A LEADING LUXURY DEVELOPER AND AWARD-WINNING EB-5 REGIONAL CENTER
Your Path to U.S. Permanent Residency
The EB-5 visa provides a direct pathway for foreign investors and their immediate families to obtain U.S. permanent residency — without an employer sponsor, job offer, or language requirement.
By making a minimum investment of $800,000 in a USCIS-approved project located in a Targeted Employment Area, applicants can live, work, and study anywhere in the United States.
How the EB-5 Program Works
EB-5 Timeline & Process
Prepare source of funds & file I-526E
Document your lawful source of funds and submit your I-526E petition with your immigration attorney.
I-526E approved by USCIS
Rural TEA projects qualify for priority processing — approvals in as little as 4 months.
Consular interview or adjustment of status
Outside U.S.: consular interview. Inside U.S.: file Form I-485 concurrently or after approval.
Receive conditional Green Card
You and your immediate family receive a 2-year conditional Green Card with full U.S. residency rights.
File I-829 to remove conditions
File within the 90-day window before your conditional Green Card expires. USCIS verifies job creation.
Permanent Green Card issued
Conditions removed. You are a lawful permanent U.S. resident with a clear path to citizenship after 5 years.
*Processing times may vary due to consulate availability and USCIS workload. View the full timeline.
More Than a Regional Center
A team of immigrants working for immigrants.
Having become a U.S. citizen through the EB-5 program himself, Roberto Contreras Sr. founded Houston EB5 in 2011. The executives at Houston EB5 take enormous pride in working with you directly, hand in hand — bringing a deeply personal understanding of the immigration journey to every client relationship.
Certified by USCIS as an EB-5 Regional Center, Houston EB5 is vertically integrated with the developer of each project — meaning we invest alongside you and can only succeed when you do. Over $1.5 billion in total project value. More than 1,600 green cards sponsored.
