What is the
EB-5 Program?
The EB-5 visa allows foreign nationals to obtain a green card by investing in a project located in the United States that will create or preserve at least 10 jobs for U.S. workers.
More than 25 countries, including Australia, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom have similar programs.
However, the American program, even though it is the cheapest, also requires substantial risk and is thus more stringent than others.
Why Invest in the United States?
World’s largest market with the world’s highest household spending
Consistently ranked among the best for Ease of Doing Business
Access to capital: one of the most developed, liquid, flexible and efficient financial markets
Third largest nation by geography with abundant natural resources
The US is the world’s largest recipient of inward FDI and EB-5 is a significant contributor

Different EB-5 Investment Routes
1
Direct Investment
More flexibility and responsibility
Only direct jobs – jobs directly employed by the project are counted
2
Regional Center
Passive investment – minimal management requirement
Direct, indirect and induced jobs are counted (basically more jobs can be created)
3
Pooled Investment
Investors pool funds together and invest directly in business
Only direct jobs – jobs directly employed by the project are counted
More about
THE DIRECT EB-5 VISA PROGRAM
Direct or stand-alone projects have become very popular recently, mostly due to the advantages listed below. Prior to the emergence of the Regional Center Pilot Program, the traditional method for EB-5 investors was through the stand alone (direct) investment.
Job Creation for Stand-Alone or Direct EB-5Projects & Regional Center Projects:
DETAILS
Stand-alone investors make an investment into a new or existing business venture in the U.S. and can do so individually or with other investors. In stand-alone petitions, only direct jobs are counted. The most important advantage of investing through a regional center is that indirect and induced jobs are counted towards the job creation requirement. In regional center-based investments, depending on which econometric model is used to calculate the jobs, the number of jobs created is usually almost three times greater than those created by stand-alone investments.
The difference between a directly created job and an indirectly created job is easy, but important, to understand. Direct jobs are those that establish an employ-employee relationship between the commercial enterprise and the persons that they employ. For example, if an EB-5 project builds a hotel that is open after a year, the receptionist position would be considered a directly created one.
CRITERIA
In order for an applicant to qualify under the Basic EB-5 Visa program, they must meet the following three requirements:
Make an investment in a new commercial enterprise; this can be a pooled investment.
Make the required minimum investment determined by project location, if in a rural or Targeted Employment Area (TEA)then the required investment is $500,000.
Lead to the creation of employment for at least 10 full-time U.S. workers (direct jobs).
More about
THE EB-5 VISA REGIONAL CENTER PROGRAM
This involves a passive investment of $900,000 if made in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA) within a Designated Regional Center and $1.8 million for non-TEA
The EB-5 policy management requirement is minimal in that the investor can be a limited partner and still qualify as long as the limited partners have a policy-making role. Thus, for those who are not interested in day-to-day management or running an active business, Regional Center programs offer an acceptable inactive form of investment.
The investor is not required to live in the place of investment; rather, he or she can live wherever he/she wishes in the United States.
