EB-5 Investor Visa
The United States EB-5 Investor Visa program, created by the US Congress in 1990 and subsequently administered by USCIS, is a route to Permanent Residency (Green Card) and Citizenship of the United States for an applicant, their spouse and their unmarried children under the age of 21.
An applicant does not have to meet any age, education, business/management experience and English language proficiency requirements. You can settle anywhere in the US. You can apply for US Citizenship after 5 years from the date of acquiring your Green Card, provided residency requirements and other minor requirements for naturalization are met.
The uniqueness of the EB-5 program is that it ultimately costs nothing to the investor, since all of the investment is returned after 5 years and the investor also makes a nominal Return on Investment (ROI). In effect, it is a program that grants you a Green Card of the United States for FREE.
Our 100% success rate on I-829 (Permanent Green Card) approvals and our track record of 100% return of capital on multiple projects places our team in the highest category of EB-5 industry achievement.
