EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program

The EB-5 visa program was created in 1990 by the Immigration Act and provides a method for eligible immigrant investors to become lawful permanent residents by investing substantial capital in a U.S. business that creates at least 10 new jobs for Americans and work-authorized immigrants. The minimum investment requirement is $1,050,000, but it is reduced to $800,000 if the investment is made in a qualifying infrastructure project or Targeted Employment Area (TEA). Applicants can choose to invest directly or through a regional center, which connects foreign investors with developers in need of funding. As of April 2023, there are 640 USCIS-approved regional centers, and the EB-5 program has become an important source of capital for developers.learn more on wikipedia
