The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program offers a variety of investment options<\/a> to prospective applicants. Regardless of the investment type, all methods share the same baseline requirements<\/a> in order to meet United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) regulations. Notably, every EB5 investment must be made in a new commercial enterprise<\/a> (NCE). These are defined as for-profit entities engaged in lawful commercial activities, and can be structured in a variety of ways. In most situations, NCEs must have been established after November 29, 1990 for the investment to qualify. However, the purchase of an existing business is exempt from this requirement. With this method, investors have two options: restructure or reorganize the business into an NCE, or expand the business.
