The EB-5 Visa Immigrant Investors visa was created by the Immigration Act of 1990. The EB-5 Visa provides a method of obtaining a Green Card for foreign nationals who invest money in the United States.
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services administer the Immigrant Investor Program, commonly referred to as “EB-5,” to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors. Under a pilot immigration program, certain EB-5 visas also are set aside for investors in Regional Centers designated by Unites States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) based on proposals for promoting economic growth.
Advantages of using EB-5
The U.S. immigrant investor program is the most flexible in the world. It sets no requirements based on age, business training and experience, or language skills.
The U.S. immigrant investor program also allows investors a great deal of freedom because it does not require immigrant investors to manage their investment on a daily basis. Rather, investors only need to ‘actively engage’ in a business enterprise, meaning they can be limited partners and pursue other professional or personal ventures.
Moreover, should the investor and his or her family elect to become U.S. citizens, the time spent as conditional permanent residents is credited towards the five year lawful permanent residency requirement for U.S. citizenship. Generally, as a permanent resident, the investor and his or her family are free to return to their homeland for visits or business purposes, as long as they do not abandon or have an intention of abandoning their residence in the U.S.
