Advantages of the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program


The U.S. immigrant investor program is the most flexible in the world. It sets no requirements based on age, business training and experience, or language skills. Additionally, Permanent Residents need not be continuously and physically present in the United States during the program and can even maintain business and professional relations in their country of origin.

The U.S. immigrant investor program also allows investors a great deal of freedom because it does not require immigrant investors to manage their investment on a daily basis, but rather, to ‘actively engage’ in a business enterprise, meaning they can be limited partners and pursue other professional or personal ventures.

Moreover, should the investor and his or her family elect to become U.S. citizens, the time spent as conditional permanent residents is credited towards the five year lawful permanent residency requirement for U.S. citizenship. As a permanent resident, the investor and his or her family are free to return to their homeland for visits or business purposes, as long as a residence is maintained in the United States.

The EB-5 Visa program also offers the following benefits:

• Direct route to permanent residency in the United States for Investor, his/her spouse, and any children under the age of 21

• Freedom for Investor and family to live, work, and retire anywhere in the United States

• Investor and his/her spouse and children may attend college or university at U.S. resident costs

• Investor and immediate family may travel to and from the United States without a visa

• Route to U.S. citizenship for Investor and immediate family after five years of permanent residency

• Ability for Investor to sponsor green cards for family members

• Investor receives all benefits of U.S. permanent residency status, including ability to develop and run his/her own business
