What is EB-5?

INTRODUCTION TO EB-5

• EB-5 is not just an investment transaction; the returns received from an EB-5 investment are large in scale.
•  From a family seeking a new beginning, to a child receiving world-class education.
• EB-5 acts as a bridge for future opportunities.

Why is EB-5 Important?
EB-5 Investment is a Win-Win-Win.

1. Developers gain access to affordable capital.
2. The community benefits from increased job creation.
3.  And Foreign Investors can safely and legally immigrate to the United States.

So what is EB-5?

The EB-5 program is an investment to immigrate program created by Congress in 1990.

 Foreign nationals can get a Green Card if their investment of $800,000 or $1,050,000 into a local project creates at least 10 full-time American jobs.

The program enjoys bipartisan support. Since 2005, the EB-5 program has secured over $6.5 billion in foreign direct investment and has created more than 131,000 new full-time jobs, at no expense to the taxpayers.

EB-5 Direct Investment into the US.

 Annually, the EB-5 Program accounts for less than 1% of the visas issued by the U.S. Throughout the process, EB-5 investors are subject to the same background checks and national security screenings as applicants in any other visa category, and their ability to eventually apply for citizenship is subject to the same criteria as other visa holders. Like any other investment vehicle, EB-5 investment funds are subject to U.S. securities and anti-fraud laws and regulations.

Investments made through the U.S. EB-5 program must be “at-risk” in the same way that investments in stocks or equity funds carry an inherent risk. There is no guaranteed financial return.

If their application is approved by USCIS, EB-5 investors receive a conditional visa that is valid for two years. In order to receive a permanent visa, these investors must demonstrate that the legally required economic benefits flowing from their investments have been achieved.
