EB-5 visa program is a permanent residency program targeted at high-net-worth immigrant investors with access to qualifying investable funds of at least $800,000 (and in some cases, $1,050,000). The funds must be invested in a commercial enterprise managed directly by the investor or a USCIS-designated regional center organization.
There are many business types. An EB-5 immigrant investor can decide on depending on their professional profile, entrepreneurial ambitions, and investment goals, coupled with the necessities of the EB-5 program that must be met to become a lawful permanent resident. A well-planned real estate development, manufacturing, infrastructure, renewable energy, healthcare, or franchise business, among others, can provide a solid basis for a substantial capital outlay, significant job creation, and lucrative returns over time.
Useful: USCIS maintains a US-wide list of approved regional centers by state, which is updated periodically. The list will help you verify if you are investing in an approved project.

EB-5 Visa Requirements And Eligibility
Under the EB-5 program, a foreign investor first gets a two-year conditional green card for entry into the United States. To become a lawful permanent resident, they must submit a petition before this period ends to remove the conditions on their PR status. If approved, they gain permanent residency in the US.
- The investor must make a minimum capital investment of $800,000 in a business domiciled in a rural area or non-rural area with high unemployment (collectively termed as targeted employment areas) or $1,050,000 if it is not in a targeted employment area.
- The investment can be made directly in a business, or it can be provided to a designated regional center organization which, in turn, invests the capital (usually pooled with other investors’ contributions) in USCIS-approved commercial enterprises or infrastructure projects.
- The invested funds or assets must be put at risk in acquiring/establishing and running a business directly (i.e., the funds must be irrevocably committed and be subject to the risk of financial loss) or in support of the business plan of a regional center organization.
- Ten full-time and permanent jobs must be created before applying for the removal of conditions on the investor’s PR status. In its absence, a credible business plan proving the need for at least ten full-time and permanent in the future may be acceptable.
- Evidence that the invested funds are obtained through lawful means must be provided.
- Confidence must be established that the investor can support themselves and their dependent family after coming to the US.
- Evidence of the investor’s qualifications to run the business must be provided.
- For detailed information, please refer to the USCIS guidelines for the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program.
The EB-5 Visa Business Plan helps comprehensively narrate how your investment of unencumbered risk capital is committed to specific uses by the selected business within the visa’s 2-year “conditional period” and beyond. It must demonstrate how the investment will create at least 10 permanent full-time jobs. A solid business plan is crucial for USCIS to remove the conditions on your permanent residency status.
