The United States Employment Based (Category) 5 Program provides a special category of immigration Visa for High Net worth international investors. This Program was started with a vision of stimulating the US Economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors.

EB5 Green Card Requirements

To qualify for an EB5 Green Card, the candidate must have made a substantial investment in a new commercial venture in the US. This venture should be able to create on a minimum of 10 full time employment opportunities in the US within 2 years.

1. A minimum investment of US$500,000 in a “Targeted Employment Area”- high unemployment or rural area, creating or preserving at least 10 jobs is the requisite for getting the US Green Card.

2. A commercial enterprise is considered to be a ‘For-Profit’ activity formed for running a lawful business, including a sole proprietorship, partnership, holding company, joint venture, corporation, business trust or other entity which may be publicly or privately owned.

US Green Card applicants will also be obliged to match up to certain health and character requirements.
