A foreign investor qualifies if they:
• Are eligible under U.S. immigration law;
• Make a qualifying investment in a new U.S. commercial enterprise;
• Create or preserve at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers; and
• Can prove the investment funds were obtained legally
For an EB-5 Visa, the minimum qualifying investment amounts are:
$1,050,000: Standard EB-5 investment in most locations.
$800,000: Reduced threshold if the investment is in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA), which includes:
Rural areas, or
High-unemployment areas (unemployment significantly above the national average).
You can become a U.S. Permanent Resident (Green Card holder) by qualifying under a family, employment, diversity lottery, refugee/asylee, investor (EB-5), or special immigrant category. The process generally involves filing an approved immigrant petition, applying through adjustment of status or consular processing, and receiving approval from U.S. immigration authorities.
The USA provides immigrant visas based on employment, family ties, and investment potential. If you have the funds, the best way to relocate is to make an investment that can create at least 10 jobs and apply for an EB-5 Visa. The longer routes are employment visas and family sponsorship.
Yes, U.S. permanent residency can lead to citizenship. Most Green Card holders may apply for naturalization after 5 years (or 3 years if married to a U.S. citizen), provided they meet the residency, good moral character, and other legal requirements.
The E‑2 Visa is an investor visa for citizens of treaty countries, allowing them to run a U.S. business in exchange for temporary residency without a direct path to a green card. The EB‑5 Visa is a permanent investor visa open to all nationalities that requires a higher investment and job creation, and it provides a direct path to U.S. permanent residency and possible citizenship.
