The EB-5 Green Card

171 videos • 217 views • by Scott Legal, P.C. If you want a green card and have ever thought about starting or purchasing a business in the United States, an EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa (“EB-5 Visa”) could be perfect for you. Generally speaking, the EB-5 Visa requires that you invest either $1,050,000 or $800,000 (the lower, $800,000 investment is permitted in rural or high unemployment settings, which are also known as “targeted employment areas,” or “TEA”). In return, the U.S. government provides the investor with a green card. The government makes 10,000 of these green cards available every year.
