About EB 5 Investor Program - Invest In the USA

EB 5 visa program is funded by USCIS (United states citizenship and immigration services) and allow qualified investors to earn an investor visa for permanent residents to apply in the United States. Congress created this EB 5 immigrant investor in 1990 to attract qualified foreign investment to American economies by helping to stimulate the economic growth.

EB-5 offers foreign investors the opportunity to make a positive impact on the U.S economy by creating jobs and bringing capital investment in American businesses. The motto behind EB visa program is to create full-time jobs & reduce high unemployment in U.S.

At our firm, we specialize in helping foreign investors to attain U.S. permanent residency through new investment. We provide the services needed to comply with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services through their EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, so that new commercial enterprises can be established by real estate developers looking to invest in U.S. projects, and those investments can lead to green cards for foreign investors if they meet the program requirements.

In this way, we help real estate developers gain new capital even as foreign investors stand to benefit as well, getting an exciting new opportunity for life in America with a green card.

Investors outside USA need to fill DS 260 application (immigrant visa application) if they want to apply for green cards.

By Investing Money in Creating a New U.S. Business that Employs Ten Workers, You Might Qualify for a U.S. Green Card

Like many other nations, the United States has access to wealth and can pump funds through its economy. The fifth priority immigration visa for workers EB-5 allows people for permanent residency (green cards) immediately upon entry to the U.S. But applicants seeking green cards must not only invest significant investment funds in American firms but also be involved actively with the business even if the company cannot control it.

Get your U.S. Green Card With an EB-5 Visa Project

99% USCIS approval rating. Reputated by more than 2000 households. No charges. There is no action for damages. Nothing has changed. EB-5 Capital in good standing or paid back.

The EB5 investor program offers potential immigrants a viable pathway to US residency. Prospective investors can gain access to the American Dream by making an investment of $1 million in any eligible commercial enterprise that will create jobs for at least 10 people.

What's the Minimum Investment for an EB-5 Investor Visa?

The required investment for the immigrant investors ranged from 500 to $1 million with lower amounts only applicable to investments in targeted economic areas (TEAs), and typically low unemployment.

To become a United States citizen, green card holders must prove that they have been living in the country for five years or more before applying. This extended residency requirement is the gateway to gaining access to all of the rights and privileges afforded by American citizenship!

Investing in the US has never been easier! The minimum qualifying investment amount varies based on when you apply and where your business is located, with even lower amounts available if it’s situated within a high-unemployment or rural area. With Targeted Employment Areas (TEA), start up entrepreneurs can take advantage of this opportunity to launch their venture into success!

Eb-5 Green Card Process

The eb-5 immigrant investor program is managed by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services and provides a means for foreign investors to become permanent residents with the purchase of a green card. The eb-5 investment process offers many advantages, such as not requiring a lengthy wait time or a family connection to get approved.

However, the process is far from easy – requiring an extensive background check and paperwork that must be submitted accurately and on time in order for applicants to meet the standard requirements. You need to visit EB 5 regional center for the consular processing.

Despite this, it remains one of the most sought-after forms of immigration due to its usually straightforward nature and eventual reward of gaining permanent residency status in America.

EB-5 Investor Resources to Help You Get Started

EB-5 Visas are a very difficult process for a person to get one. To help you learn more about the EB5 Visa Program and to understand its investment timelines we have shared EB-5 visa resources and free online training courses.

Is There an Annual Limit on EB-5 Visas?

The Green card is restricted in number to 10,000 yearly and investment from a particular nation is restricted too. Depending upon how many applications you receive and the number of applications you receive each year – if you have over 10000 – you may be put on a waiting list based on your priority date (date of filing). Until recent times the maximum of 10,000 applications had not been reached. But in recent years demand for Chinese visas is often high, sometimes creating a waiting list.

what our clients have to say

There are depressingly few attorneys or regional centers practicing in the EB-5 arena who I consider to be honest, intelligent, and trustworthy...in fact, I'm only aware of one - Jose Latour. He understands the absolute importance of compliance and fair dealing with investors, and I've seen him put his client's interests ahead of his own on numerous occasions. I am 100% comfortable entrusting him with my business and financial interests.

I trust Jose Latour completely. I know him well and can honestly say all our EB-5 dealings have been 100% satisfactory and successful. If there was ever any hesitation or equivocation, at any point down the EB-5 road, Jose put that on the table first to be vetted and then avoided or worked out, until there was no room for doubt.
I have been practicing Immigration Law in Miami, Florida for over 30 years. I have worked with Jose in the past and will continue to do so, secure in the knowledge that his ability and expertise are matched only by his trustworthiness. He has my highest personal recommendation to anyone in the EB-5 marketplace

Jose is one of the finest experts on EB-5 regulations out there. I received great insight on market situation, and legislation interpretation from him on numerous occasions.

After many years of unreliable immigration services, we found the knowledgeable legal counsel and extensive advice Jose consistently provides to our clients the much needed complement to our estate and pre-immigration tax planning services.

I took my high net worth client to Jose for an EB-5 investment. Jose spent over 4 hours with my client explaining Eb-5 visa process. The depth of his knowledge was astounding. He did not rush my client to try to close the deal, ultimately counseling him to consider his options carefully before proceeding

Jose’s commitment to protecting the interests of his Regional Center’s EB-5 investors is something he takes very seriously. As the CPAs for AVS EB-5 and its EB-5 Limited Partnerships, I can personally attest to Jose’s sense of fiduciary responsibility toward those he is guiding down the path of EB-5
