EB-5 Visa benefits
The EB-5 Visa Program was introduced by the US Congress in 1990. This route enables Immigrant Investors to secure US permanent residency (Green Card) via a $900,000 investment. Such funds must be invested in government-approved projects, with the right to release the investment in the future. Whole family eligibility includes the applicant’s spouse and unmarried children under 21 years. All family members qualify for a Green Card, and the right to live, work and study in the USA. After holding a Green Card for five years, EB-5 applicants may apply for citizenship.
