Introduced in 1990 by the U.S. Congress, the EB-5 Visa Program allows immigrant investors to secure residency rights in the U.S., also known as a Green Card, by investing $800,000 in real estate. The investment must be made in a government-approved project; however, the investor is allowed to withdraw this investment in the future. The entire family is eligible to apply for a Green Card, including the applicant’s spouse and unmarried children under 21 years old. After holding the Green Card for five years, EB-5 applicants can apply for citizenship.

BUDGET

The investment for the E2 visa must come from an active business that has employees working within it.
  • Real Estate Investment - $900,000 USD.

    To qualify for the EB-5 visa, applicants must invest a minimum of $900,000 in a U.S. business. The investment must directly create at least ten full-time jobs for U.S. workers, and throughout the process, the source of funds must be at “risk” level.

    Most successful EB-5 investments are made through Regional Centers; an economic organization approved by USCIS with specific authority. Most Regional Centers are real estate development companies that can create additional jobs for the EB-5 program. Investing through such a center allows EB-5 investors not to manage the business directly while still meeting job creation requirements, as the center handles these requirements along with daily business operations.

    Real Estate Investment involves acquiring property with proof of ownership or land. The investment must be completed before applying for citizenship.

    General requirements for investors:

    • Must be 18 years or older.
    • No criminal record.
    • The sources of investment must be verified.

    Minimum investment level: $900,000

    • The investment must directly create ten full-time jobs for U.S. workers.
    • The EB-5 Center must comply with USCIS requirements.
    • There should be a possibility of investment return; however, investment funds must be considered “at risk” to meet EB-5 visa requirements.

    E2 Visa investment amount approximately: $150,000

TIMELINE

2 months

PREPARATION TIME

  • 1
    Consult with a Global Citizens Asia Immigration Advisor.

    Global Citizens Asia’s immigration advisors will assess each investor’s personal circumstances and guide them through every stage of the EB-5 program, helping select the appropriate Regional Center and business for investment.

  • 2
    Invest $800,000 in an approved EB-5 Project.

    Once the EB-5 investor has selected the right project, the investment funds must be transferred to a third-party escrow account.

  • 3
    File the I-526 petition

    To be classified as an EB-5 Immigrant Investor, our professional immigration attorneys will submit the initial application, known as the I-526 petition, to USCIS. The I-526 petition must provide evidence of the investment and verify that the business will create the required number of jobs.

  • 4
    File the application for conditional permanent residency.

    If the I-526 petition is approved, we will prepare the documentation to apply for a two-year conditional Green Card. If the I-526 petition is denied, the investment funds will be returned according to the terms of the agreement with the Regional Center partner.

  • 5
    Approval of the conditional permanent residency application.

    Once the applicant is approved as an EB-5 investor, they and eligible family members will receive a Green Card valid for two years and must enter the United States within 180 days.

  • 6
    File the I-829 petition

    The final step in the EB-5 visa process is to become an unconditional permanent resident by removing the two-year conditional status. During the 22-24 month period of conditional residency, Astons’ immigration attorney files the I-829 petition. This requires documentation proving that the EB-5 visa requirements have been met and that at least 10 jobs have been created.

36 months

Processing Time

  • 7
    Approval of unconditional permanent residency

    The investor and eligible family members receive a permanent Green Card if the I-829 petition is approved. All applicants, including the investor, spouse, and unmarried children under 21, can live and work permanently in the United States and may apply for U.S. citizenship after approximately 5 years from the start of their initial conditional residency.

  • 8
    Obtain a U.S. passport

    After completing the investment, you will be issued a certificate of citizenship, and we will submit the passport application on your behalf. There is no need to travel to the United States; your passport will be delivered to your desired address.
