The EB-5 Federal Visa Program was created by the U.S. Congress in 1990 with the objective of boosting the U.S. economy by creating jobs through capital investments made by foreign nationals.
Regulated by the U.S. Department of Immigration (USCIS), this program allows the investor, his or her spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21 to obtain Permanent Residence (Green Card) by investing in a project previously approved by the U.S. government for this purpose.
The investment under the EB5 Federal Visa Program must be made under the supervision and control of a Regional Center, which is a USCIS certified entity.
