Under EB-5 immigrant visa, one not just obtains green card for themselves, but for their spouse and children, as well. This visa was created by Congress in 1990 in an effort to increase the U.S. economy via creating jobs and capital investment that would be invested by the alien investors.

If you think of investing in U.S. then have a look at the following information regarding EB-5 immigration investor program that would be very well explained to you by your immigration lawyer in Miami:

Basic information regarding capital investment:

Under this program, foreign investor would be able to obtain lawful permanent residency in the United States by investing capital amount of $500,000 or $1 million. However, at least $500,000 amount is needed to be invested for a project. And the project should be started in a rural area which has high unemployment rate.

The capital investment would include the cash, inventory, equipment, tangible property, assets, cash equivalents etc. Beside this mode by which money is invested by the investor is also a crucial factor to be looked in. For example, if invested money is given by the form of loan which is made by the personal residence of alien, then it would be considered as capital investment; and vice-versa, if in case, it’s not made this way, it won’t be considered as capital investment for EB-5 purpose.

Job creation:

Politically, creation of jobs via EB-5 visa is the best option. This is because it’s the requirement of this visa to provide jobs for at least 10 U.S. workers. If not done so then one might put their visa approval on risk. However, it’s not necessary to right away give jobs, as investor would be submitting their business documents but it’s important to do so within two years.
