What is the USCIS EB-5 Immigration Investor program?

Empire State EB-5 Regional Center

The USCIS administers the Immigrant Investor Program, also known as “EB-5” or 
"Employment-Based Immigration: Fifth Preference ," created by Congress in 1990 to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors in U.S. business ventures. Under a pilot immigration program first enacted in 1992 and recently extended another three years into 2015, certain EB-5 visas also are set aside for investors in Regional Centers designated by USCIS based on proposals for promoting economic growth.

  • The minimum qualifying investment in the United States is $1 million.
  • Targeted Employment Area (High Unemployment or Rural Area). The minimum qualifying investment either within a high-unemployment area or rural area in the United States is $500,000.
