EB-5
- The Regional Center EB-5 immigrant investor visa program offers more advantages and fewer constraints than any other visa program in the world.
- The United States has no requirements as to age, business training, management skills or other experience, and no language skills requirements. The EB-5 permanent visa requires no future re-qualification.
- The investor has no obligation or requirement to accept employment.
- The education benefits of permanent residents are available to all EB-5 visa holders such as admission to State universities at state residency costs.
- Qualifying investors, their spouse and unmarried children less than 21 years of age all will be granted United States Lawful Permanent Residency.
- During the period of temporary permanent visas there is a residency time requirement.
- Legal permanent residents under the EB-5 Investor Visa Program enjoy the same benefits as every other United States resident absent the right to vote.
- The EB-5 investment program does not require immigrant investors to manage their investment on a daily basis, but rather they are allowed to be deemed to ‘actively engaged’ in a business enterprise; meaning they can be limited partners (this is the structure of all our investments) and pursue other professional or personal ventures.
