Direct Path to U.S. Residency
with an EB-5

The EB-5 visa program offers foreign investors a direct path to U.S. permanent residency. By meeting EB-5 visa requirements through a qualifying investment, applicants and their families—including a spouse and unmarried children under 21—can secure green cards without the need for employer or family sponsorship.

The EB-5 program allows you to live, work, and study anywhere in the United States while enjoying the same rights as other lawful permanent residents. For many, it is both an immigration solution and an opportunity to contribute to the U.S. economy.

If you are considering this path, our experienced EB-5 attorney can guide you through the process, helping you minimize risks and avoid costly mistakes.

  • Capital Investment – The minimum investment is $1,050,000, or $800,000 if the project is located in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA).
  • At-Risk Investment – The funds must remain at risk for the purpose of generating a return.
  • Job Creation – The investment must create or preserve at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers.
  • Lawful Source of Funds – Applicants must provide clear documentation proving their investment money was obtained legally.

How to Apply for the EB-5 Visa

The EB-5 process involves several steps:

  1. Confirm Eligibility

Review your financial capacity and confirm you meet EB-5 visa requirements with your attorney.

  1. Select an Investment

Decide between a direct investment or a regional center project.

  1. File Form I-526

Your EB-5 attorney will prepare and file the petition proving that your investment meets program rules.

  1. Receive Conditional Green Card

If approved, you and your family will be granted conditional permanent residency for two years.

  1. Maintain Requirements

During the two-year period, you must sustain the investment and meet job creation goals.

  1. File Form I-829

At the end of the conditional period, your attorney will help remove conditions and secure your permanent green card.

Each step requires careful documentation and attention to detail. Legal guidance is critical to avoid errors or delays.

Processing Times for the EB-5 Visa

Processing times for EB-5 visas can vary. Typically, USCIS takes 12 to 24 months to review an EB-5 petition, but cases may take longer depending on backlog, additional evidence requests, or investment project complexity. Once conditions are removed, applicants and their families obtain permanent residency.
