Secure permanent U.S. residency for you and your family through a qualified investment. Discover the pathway to the Green Card through the employment-based fifth preference visa.
The EB-5 program was created by the U.S. Congress in 1990 to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors. It serves as a direct path to a Green Card for the investor, their spouse, and unmarried children under 21.
Unlike other visa categories, the EB-5 visa does not require sponsorship from an employer or family member. It is solely based on the merit of your investment into a qualifying U.S. commercial enterprise.
$800,000 for TEA projects or $1,050,000 for standard investments.
Processing Time
Varies by country, typically 24-48 months. Expedited processing available for rural projects.
