    What Is the EB-5 Visa Program?

    EB-5 Visa in Brooklyn NYC

    The purpose of an EB-5 visa is to grow the United States economy through investment and job creation. To qualify, you must invest in a U.S. business and create at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers. You may need a minimum investment of $1,050,000, which can be lowered to $800,000 in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA) if you’re planning to invest in a high-unemployment area. The steps for getting an EB-5 visa include:

    • Choosing a project
    • Filing and making the investment
    • Receiving approval for a conditional green card
    • Creating jobs and removing the conditions

    What Documentation Is Required for an EB-5 Visa Application?

    General documentation for an EB-5 visa includes copies of your passport and birth certificate, police clearance certificates from any country where you have lived for more than six months, and current financial statements of your business. Your source of funds documentation like tax returns, employment records and business ownership documents are also required for an EB-5 visa. Other needed documents for your EB-5 visa application may include:

    • Proof of investment. This consists of documentation of the funds that you have transferred into the investment account, escrow account records as well as the investment agreement you made with the company into which your money is going.
    • Proof of job creation. You must be able to show how your investment can create 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers. In addition, you need to document what you forecast as the economic impact of your investment and employment records if you’ve already begun to hire.
    • Business documentation. Officials want to see your company’s articles of incorporation, business licenses, operational agreements, balance sheets, and profit and loss statements.

    You may also need Regional Center evidence, which proves that the Regional Center is approved by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). You need to provide detailed information about the Regional Center and your agreement to invest in the Regional Center project. To ensure the accuracy of your documents, an experienced EB-5 visa attorney handles requests for additional information or documentation from USCIS.

    What Are the Benefits of an EB-5 Visa?

    If you’re an investor, the EB-5 visa offers many advantages, including a fast track to getting a green card for you and your family. Other employment-based visa categories, such as EB-2, EB-3 and EB-4 visas, require an employer or family member to sponsor you. You don’t need any sponsorship for an EB-5 visa, which can provide you a more direct path to residency. Other benefits you receive with an EB-5 visa may include:

    • S. citizenship. If you maintain your green card status for five years, you and your family members can be eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship.
    • Educational opportunities. If you get permanent residency, both you and your family can access the U.S. educational system, including public schools, and qualify for in-state tuition rates at public universities.
    • Work authorization. Your spouse and children can also obtain work permits that allow them to look for employment opportunities while living in the U.S.

    You have the option to invest in different project too, including those within Regional Centers or direct investments, which allow you to select the opportunity that best fits your financial goals. And you and your family aren’t restricted to living near your investment — you can choose to live and work in any part of the United States.
