EB-5  - THE INVESTOR'S VISA

If the procedure is done through a Regional Center “RC” certified by the Federal Government, the following is required:

 

  • A minimum investment amount is $ 900,000.00 (Nine hundred thousand dollars).

 

  • The creation of 10 jobs becomes the responsibility of the Regional Center, not the investor.

 

  • The legal process for permanent residency is submitted by the immigration attorney representing the Regional Center on behalf of the investor.

 

An individual may choose to find the investment and submit the legal requirements on his own and in this scenario, a minimum investment of $ 900,000 - $1,200,000 (one million dollars) is mandatory and the creation of 10 direct jobs becomes the investor's responsibility. The investor is also responsible for hiring an immigration attorney to represent him through the process.

What is the Minimum Investment Required?

REGIONAL CENTER (RC)

  • The Regional Center is a managed investment vehicle that can be private or public. The Regional Center takes responsibility for the investor's legal process and must demonstrate the creation of 10 direct or indirect jobs needed to meet the Federal Government Requirements for the acquisition of a Green Card.

 

  • The RC minimizes the responsibility of the investor to create their own company, to conduct the legal process and ensure the creation of 10 jobs.

 

  • The RC is responsible to prove to the Federal Government that the requirements are being met.

INVESTMENT

As of 2019, The USA Federal Government requires that the $900,000 - $1,200,000 investment is considered to be “at risk”. However, the Regional Center usually offers annual dividends and furthermore, they may offer to purchase the investor's shares in the development after five years, when the legal process is complete.

 

  • $900,000.00 Minimum Investment Required
