Inviting Potential EB-5 Investors

A variety of financial services are provided by EB5Visa, LLC to help
foreign investors immigrating to the U.S.

Why Choose an EB-5 Visa Program?

  • Being a successful investor requires outstanding opportunities that offer maximum benefits. This is why the EB-5 Visa program is so popular with foreign investors.
  • After the enactment of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 1990, this program was created by the U.S. Congress to allow foreign investors a chance to invest in the United States.
  • Besides being a good vehicle for real investment projects, the EB-5 Visa program also accelerates the process of obtaining a U.S. Green Card and ultimately citizenship, if the investor desires.
  • The program entails investments of different amounts, which are mandated by law, and they should create job opportunities for the local community.
  • The EB-5 Visa program is a win-win situation for the foreign investor and the community where the capital is invested.

EB-5 Investment Options

All immigrant investors are required to invest minimum capital of $1.8 million plus the processing overhead cost, legal and filing fees resulting in 10 direct full-time jobs for Americans. Or, they can invest $900,000 plus the processing overhead cost, legal and filing fees in areas where unemployment is high. These areas are referred to as Targeted Employment Areas (TEA). Here too, the investment should create either 10 direct or indirect full-time jobs for Americans.

Two options for investing in the EB-5 Program

How to Choose Between These Options?

If the investor understands the benefit of each type of investment, he will be better placed to choose the correct option.

Direct Investments

If an investor opts for direct investment, there are certain inconveniences with regards to provision of certain evidence and proof. The foreign investor must ensure the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that the investment will generate direct (full-time) employment for 10 qualified American employees. Any indirect employment created by the investment is not taken into account.

In addition, a minimum of $1.8 million plus the processing overhead cost, legal and filing fees is the capital required for investing in a project.

Benefits

  • Equity based investment
  • Option to invest in a business franchise
  • More control over business & funds
  • Protected by an easy exist strategy
  • Shorter I-526 processing time

Investments through a Regional Center

About 90-95% of immigrant investors opt for this method of investment. The primary requirements are the same for investment, the only main distinction between the Regional Center option and direct investment is the limited hassle in seeing it through.

Regional Centers are situated in TEAs. So, the minimum investment capital is less - $900,000 plus the processing overhead cost, legal and filing fees. In addition to this, since the government is trying to promote employment in these regions, there aren’t any investigations and analyses conducted to verify whether certain priorities are met for setting up the business.

Benefits

  • No need to know or start the business
  • No geographical limitation to live and work
  • Direct or Indirect employment creation
  • No day-to-day management
  • Less restrictive visa qualification requirements
