​ImmigraTrust Law can help with your investment immigration options.

EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, also known as the Employment-Based Fifth Preference Visa, is an opportunity not only to invest money in United States capital projects, but most importantly, to obtain a green card (permanent residency) for you and your family. Applying for permanent residency through the EB-5 Program provides great benefits because there are no country limits or sponsor requirements. Furthermore, for Chinese and Indian nationals, the processing time is significantly less than other immigration applications and categories.
 
Under the EB-5 Program, there are two ways of investing: (1) Direct Investment and (2) investment through Regional Centers. Under either methods, the investor has to provide an investment of $1 Million or $500,000 in a “New Commercial Enterprise” and create 10 jobs within two years of receiving his or her conditional permanent residency. The investment can be cash or other types of capital investment such as tangible property, secured indebtedness, etc. (based on American Fair Market Value). An investor is allowed to invest only $500,000 and benefit from EB-5 if he or she invests in an area deemed as a “Targeted Employment Area.” A “Targeted Employment Area” is typically an area that has unemployment of 150% of the national unemployment rate.
 
A Direct Investment is where the investor creates, invests, and manages an investment by himself or herself. USCIS requires that the investment be made directly in the New Commercial Enterprise and that the 10 jobs be created within the new enterprise. On the other hand, through the Regional Center program, investors are able to invest in Regional Center projects and show job creation directly or indirectly. One common example of indirect job creation is when a Regional Center lends money to another business, and then the other business hires full-time employees. The other business’s new employment counts as indirect job creation for the investor. Due to the more lenient requirements for Regional Center investments, over 90% of investors apply for EB-5 green cards via Regional Centers instead of through direct investment.
