EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa
Investors of any nationality may obtain permanent residency for themselves, their spouse, and unmarried children under 21 through a substantial investment in a business that creates or preserves jobs for U.S. workers.
WHAT IS THE EB-5 IMMIGRANT INVESTOR VISA?
It is an immigrant category —not a temporary visa— created by Congress under INA 203(b)(5) and modernized by the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (RIA), which allows foreign investors to obtain conditional permanent residency in exchange for an investment that creates at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers.
The most important point: it is open to investors of any nationality.
🔹 It applies to:
Investors who invest directly in their own operating business in the U.S. (stand-alone petition, Form I-526)
Investors who participate in USCIS-designated Regional Center projects (Form I-526E)
Entire families seeking permanent residency through a single investment
Investors from countries without E-2 treaty eligibility, or whose Green Card process through employment or family would take decades
BENEFITS
✅ Green Card for the investor, their spouse, and unmarried children under 21
✅ No job offer, no sponsor, and no labor certification (PERM) required
✅ Possibility of concurrent filing with adjustment of status (I-485) if the priority date is current
✅ Set-aside categories (20% rural, 10% high unemployment, 2% infrastructure) that may speed up processing
✅ Freedom to live, work, and study in any U.S. state
✅ Direct path to U.S. citizenship after five years of residency
✅ Unlike the E-2 visa, it does not require nationality from a treaty country
REQUIREMENTS
✔ Investors with lawfully obtained capital available for a substantial investment
✔ Individuals who can document the lawful source and complete path of funds without gaps
✔ Those who will invest in a New Commercial Enterprise (NCE) that is lawfully formed and actively operating
✔ Those who will keep the capital at risk throughout the conditional residency period
✔ Those who will participate in the managerial role or in policy-making activities of the business
✔ Those who can document the creation or preservation of at least 10 full-time jobs
OUR METHODOLOGY
At US Visa LATAM, we begin with a strategic evaluation of the investor’s profile, available capital, jurisdiction of funds, and long-term family objectives. From there:
We audit the source and path of funds
We evaluate the appropriate investment route
We verify TEA eligibility and set-aside opportunities
For stand-alone cases: we develop the business plan
For Regional Center cases: we review the project’s I-956F and fund documentation
We prepare the I-526 / I-526E petition
We support the process through to the I-829 stage
We do not take cases we do not believe in. In EB-5, this is especially critical: weak documentation of the source or path of funds can result not only in denial, but also in future inadmissibility risks.
