Who should invest in an EB-5 Visa?

The EB-5 Investor Visa is not appropriate for everyone.  There are several eligibility requirements that must be met such as a minimum liquid net worth, the investor must submit financial records, medical records and prove that they have no criminal history.  Additionally the investor must understand that as with any investment there is a certain element of risk associated with an EB-5 Investor Visa and that these investments are fully at risk with no guaranteed rate of return or preservation of capital.

The approval of an EB-5 Visa permits the investor, their Spouse and any children under that age of 21 the right to live and work in the United States, they can also seek employment in the U.S.  We find that many investors come from various backgrounds with various goals in mind when applying for an EB-5 Visa.  Whether they are business professionals, retirees or people looking to give their children better educational opportunities, the EB-5 Visa provides the flexibility to do what you want, where you want while in the United States.

As an investor, if you are looking to obtain Lawful Permanent Residence and want a more passive investment where it is not required to actively manage a business, the logical and more convenient investment option is to take advantage of the Regional Center (Pilot) Program, rather than to start your own business here in the United States.
