The EB-5 Visa has become a strategic pathway for Brazilian families seeking access to world-class education and long-term career opportunities for their children in the United States. By obtaining a US Green Card, students can transition from international applicants to domestic residents, gaining greater access to leading universities, potential tuition benefits, and expanded professional opportunities after graduation.
Marcelo Gorenstein, Senior Director, Latin America at LCR Capital Partners, highlights how the EB-5 Visa offers families more than educational access, providing a long-term strategy for their children’s future in the United States. He explains that obtaining permanent residency can help students overcome the limitations of international student visas, including higher tuition costs, competitive admission processes, and post-graduation work restrictions. Gorenstein also emphasizes the importance of early planning, as families seeking to benefit from the EB-5 program’s current rules should consider the September 30, 2026 grandfathering deadline.
