EB-5 Investment-based Visa Program

EB-5 Investment-based Visa Program

It was created by U.S. Congress in 1993 as an economic development initiative administered by USCIS. This investment-based visa program stimulates foreign capital inflow for American infrastructure projects and job growth. Initially designed as a temporary measure, the program evolved in 2004 with the establishment of Regional Centers to facilitate investments. To date, the EB-5 program has enabled numerous qualified investors and their families to obtain U.S. permanent residency (Green Cards) while contributing to the nation's economic development.
