The EB-5 Investor Visa Program
Unlock the American Dream for You and Your Family
The EB-5 Investor Visa program (also known as the US green card by investment) offers a unique and powerful path for families to obtain US green cards.
By making a one-time, 3-5-year returnable investment of US$800,000 into a US business that creates 10 or more jobs, you, along with your immediate family (including spouse and children under age 21), can secure a US green card and live, work, and study in the United States permanently.
Immigrating to the United States of America
The United States continues to be the preferred choice for families seeking global opportunities and a dynamic lifestyle.
As US immigration becomes more complex, opportunities for non-US families to establish a foothold in the US are becoming increasingly limited. The EB-5 program offers a proven solution.
