AN EB-5 REGIONAL CENTER WITH 15+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
Your Path to U.S. Permanent Residency
The EB-5 visa provides a direct pathway for foreign investors and their immediate families to obtain U.S. permanent residency — without an employer sponsor, job offer, or language requirement.
By making a minimum investment of $800,000 in a USCIS-approved project located in a Targeted Employment Area, applicants can live, work, and study anywhere in the United States.
How the EB-5 Program Works
Program Overview
The Investment & Immigration Process
Investing $800,000 in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA) enables you to file an I-526E petition and receive your conditional Green Card in as little as 18–36 months. Your conditional residency evolves to permanent while you earn a return on your investment.
The EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act (RIA) of 2022 introduced concurrent filing — if you are already in the U.S. on a valid visa, you can receive a work permit (EAD) and travel document in as little as 90 days.

Are You Eligible for the EB-5 Visa?
No employer sponsor. No job offer. No language test. If you can demonstrate a lawful source of funds for the $800,000 minimum investment, you and your immediate family — spouse and unmarried children under 21 — may qualify.
Currently in the U.S. on an H-1B, F-1, E-2, or TN visa? You may be eligible for concurrent filing and can begin receiving immigration benefits in as little as 90 days.
