As Shilpa Menon, Managing Director, Commercial at LCR Capital Partners, states, “The EB5 program provides a direct route to a US Green Card for the investor, their spouse, and unmarried children under 21, in exchange for a qualifying investment in a government-approved project that creates at least 10 jobs in the US economy.”
One of the key advantages of the EB5 program is the ability to secure work authorization in four to six months, with permanent residency typically achieved in approximately two years. Investors gain the freedom to live and work anywhere in the United States, while their families benefit from improved access to top US universities and reduced tuition costs. The program extends to the investor’s spouse and children under 21 and also provides a clear path to US citizenship after five years of permanent residency.
