What is the EB-5 Visa Classification?
USCIS oversees the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, which was created by Congress in 1990 to help stimulate the United States economy by granting immigrant visas to foreign nationals who either start new commercial enterprises, or invest in existing businesses in the U.S. In order to qualify, investments must be made in any for-profit activities formed for the ongoing conduct of a lawful business. The new commercial enterprise must directly create full-time positions for at least ten (10) qualifying employees. Qualifying employees can be U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, or other immigrants authorized to work in the United States. Full-time employees must work a minimum of 35 hours per week. These jobs must be considered permanent full-time jobs. This can include jobs that are expected to last at least two (2) years.
