• Foreign born investors who invest $1 million into an active US business—which in turn employs at least 10 US workers—may be eligible to stay in the United States through the EB5 visa.
• In designated areas of high unemployment, investments of $500,000 may qualify for the EB5 visa.
• The EB5 investor is granted a conditional US residency of 2 years.
• After the conditional 2-year period, the investor must demonstrate that the required amount of money was invested, that the investment was maintained over the 2 years, and that at least 10 US residents were employed full-time as a result of the investment.
• When the conditions of the 2-year term are satisfied, the investor may file a new petition to be granted lawful permanent residence in the United States.
