EB5 INVESTOR VISA AND US CITIZENSHIP

Obtain a U.S Green Card in 12 – 18 months through secured capital investments. This hassle-free program minimizes formalities, and requires no minimum language, education, or business experience criteria to participate.

For these reasons, The EB-5 visa is an investor visa which has been operating since 1990, has been an extremely popular choice for Non-US citizens. It is a simplified way for investors and their families to obtain a U.S Green card and US permanent residency. It is also a pathway that can lead to American Citizenship.

The purpose of the EB-5 program is to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors. The Government allocates a significant amount of investor visas each year for this purpose and they do it by way of allowing foreigners to invest into Regional Centre Programs.

These Regional Centre Programs are defined by the US Government and through the investment into these programs, the applicant becomes a Limited Partner. The Management of the project is facilitated by the Regional Centres, meaning day to day involvement is limited. Investment will need to be held in this program until permanent green cards are issued, and for potentially longer. Through this program the main applicant can also secure residency for their spouse and children under 21.

There are no language or career specifics required in order to apply for this programme. It is worth keeping in mind that if there is a desire to seek US citizenship in the future EB 5 green card and visa holders will need to reside in the US for a minimum of 180 days per year in order to qualify. American Citizenship can be applied for after 5 years of receipt of the Conditional American green card and this will also entitle users to an American passport.
