EB-5 Investor Visa

The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program provides a direct pathway to U.S. permanent residency for qualified foreign investors and their immediate family members. Through a qualifying investment in a U.S. business or development project, investors may obtain a Green Card without employer sponsorship, special educational requirements, or English language testing.

At Ventry Global, we help investors navigate this process by connecting them with highly successful immigration attorneys, vetted investment opportunities, and trusted professional partners.

EB-5 Requirements & Investment Overview

To qualify for the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, investors must meet certain investment, financial, regulatory, and documentation requirements established by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The program requires a qualifying investment in a U.S. project that creates or preserves at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers. Investors must also demonstrate a lawful source of funds and satisfy all applicable program requirements throughout the immigration process.

Minimum Investment Amount

$800,000 for qualifying Targeted Employment Area (TEA) projects.
$1,050,000 for projects outside of a TEA.
Additional Costs to Consider:
- Regional Center administrative fees.
- USCIS filing fees.
- Immigration attorney fees.
- Translation and document preparation fees.
- Other professional service fees, where applicable.

Disclaimer: Investment thresholds are expected to increase in early 2027 due to inflation-based adjustments. Updated amounts have not yet been announced.

Additional Program Requirements

Beyond the qualifying investment amount, applicants must demonstrate:

A lawful source of investment funds (including qualifying gifts).
Proper documentation of the source and movement of funds.
Investment in a project designed to meet EB-5 job creation requirements.
Compliance with the program's "at-risk" investment requirement

Processing Timeline

Most EB-5 cases are completed within 12–36 months, depending on the project, applicant circumstances, and USCIS processing times.

Certain projects may qualify for expedited processing.
Concurrent filing may provide interim work and travel authorization for eligible applicants already in the U.S.
Timelines vary based on visa availability, case complexity, and documentation readiness.
