EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program

The Right Investment for your future

Under this program, investors (and their spouses and unmarried children under 21) are eligible to apply for lawful permanent residence (become a Green Card holder) if they:

• Make the necessary investment in a commercial enterprise in the United States; 

  or

• Plan to create or preserve 10 permanent full-time jobs for qualified U.S. workers.

All EB-5 investors must invest in a new commercial enterprise that was established:

• After Nov. 29, 1990; or

• On or before Nov. 29, 1990, that was:

  • Purchased and the existing business is restructured or reorganized in such a way that a new commercial enterprise results; or

  • Expanded through the investment, resulting in at least a 40% increase in the net worth or number of employees.

A new commercial enterprise means any for-profit activity formed for the ongoing conduct of lawful business, including:

• A sole proprietorship;

• Partnership (whether limited or general);

• Holding company and its wholly owned subsidiaries (provided that each subsidiary is engaged in a for-profit activity formed for the ongoing conduct of a lawful business);

• Joint venture;

• Corporation;

• Business trust;

• Limited liability company; or

• Other entity, which may be publicly or privately owned.
