The EB-5 Program was created by as a way to stimulate the U.S. economy by giving green cards to eligible foreign nationals who make capital investments into job-creating U.S. commercial enterprises.
EB-5 investors who are looking for direct involvement in all aspects of the EB-5 project may opt to invest in the Direct Investment Program, while investors who are interested in a more hands-off project may be more interested in investing in the EB-5 Regional Center Program.
The minimum capital investment is $1,800,000 in a non-targeted employment area and $900,000 in a targeted employment area. A targeted employment area (TEA) is a rural or high-unemployment area.
Investors in the Direct Investment Program must create 10 full-time direct jobs, while investors in the Regional Center Program may create 10 full-time direct, indirect or induced jobs.
Qualified EB-5 investors may become eligible for first conditional permanent residency and then later unconditional permanent residency status (green card status) for themselves, their spouses and their unmarried children under the age of 21 years.
With green cards, EB-5 investors and their families may live, work, study and travel anywhere throughout the U.S. They may also qualify for great U.S. benefits such as reduced tuition at certain schools.
