What is the Visa EB-5 US immigration program?

The EB-5 Visa immigration program (Employment Base Fifth) is an investment attraction program in which investors can acquire a US permanent resident card (or green card) for the whole family.

In order to create jobs for US citizens, the EB-5 immigration program was promulgated by the US Congress in the 1990s. Through the program, investors from other countries will invest or establish businesses in the United States.

After a successful period of investment, investors and their families (including spouses and children under 21 years of age) will acquire a US green card and permanent resident rights. At the same time, this is also an opportunity to acquire US citizenship.
