EB-5 Immigrant Investor

A green card through investment and job creation.

The EB-5 is a direct path to permanent residence for investors who put capital into a U.S. business and create jobs. The case is won in the documentation — the investment, the jobs, and where the money came from.

Where EB-5 cases are won or lost

Capital, jobs, and a clean money trail.

EB-5 is one of the most document-intensive paths in immigration. We build it to survive a close read by USCIS.

The investment

Meeting the threshold

The required investment is currently $800,000 in a targeted employment area (TEA) or $1,050,000 otherwise. We confirm the amount, that it is at risk, and that it is properly placed.

Job creation

Ten qualifying jobs

Your investment must create at least ten full-time positions for U.S. workers. We make sure the job-creation model is credible and documented — whether direct or through a regional center.

Direct vs Regional Center

The right structure & source of funds

We help you weigh a direct investment against a regional-center project, and assemble a traceable source-of-funds record — the part of an EB-5 filing that most often draws scrutiny.

Common Questions

What investors ask first.

How much do I need to invest for EB-5?

The minimum is currently $800,000 if you invest in a targeted employment area (a rural area or one with high unemployment), or $1,050,000 otherwise. These figures are set by statute and adjust over time.

How many jobs must I create?

At least ten full-time jobs for qualifying U.S. workers, generally within about two years of your admission as a conditional permanent resident.

What is the difference between direct and regional center EB-5?

A direct investment means you invest in and help run your own new commercial enterprise. A regional center investment pools capital into a designated project and allows job creation to be counted more flexibly. Each has trade-offs we’ll walk through.

Does EB-5 lead directly to a green card?

Yes — you first receive a two-year conditional green card, then file Form I-829 to remove conditions once the investment and job-creation requirements are met.

Why does source of funds matter so much?

USCIS requires a clear, lawful, traceable path for your invested capital. Gaps in that trail are a leading cause of EB-5 delays and denials, so we build the documentation early.
