Investment Emmigration

The U.S. emmigration visa category called “EB-5” is available for those who invest a large sum of money to the U.S. To be eligible for this category, the applicant must invest $1 million in a new U.S. commercial enterprise that employs at least 10 full-time U.S. workers. A lesser investment of
$500,000 may qualify the investor if the investment is in one of the targeted employment areas. These include rural areas with a population of
less than 20,000 or locations that have experienced an unemployment rate of 150 percent of the national average.

The U.S. Congress created the EB-5 Program in 1990 to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign
investors. To be eligible for this program, the EB-5 investor must meet two requirements:

▪ Invest US$1,050,000 to commercial enterprises (called as “direct investment”) or US$800,000 in a targeted employment area
(high unemployment or rural area) (called as “indirect investment”).

▪ Create or preserve 10 permanent full-time jobs for qualified U.S. workers.

In return, the investor and his/her accompanying family members will be granted a “conditional” U.S. permanent residence with 2 years validity. The “condition” can be removed, which means the investor becomes an “unconditional” permanent resident in the U.S. by applying for a removal of the condition to the United States Citizenship and Emmigration Services (“USCIS”) within the 90-day period immediately before the 2nd anniversary of the EB-5 investor’s admission to the U.S. as a conditional permanent resident.
