The EB-5 permanent visa was created by legislation enacted in 1990. This visa is set aside for investors who invest a specific minimum amount of capital in a commercial enterprise. This permanent visa category is allotted 10,000 annual visas.

The investment amount required is usually either $500,000 or $1 million U.S. Dollars.

In order to increase interest in the existing immigrant investor category, Congress created an EB-5 Regional Center Program. The most important feature of the law is that it permits one to invest in a pre-approved “Regional Center”.

Regional Centers are approved by the U.S. government. All Regional Centers were established for the promotion of economic growth, including increased export sales, improved regional productivity, job creation, or increased domestic capital investment.

If you are interested in gaining permanent residency via the EB-5 Regional Center Program, please contact us as we may be able to refer you to a suitable “Regional Center”.
