Investor Eligibility

There are three main criteria for applicants of the EB-5 Program, as outlined below:

Qualification: To invest, applicants must be approved as qualified EB-5 investors based on their net worth, income, and/or other criteria. In addition, the investor must be a Non-US person. Please see fill out questionnaire to the left.
Source of Funds: Investors must be able to show that the funds being invested were legally obtained. A qualified immigration attorney can assist investors with this.
Background Check: Investors must pass a background check performed by the US government

Process

To participate in the EB-5 Program, investors must file the I-526 petition with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). After I-526 approval, investors will file a separate petition – the I-829 – to receive permanent residency.

Step 1

I-526

Filing the I-526 petition is the first step in the EB-5 Program application process. USCIS requires all investors to produce the following:

Evidence that the invested capital comes from a “lawful source”
Evidence that an investor’s accumulated wealth is sufficient for an EB-5 investment
Evidence that the investor has transferred funds to the Regional Center’s escrow account or project account
Copies of passports for each family member on the petition
Documents related to the petitioner’s education and employment history, such as résumés, diplomas, and other relevant documents
Birth and marriage certificates for all family members on the investor’s application
Additional information may be required on a case-by-case basis

To fulfill the above requirements, investors must coordinate with an immigration attorney. When you’re ready to subscribe to one of our projects, we can provide a list of experienced, non-affiliated immigration attorneys for you to contact.

Step 2

I-829

Upon approval of the I-526 petition, the investor and all family members listed on the petition will receive a conditional green card that lasts for two years. Within 90 days of the conditional green card’s expiration, investors and their attorneys must file the I-829 petition to demonstrate the following:

Evidence that the investor invested the required amount of capital
Funds were invested in the project and “at risk” at the time of the I-829 petition filing
The commercial enterprise created, or can be expected to create, at least 10 full-time jobs as a result of the investor’s funds.
Upon USCIS approval of the I-829 petition, investors and their family members will receive permanent U.S. green cards.
