If you need an EB-5 visas, you want a team who can help you get approval as an investor in the US. Houston EB5 has an exceptional record of working with foreign investors to help them receive their US Green Card through real estate investment. You’ll discover many benefits to working with our team when you choose Houston EB5.
What Is the EB-5 Visa Program?
The United States Congress created an employment-based preference immigrant visa category in 1990 within the Immigration and Nationality Act. This provision allows up to 10,000 immigrant visas to be issued to individuals who qualify based on their investment in a new commercial enterprise that offers benefits to the economy.
The Regional Center Pilot Program was developed that same year to encourage immigration under the EB 5 program. An investor can seek a visa through the Regional Center with a qualifying donation of at least $1,050,000 with exceptions for some rural areas. Houston EB5 was developed under this program to help investors find qualifying projects and assist them in receiving their green cards and (potential) citizenships.
We’re Invested in Your Success
Unlike other regional center models, Houston EB5 invests in each part of the process. We are the principal owner of each project instead of the middleman. We know the ins and outs of the project and can answer your questions to help you feel confident about where your money is going.
While other regional center models profit by raising funds and avoiding the risks associated with client investments, Houston EB5 shares in the risk. We invest our own capital in each EB-5 project. We won’t steer you in the wrong direction with a risky scheme that is likely to fail. We profit from the success of the project and, like you, we want to see it do well.
We Control Project Savings
Because we invest in our own projects, our process provides a lower risk and higher return for other investors. Most models offer a low return with high risk.
Other regional center models don’t have any control over the success of the project. Since they just act as the middleman, they can’t determine savings to help the project succeed. Houston EB5 is the developer and/or operator in every project we offer, controlling savings for the project. We are invested in seeing maximum success in each project we offer.
Founded by a Fellow Immigrant
In 2011, Houston EB5 was founded by Roberto Contreras Sr. who years earlier obtain his citizenship through an investment with a stone fabrication company. This company was similar to one of our most recent offerings, Moderno Porcelain Works. Contreras’ first company was Technimar Industries, which would become Cambria. He continued to found new companies as he sought the American dream.
Mr. Contreras would continue to develop a reputation for his business ventures. In 2002, he received the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award.
Today, Houston EB5 is headquartered in Houston, Texas, and helps international investors gain their Green Card and permanent US residency by making an investment. The company specializes in mixed-use projects, suburban developments, and residential high- and mid-rise projects.
Driven to Success
Houston EB5 continues to deliver projects that are profitable for their investors. By 2019, the company had completed seven raises, which together totaled more than $1.3 billion in project costs. The development projects have been selected because of their dedication to high quality and the ability to generate a large number of jobs for the local economies. The project approval rate has stayed at 100 percent since 2011.
Two of the projects have been recognized for their ability to make a significant contribution to the city while helping to enhance the overall image and feel of Houston. Arabella won the Houston Business Journal’s Landmark Awards in 2019 as a condominium project for the Galleria area.
Leading the Way for New Investors
In 2019, the founder utilized his many years of experience as an entrepreneur with Moderno Porcelain Works. Many investors can receive their EB-5 visas in just a few months instead of taking years with the E-2 Visa program. – This does not make sense nor is accurate.

How We Partner With You for EB 5 Visas
Houston EB5 is more than just a company that raises funds for projects. We partner with you through the entire process to get your EB-5 visas. We’ll answer your questions and work with immigration attorneys to help you create a petition that gets approved.
We keep detailed documentation on your investments and projects to show that you have met all requirements of the program. Our team continues to provide reports on the progress of the project along with the jobs being created. We also keep you up to date on the status of your funds and how they are being used. We supply all necessary documentation for you to prepare tax returns.
To start the process, you fill out the investor questionnaire and sign the offering and subscription documents. An immigration attorney will file an I-526 petition. Once it has been approved, you will receive a conditional green card for two years and move to the US. Before the expiration of the green card, the attorney submits a petition to have the conditions removed. After this, it can become permanent. After five years, you can apply for permanent citizenship.
