Why choose the EB-5 Visa?
The EB-5 does not have requirements such as education, language, skill or management to qualify for the program. The program also does not need an employer sponsor in order to qualify for the program. When investors have gained their visa, they will have conditional permanent residency to live and work within the United States during the time they meet their EB-5 visa requirements. Once investors have met these requirements and have gained an approved I-829, they will be granted unconditional permanent residency. EB-5 visas also mean that the investors will not have limitations to where they live, work or where they go to school and study.
