EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa

Counsel From A Proven Lake Charles Immigration Lawyer: (337) 214-0670

In the early 1990s, lawmakers recognized an opportunity to grow domestic businesses and create jobs by allowing foreign-born investors to enter the country to invest and engage in American enterprises. The result is the EB-5 visa, which is still available to foreign nationals looking to come our country to invest in commercial entities here in the U.S.

EB-5 Visa Eligibility

There are two circumstances that can qualify for an investor for an EB-5 visa from the USCIS. One is if they intend to create at least 10 full-time jobs within two years of receiving the visa (or indirectly create or preserve jobs). The second possible qualification is if the applicant is looking to invest in a new commercial enterprise.

A “new commercial enterprise” must:

  • Be founded after November 29, 1990, or
  • Be founded before November 29, 1990 but has been purchased and reorganized
  • Be founded before November 29, 1990 but will expand 40% or more via the investment

Nearly any kind of commercial entity can be the subject of an EB-5 petition, from large corporations to sole proprietorships. What's critical is that you have a specific financial plan, the cooperation of domestic collaborators, and thorough petition information. Our firm can help you ensure that your EB-5 petition is as compelling as possible so that you and your investment plans stand the best chance at avoiding any USCIS red tape.
