EB-5 Visa
The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program grants a green card to foreign nationals who invest at least $800,000 in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA) or $1,050,000 elsewhere, creating or preserving at least 10 full-time jobs for US workers. After the 2022 Reform and Integrity Act, EB-5 investors in rural TEAs receive reserved visa numbers with faster processing. The program involves filing an I-526E petition, receiving conditional residence for 2 years, then filing I-829 to remove conditions. Total timeline: approximately 2-4 years from filing to unconditional green card.
