📝 EB-5 Investor Visa for Permanent Residency in the USA
The EB-5 Investor Visa is a direct immigration path for investors who wish to obtain permanent residency (Green Card) in the United States. This visa type is designed for individuals who wish to obtain permanent residency in the USA by making a specific investment.
📄 What is the EB-5 Investor Visa?
The EB-5 Investor Visa allows foreign investors to obtain permanent residency (Green Card) by investing in a new commercial enterprise in the USA and creating at least 10 full-time American jobs. This visa grants permanent residency rights to the investor, their spouse, and their unmarried children under 21.
📄 Application Process
The EB-5 Investor Visa application process consists of several steps. The first step involves the investor submitting Form I-526 to USCIS, demonstrating that they have made an investment in a new commercial enterprise in the USA and that this investment meets the necessary requirements. The Form I-526 application includes evidence of the investment and the jobs created.
After the application is approved, USCIS reviews and approves the petition. Once the application is approved, it is forwarded to the applicant's home country. The applicant is then invited to fill out the online DS-260 application form by the U.S. Department of State.
Once the DS-260 form is completed, the applicant attends an interview at the U.S. consulate. If the interview goes well, the immigrant visa is approved. The applicant then enters the USA and receives their Green Card by mail.
📄 Required Documents
The required documents for the EB-5 Investor Visa application include Form I-526, bank statements, medical examination reports, documents related to the commercial enterprise where the investment was made, and copies of the company's tax returns. These documents are essential to ensure that the application is complete and processed correctly.
