InvestorsGreen Cards for Investors (EB-5)

Permanent resident status based on EB-5 eligibility is available to investors, either alone or coming with their spouse and unmarried children.  Eligible foreign nationals are those who have invested — or are actively in the process of investing — the required amount of capital into a commercial enterprise.  There are two ways to invest which you may use within the EB-5 category: (1) creating a new commercial enterprise or (2) investing in a troubled business.  The investor must further demonstrate that this investment will benefit the United States economy and create ten full-time jobs for qualified persons within the United States.  The investor must be involved in the day-to-day management of the new or troubled business or directly manage it through formulating business policy – for example as a corporate officer or board member.  For more information regarding Green Cards for Investors (EB-5) click here.
