About the program
The EB-5, also known as the USA Immigrant Investor program, was created through the Immigration Act of 1990 (IMMACT90) by the United States Congress. The program was established to stimulate the U.S. economy by granting permanent residency to foreign entrepreneurs along with the right to work in the United States after they have invested in an American commercial enterprise. The Immigrant Investor Pilot Program was launched in 1993 by Congress to increase interest in the EB-5 visa program.
To be able to apply for this program, you should be at least 18 years of age, in good health, and without a criminal record.
