FAQs
What is the minimum investment required for EB‑5?
The minimum investment is generally US $800 000 for qualifying projects in targeted areas or certain special projects, and US $1 050 000 for other projects. Exact amounts depend on current regulations and project type
Does EB‑5 guarantee a Green Card?
No. Although EB‑5 is a serious route to permanent residency, success is not guaranteed. Your case’s success depends on the investment, source of funds, job creation, financial documents, project structure and immigration review
Is EB‑5 investment risk‑free?
No. EB‑5 investments must be exposed to commercial risk. No project should be presented as completely risk‑free. It is important to analyse the project structure, risks, documents and investment conditions carefully to minimise risk
Can I apply through approved large projects?
Yes. Many EB‑5 applicants invest through projects managed by Regional Centers. This option suits those who do not want daily business management; however, project selection, financial structure and risks should still be carefully reviewed
