EB-5 visa – Immigrant Investment Program of USA

Investing $800,000 would qualify you for the program if the investment is made in a targeted employment area (TEA), which is an area with high unemployment or in a rural area. Otherwise, the required investment is $1.8 million.

Once you’ve made the investment, you can apply for a conditional green card, which is valid for two years. After two years, assuming the investment has created the required number of jobs, you can apply to have the conditions removed and obtain a permanent green card.

During the processing timeline, you would indeed have the opportunity to travel, access social security benefits, and plan for your future career and family. However, it’s essential to thoroughly research and understand the requirements and implications of the EB-5 program before making such a significant investment decision.
