For investors seeking relocation to the United States, the EB-5 Visa is an excellent option. With the Immigration Act of 1990 came the creation of employment-based immigration, or EB5.
This program is an option for individuals who have invested, or are in the process of investing; at least $1 million in a new business endeavor employing at least ten full-time employees within a two-year period. It also applies to those who invest in what is known as a “TEA”, or “targeted employment area,” and are obliged to invest a minimum of $500,000 in U.S.-based geographic locations that are outside major metropolitan areas—an unquestionably more common option for EB5 investors.
