How the EB-5 Visa Program Works
Foreign investors initially receive “a conditional permanent residence.” This means that applicants must live up to their developmental projects and progress. After two years, the investor must show that all requirements have been met before petitioning for full permanent residence. Commercial enterprises must have been established on or after November 29, 1990, and have been expanded through the investment so that a 40% increase in the net worth of the number of employees occurs. Commercial enterprises include:
- Sole proprietorship
- Partnership (limited or general)
- Holding company
- Joint venture
- Corporation

Your Rights
Much like other visas, an EB-5 visa provides the same green card as other qualifying processes. The investor and his or her family are allowed to live, study, work, and, retire anywhere in the United States so long as the applicant abides by the requirements of their visa. Conditional permanent residence will also be removed from the status of dependents. After five years after having first received conditional permanent residency, they can become naturalized citizens.
