EB-5 Investor Visa Lawyers

EB-5 INVESTOR VISA LAWYERS IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services offer a special program for entrepreneurs, their spouses, and their unmarried children to apply for a green card on the basis of making a substantial investment in the U.S. The program is known as the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. In order to qualify, in general, the investor must place money in a project that will create at least 10 full-time positions within 2 years. The company must create jobs for qualified employees—that is, U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or others authorized to work in the U.S. The capital investment requirement is $1 million, but if you plan to invest in a targeted employment area, you may be able to qualify for an investor visa, as many do, with an investment of $500,000.

After the approval of the I-526, complete one of two additional forms when a visa is available: Form I-485 or DS-260. Form I-485 allows adjustment of status in the U.S. to become a conditional permanent resident. Approval of the Form DS-260 provides a visa while living abroad through consular processing to obtain conditional permanent residence on arrival in the U.S.
Complete Form I-829. If all the conditions for the EB-5 program have been met, generally after two years, approval of the Form I-829 allows the conditions to be lifted and the permanent residence to be granted.

There are several requirements for the EB-5 program. The major requirements for the program are:

a capital investment that is “at risk” into new commercial enterprise (NCE);
in the minimum amount of $500,000 or $1M;
with the creation of at least ten full-time permanent U.S. jobs;
from lawfully obtained funds; and
the investor maintaining a management role.
