U.S. Investment Visa Program - EB5

A quick, straightforward way to living and working in the USA       

“Traditional” routes to US permanent residency can mean long processing delays, or require close family connections or very specific employment criteria.

The EB5 Investment Visa Program offers a much simpler route – including significantly shorter processing times.

The most important thing is to ensure that you apply correctly for your EB5 Green Card, and that you are aware of your options.

Advantages of the EB5 Visa Category

Quick – Other visa categories have a waiting list, but EB5 visas are available now. Once the petition qualifying you as an EB5 investor is approved, you can apply for your visa right away.
Straightforward - If you have US$500,000, you can invest through government-designated “regional centers” – which are investment houses designed to channel your US$500,000 towards US job-creating businesses, as well as providing you with a return on the investment.
  Flexible – Once your investment has been arranged, you are granted an EB5 Investment Visa that allows you to live (and work) anywhere in the USA.
 No need for a sponsoring employer or relative - The EB5 is a great option for retirees, entrepreneurs, parents who want their children to attend US schools, or anyone who is in the USA on a visa that will expire.

Things to be aware of

Which EB5 “Regional Center” is right for you? 
There are over 120 different Regional Centers in the US to choose from, offering investments in many different types of businesses. We speak with the Regional Centers directly to determine their compliance with EB5 guidelines. We can tell you which ones have a track record of success for their EB5 investors.

When should you apply?
Apply now! The EB5 Regional Center programme must be reauthorised by the US government every few years. Although we expect that it will be reauthorised in 2012, there is a small chance the programme will end or the minimum investment amount will be raised. Currency exchange rates favour most foreign investors in the US right now.

Immigration Procedures under the EB-5 investment visa green card program
We are experts in the immigration aspects of your investment, including qualifying you for EB5 status and obtaining your visa. We do not provide investment, accounting, tax, or securities advice, and we urge you to work with qualified and trusted professionals in those areas when considering which EB5 Regional Center to invest with.

Complete a “Full Check” immigration assessment – to provide you with an accurate, personalised evaluation of your pathway to US permanent residency.
