The EB-5 program provides permanent U.S. residency to foreign investors and their immediate families (children up to age of 21) in exchange for a job creating investment into a new American business or real estate project.
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) administers the EB-5 program and approves and designates Regional Centers to bring foreign investment into the United States.
