    Frequently Asked Questions

    Clear, direct
    answers on EB-5.

    Plain-language responses to the questions investors, families, and advisors ask most often about the program, eligibility, timeline, and risks.

    Section 01

    About the program

    Foundational questions about EB-5: what it is, why Congress created it, and how it differs from other immigration pathways.

    The EB-5 program was created by Congress in 1990 to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors. It provides a path to lawful permanent residency for investors who meet the program's requirements — including a qualifying capital investment, lawful source of funds, and creation of at least 10 full-time U.S. jobs.

    Section 02

    Investment & capital

    Minimums, source-of-funds documentation, and how the at-risk requirement is structured.

    Section 03

    Family & eligibility

    How EB-5 extends to dependents and what existing visa holders should consider.

    Section 04

    Timeline & outcomes

    Realistic expectations on processing, approvals, and what GCRC can and cannot guarantee.
