EB-5 pilot program
In order to encourage immigration through the EB-5 category, the Regional Center program was created. This program reduces the required investment sum to $900,000 USD if the commercial enterprise that receives the investment is situated in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA). The Regional Centers program does not require the immigrant investor enterprise itself to employ 10 U.S. workers. It only requires that 10 or more jobs are created indirectly as a result of the investment.
** We require only copies of documents, although you may be required to present originals if requested by the U.S. immigration officer.
