The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program enables foreign investors to obtain U.S. residency by investing in a qualifying enterprise. Established in 1990, the program aims to stimulate economic growth and job creation. Investors may choose between Targeted Employment Area (TEA) investments of $800,000 or Non-TEA investments of $1,050,000. Regional Centers allow indirect job creation and simplified compliance, while direct investment involves active management of the business. Successful investors receive a conditional Green Card for two years, leading to permanent residency and eventual U.S. citizenship.
