    EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program

    A direct path
    to permanent U.S. residency.

    Created by Congress in 1990, the EB-5 program offers investors a structured route to lawful permanent residency through a qualifying investment that creates American jobs — no employer sponsorship, no lottery, no per-country backlog.

    The Challenge

    U.S. immigration
    was never designed
    for your timeline.

    For founders, executives, and global professionals already invested in their U.S. lives, conventional pathways introduce delay, dependency, and risk. EB-5 was built to address exactly that.

    01

    Decade-long backlogs

    Employment-based applicants from high-demand countries face 10+ year waits, stalling careers, families, and long-term plans.

    02

    Visa expiration risk

    OPT and H-1B holders operate under strict deadlines. Without a reliable pathway, legal status and career momentum remain in flux.

    03

    Employer dependency

    Status tethered to a single employer. Layoffs, restructuring, or career pivots can jeopardize years of accumulated investment.

    04

    Family stability

    Spouses face work-authorization barriers. Children risk aging out of dependent status. Family stability hangs in the balance.

    Years of investment in your U.S. career deserve a permanent solution — not another temporary fix.

    The Solution

    A proven investment pathway
    to permanent residency.

    The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program enables qualified investors and their families to obtain permanent U.S. residency through a qualifying investment in a job-creating American enterprise — no employer sponsorship required.

    • Minimum investment: $800,000 in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA)
    • Job creation: Investment must create at least 10 full-time U.S. jobs
    • Lawful source: Investment funds must come from documented lawful sources
    • At-risk requirement: Capital must be deployed and remain at risk during the investment period

    Note: EB-5 is a complex immigration pathway. Individual eligibility depends on many factors. This information is for educational purposes and does not constitute legal advice or guarantee any outcome.

    Advantage 01

    Direct green-card pathway

    Bypass lottery systems and employer-dependent processes. EB-5 provides a direct, investor-controlled route to permanent residency.

    Advantage 02

    Include your entire family

    Spouse and unmarried children under 21 receive green cards as derivative beneficiaries — one investment secures your family's future.

    Advantage 03

    No per-country quotas

    Unlike employment-based categories, EB-5 is not constrained by restrictive country caps that create decade-long backlogs.

    Advantage 04

    Unrestricted U.S. access

    Live, work, and build anywhere in the United States — without employer restrictions or geographic limitations.

    Eligibility & Requirements

    What qualifies
    an EB-5 applicant.

    The program enforces clear thresholds across capital, source, jobs, and structure. Below are the core criteria every petition must satisfy.

    01
    Qualifying investment
    $800,000 in a USCIS-designated Targeted Employment Area, or $1,050,000 otherwise. Funds must be irrevocably committed to the new commercial enterprise.
    02
    Lawful source of funds
    Investors must document the lawful source and path of every dollar — tax returns, business records, sale of property, gifts, or inheritance.
    03
    Job creation
    Each investor's capital must create or preserve at least 10 full-time U.S. jobs within two years of conditional residency.
    04
    At-risk capital
    Capital must be irrevocably committed and remain at risk throughout the sustainment period — guarantees of return are prohibited.
    05
    Eligible enterprise
    Investment must be made in a new commercial enterprise sponsored by a USCIS-designated Regional Center, such as GCRC.
    06
    Active management
    Investors satisfy the management requirement through policy-making participation rights granted by the limited partnership structure.
