The USA is perhaps most famous for its entrepreneurial spirit, coining the celebrated American Dream. It is also known for technological innovation, and the ability to shift global culture through exports such as Hollywood movies and music. It has a thriving economy that is the largest in the world by GDP, and it attracts millions of tourists each year who come to experience its iconic landmarks, like the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty, natural wonders like the Grand Canyon and Yosemite National Park, and attractions like Central Park and Disneyland.

United States Of America Residence By Investment Details

Introduced by the US Congress in 1990, the EB-5 Visa Programme grants permanent residency to immigrant investors and their families, via investments in Government-approved Regional Centers. An EB-5 applicant and his/her family can apply for a full, permanent green card after two years of obtaining an initial conditional green card.

After holding a green card for five years, an EB-5 applicant may apply for US citizenship. This popular programme offers an attractive opportunity for investors seeking to establish residency in the United States.

Programme Options

The EB-5 Visa Programme requires the applicant to invest a minimum of USD 800,000 in a US business, typically through a Regional Centre licensed by US Department of Homeland Security. Approximately 30 months after investing, the applicant will receive an initial conditional green card. After holding the conditional green card for two years, the EB-5 applicant can apply for a permanent green card.
