EB‑5 Immigrant Investor Program

The EB‑5 Immigrant Investor Program, established by the U.S. Congress in 1990, aims to attract foreign capital and stimulate job creation in the United States. Eligible investors and their immediate family members (spouse and unmarried children under 21) may apply for a conditional green card, which can be converted to permanent status upon meeting the requirements.

Program Requirements:

• Investment Amount: Minimum $800,000 for TEA projects; $1,050,000 for non‑TEA projects;
• Job Creation: Must create or preserve at least 10 full‑time positions for qualified U.S. workers within two years;
• Source of Funds: Investment funds must be legally sourced, including business income, asset sales, gifts, or inheritance;
• Management Role: Direct investments require active participation; regional center investments allow a more passive role.
