The EB-5 Process: A Brief Overview
The EB-5 Visa was created by the 1990 Immigration Act. It provides a process for foreign investors to become permanent lawful residents through their investment of funds into a U.S.-
based business which will create at least ten (10) jobs and stimulate the US economy.  The EB-5 process may result in legal permanent residency (a “green card”) for you, your spouse, and your unmarried children under the age of 21. It requires a minimum investment of $500,000 to $1 million, and the total process usually takes around 22 to 26 months. Other visa programs may take up to several years, and the EB-5 visa has become an attractive option for foreign nationals with large sums of money to invest and who desire to obtain permanent residency here in the U.S. Simply put, if a foreign national invests $500,000 to $1 million and creates at least ten (10) full-time jobs for American workers, they are eligible for an EB-5 visa and legal permanent residency for themselves and their family.

The United States government does not wait for two years to grant permanent residency; it grants conditional permanent residency for two years upon filing and approval of the initial application.
