Frequently Asked Questions about the EB-5 Program
Here are some of the most common questions about the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program.
The minimum investment amount for the EB-5 program is $800,000 for projects located in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA). For projects outside of a TEA, the minimum investment is $1,050,000.
The EB-5 visa allows the primary investor, their spouse, and any unmarried children under the age of 21 to apply for U.S. permanent residency (a Green Card).
The EB-5 program requires that each investment create or preserve at least 10 full-time jobs for qualified U.S. workers within a two-year period.
Due to the complexity and extensive documentation requirements of the EB-5 program, it is highly recommended that you work with an experienced immigration attorney. They can provide essential guidance throughout the entire process.
