U.S. Investment Immigration Program
OVERVIEW OF THE EB-5 IMMIGRATION PROGRAM
The EB-5 visa is an immigration program for foreign investors who wish to obtain a U.S. green card through investment in eligible projects. Once the application is approved, the investor and their family will be granted a conditional green card , allowing them to live and work in the United States.
The program is designed to attract international capital and create jobs for the U.S. economy . In return, investors are granted permanent residency for their entire family, including spouses and dependent children.
Compared to other immigration programs, the EB-5 program has a clear pathway and does not rely on employment sponsorship . This makes it a suitable option for investors who want to proactively control their long-term immigration and financial plans.
Investment Through a Regional Center
This is currently the most common EB-5 investment option, with a minimum investment of USD 800,000 for projects located in targeted employment areas (TEA). Investors are not required to directly manage the business, while job creation requirements may be fulfilled indirectly through the project.
This option is suitable for investors who prioritize stability, a clear process, and minimal involvement in day-to-day operations.
Direct Investment
This option is designed for investors who wish to directly operate and manage a business in the United States. The investment amount is typically from USD 1,050,000 or higher, depending on the scale and industry of the business.
