EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program

WHAT IS EB-5?

EB-5 is a visa category that allows for immigration by investment into the United States. Under this program, a single investment can allow the investor, their spouse, and unmarried children under age 21 to receive a permanent visa (green card).

What is a qualifying EB-5 investment? $800,000 for TEA (Targeted Employment Area) projects; $1,050,000 for non-TEA projects. The investment project must create or preserve (if a “troubled business”) at least 10 qualifying jobs per EB-5 investor.

The EB-5 program is administered by United States Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS). Congress created the EB-5 program in 1990 to stimulate the U.S. economy. In 1992, Congress added the Regional Center Program, which sets aside EB-5 visas for participants who invest in commercial enterprises associated with regional centers designated by USCIS.

WHAT IS AN EXPEDITED PETITION?

An expedited EB-5 project is one that has been determined by USCIS to serve an urgent humanitarian need and/or a compelling U.S. government interest and thus may be adjudicated on an expedited basis for project approval. Investors who can demonstrate that their investment, by investing in an expedited project, will serve an urgent humanitarian need and/or a compelling U.S. government interest, may also receive expedited processing of their I-526 petition (however, expedited processing is not guaranteed.)

By investing in an expedited EB-5 project, investors may need to wait only a few months instead of a few years for their I-526 petition to be approved (however, to remind again, expedited processing is not guaranteed.)
