EB-5 visa is kind of US immigrant investor visa that provides a method of obtaining a green card for foreign nationals who invest money in the United States. An immigrant investor program known as EB-5 program was started in 1990 by US congress for issuing visas to these foreign investors. Created by The Immigration Act of 1990, this EB-5 visa program was put forward to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by immigrant investors by creating a new commercial enterprise or investment in a troubled business. Actually there are two kinds of EB-5 programs through which US immigrant investors gain lawful permanent residence for themselves and their families. They are the EB-5 standard program and EB-5 regional center program or pilot program. In both of these programs the investor is required to make minimum capital investment of $500,000 or $1,000,000 in exchange of permanent resident status depending on the area of investment. If the investment is in highly unemployed areas or targeted employment areas then 500,000 dollar investment is sufficient. The investment should be able to generate atleast 10 full time jobs, direct or indirect jobs within two years of establishment. In EB-5 regional center program, investment can be made through economic unit defined as a regional center. A regional center is any economic unit, either public or private that is involved with the promotion of economic growth, improved regional productivity, job creation, and increased domestic capital investment in US. This EB-5 regional center pilot program defines some USCIS-designated regional centers. By making investment in a new commercial enterprise affiliated by these EB-5 regional centers, the investors can satisfy job creation requirements necessary for obtaining the US green card through program. The individuals receiving EB-5 immigrant visa are required to participate in business actively. Therefore the individuals who have enough amount for the investment and wish to make investment in a new or existing business in US with an active role in its operations should opt for EB-5 visas for faster, legal and reliable way of getting permit for permanent residing and earning in US.
