB-5 Visa

The EB-5 visa offers a direct pathway to permanent residency in the United States for eligible foreign investors. Designed to promote economic growth and job creation, this program is ideal for individuals seeking to invest in the U.S. while securing a future for their family.

Who Qualifies for the EB-5 Visa?

To be eligible for the EB-5 visa, an investor must meet the following criteria:

  • Invest at least $1.8 million in a new commercial enterprise, or $900,000 in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA)—an area with high unemployment or rural characteristics

  • Create or preserve at least 10 full-time jobs for qualified U.S. workers within two years of the investment

Two EB-5 Investment Pathways

Direct Investment

In this route, the investor plays an active role in managing the business operations. This hands-on approach is best suited for entrepreneurs who wish to be directly involved in day-to-day activities.

Regional Center Investment

A more passive option, this allows investors to contribute funds through government-approved regional centers. These centers handle the project management and job creation metrics, making it a preferred route for those seeking less involvement.

What Happens After You Invest?

Once your investment is made and job creation is underway, you may apply for the EB-5 visa. If approved:

  • You and your immediate family (spouse and unmarried children under 21) receive conditional permanent residency for two years

  • You must maintain your investment and ensure job creation goals are met

  • After two years, you can apply to remove conditions and obtain unrestricted permanent residency

Why Choose the EB-5 Visa?

  • Live, work, and study anywhere in the U.S. with permanent residency

  • No additional visas required for reentry after international travel

  • Access to top-tier education, healthcare, and long-term benefits for you and your family

While the EB-5 visa offers exceptional opportunities, it also comes with significant financial and legal complexity. Proper planning and due diligence are critical. A carefully prepared petition can help minimize risk and maximize your chances of success.
