In order to qualify under the EB-5 category, foreign investors must:
Invest $1 million in either a new or existing U.S. business or commercial enterprise that will create at least 10 full-time U.S. jobs,  or
Invest $500,000 in a new or existing U.S. business or commercial enterprise that is in either a rural area or an area with a high unemployment rate, or
Invest $500,000 in a U.S. government designated Regional Center.

Special Pilot Program/Regional Centers
The Immigrant Investor Pilot Program providing a vehicle for investment in the form of an economic unit called a “Regional Center.” The Regional Centers are private or public entities with government approval in designated regions in the United States.
For the Investor, these Regional Centers are attractive because they allow for a less restrictive job creation requirement. Instead of having to prove direct job creation, the investor may show indirect job creation through such methods as economic and statistic forecasting tools.
The EB-5 Visa is the only visa that automatically converts to Legal Permanent Residence (Green Card) if applied and approved. Obtain a Immigration Timeline brochure on the left to view the steps to the process.
