WHAT IS EB-5 INVESTMENT VISA/GREEN CARD?
Very loosely stated, the EB-5 visa is an immigration visa designed to allow well-established persons such as you to live in the United States. The visa allows you, the investor, to invest as little as $900,000 into a new business or a designated EB-5 regional center program and gain legal permanent residence—what is commonly referred to as a US “green card”—in the United States for life, or for as long as you choose to build your life here. The EB-5 is not the only investment-based visa option, but it is the only one that enables the investor to apply directly for permanent resident status in exchange for significant investment in the US economy.
