The EB5 program is intended to encourage both “foreign investments and economic growth”. The EB5 Visa also allows a foreign national the freedom to sponsor him or herself in obtaining permanent residency in the United States.
An investment into a new or existing commercial enterprise, owned and operated by the individual investor is required. However, there are structures that allow investors to be a partner and do not require the individual investor to manage the daily tasks of the enterprise. For more information, please consult with us. As of March 15th, 2022, an investment of $1,050,000 (originally $1,000,000) into a business is required to obtain an EB5 visa, followed by the creation of employment for 10 or more full-time American employees.
The second program—The Immigrant Investor Pilot Program—was created by Section 610 of Public Law 102-395 on October 6, 1992. The investment could only be received by an economic unit defined as a Regional Center. The Regional Investment Center program is ideal for the investor who does not wish to actively operate a business in the U.S. The investor has the option of two investment project types. These are the EB5 Regional center investments or EB5 direct Investment project.
