  • TYou need neither a visa sponsor nor an employment sponsor for the EB-5 program.

What Are the Requirements for an EB-5 Investment?

EB-5 Investments must adhere to the following conditions:

  • EB-5 investors must make a minimum investment of $800,000 for projects that are located in targeted employment areas (TEAs). They must make a minimum investment of $1,050,000 for EB5 investment projects outside low-income or rural TEAs. Luckily, all EB-5 investment projects managed by EB5AN EB-5 are in TEAs, meaning EB-5 investors who work with them can invest the lower minimum amount of $800,000.
  • An EB-5 investment has to create or preserve a minimum of 10 jobs for eligible U.S. employees. Each job must have full-time hours and last for at least two years.
  • An EB-5 investment must create a new commercial enterprise. Alternatively, an EB-5 investment may help recuperate an eligible troubled business.
  • EB-5 investors are required to show proof that they acquired their funds by lawful means and that their capital stayed at risk for the duration it was invested.

Choosing the Most Efficacious EB-5 Investment Project

Potential EB-5 investors from Delhi should plan to keep two types of risk in mind when looking at potential E-B5 investment projects. These are immigration risk and financial risk.

An EB-5 investor’s capital has to be considered at risk the entire time it remains invested. This measure is in place to make sure U.S. green cards are not simply “purchased” and that funds are really invested.

However, EB-5 investors should not think this means they need to put capital into a “risky” project. In reality, best practice for EB-5 investors is to carefully evaluate projects to determine which ones are associated with the smallest amount of immigration and financial risk.

To provide EB-5 investors with guidance in this process, EB5AN and Klasko Immigration Law Partners have made an EB-5 Project Risk Assessment Tool available to them. The assessment comprises questions to help EB-5 investors determine what projects make the best investments, using the perspectives of both financial and immigration risk.

What Are the Advantages of EB5 investments in Regional Center Projects?

EB-5 investors who pick a project sponsored by an EB-5 regional center will have a simplified application process. This is particularly true regarding showing proof that an investment has met job creation requirements. Regional centers are unique in that they are permitted to use an indirect method to calculate jobs created from EB-5 investments. With this method, an economic study is used to determine job creation resulting from an EB5 investment. It is permissible for this method to be used to calculate up to 90% of jobs that result from an EB-5 investment in a regional center project. What this means for EB-5 investors is that for a significant portion of jobs resulting from their investment, they will have to prove only that their investment was used in line with a regional center’s business plan, instead of providing W-2 employee documents as proof of job creation.
