Intro to EB-5

What is EB-5?

The EB-5 program is an invest to immigrate program created by Congress in 1990. Foreign nationals can get a Green Card if their investment of $800,000 or $1,050,000 into a local project creates at least 10 full-time American jobs. The program enjoys bipartisan support. Since 2014, the EB-5 program has $14 billion in capital investment and has created more than 355,000 new full-time jobs, at no expense to the taxpayers.

  • EB-5 is a win-win. Developers gain access to affordable capital, the community benefits from increased job creation, and investors can safely and legally immigrate to the United States.

  • A comprehensive peer-reviewed economic study found that during fiscal year 2012, investments made through the EB-5 program contributed $3.39 billion to U.S. GDP and supported over 42,000 U.S. jobs. This is more than a 100 percent increase from the average annual impact result reported in 2011. And, these jobs were created at no cost to taxpayers. The Congressional Budget Office has scored the program as revenue neutral, with administrative costs paid for by applicant fees.

    More than 25 countries, including Australia and the United Kingdom, use similar programs to attract foreign investments. The American program is more stringent than many others, requiring substantial risk for investors in terms of both their financial investment and immigration status.

  • We carefully select and manage investment projects that align with the requirements of the EB-5 program. We ensure that these projects are well-documented, financially viable, and have the potential to generate the necessary employment opportunities.
