EB-5 Visa Program A Strategic Route to U.S. Permanent Residency for Global Investors
The EB-5 visa enables international investors to obtain a U.S. Green Card by making a qualifying investment that supports job creation. Investment Visa Specialists deliver tailored advisory services, coordinating legal, financial, and project due diligence to help you pursue permanent residency with confidence and precision.
What Is the EB-5 Visa?
The EB-5 Visa is an employment-based immigration category established by the U.S. Congress in 1990 to stimulate economic growth through foreign investment. Eligible foreign investors, their spouses, and unmarried children under 21 can obtain conditional permanent resident status — and ultimately a Green Card — by investing in a U.S. commercial enterprise that creates or preserves at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers.
Key Benefits of the EB-5 Visa

How the EB-5 Process Works

Once the petition is approved, applicants proceed to adjustment of status (if inside the U.S.) or consular processing abroad. - Conditional Green Card
Upon approval, you and your family receive a two-year conditional permanent resident status. - Remove Conditions (I-829 Petition)
