Immigration Law Overview

The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program is governed by U.S. immigration laws that are designed to ensure that foreign investors meet specific requirements to qualify for a U.S. green card. The key laws and regulations governing the EB-5 program include:

Immigration and Nationality Act (INA):

This federal law outlines the criteria for obtaining U.S. permanent residency through investment. It specifies the minimum investment amounts, job creation requirements, and the process for filing and approving EB-5 petitions.

 

USCIS Regulations:

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is the government agency responsible for overseeing the EB-5 program. USCIS regulations define how the program operates, including the procedures for filing I-526 and I-829 petitions, the requirements for conditional permanent residency, and the process for removing conditions.

 

Targeted Employment Area (TEA):

A TEA is a rural area or an area with high unemployment that qualifies for a reduced minimum investment of $800,000. USCIS sets the criteria for TEA designation, and state governments provide certifications.

Our legal team at Home Paradise Regional Center (HPRC) works closely with top immigration attorneys to ensure that all our projects comply with these laws and that our investors are fully informed of their rights and obligations under U.S. immigration law.

Gold Card vs. EB-5 Program: What You Need to Know

The proposed “Gold Card” immigration program has sparked curiosity, but it is not a replacement for the EB-5 Regional Center Program. While both aim to attract foreign investors, the Gold Card is still just a legislative concept and not yet law. It proposes a new visa option based on passive investment, but with no direct path to a green card.

In contrast, the EB-5 Program is a well-established, proven route to U.S. permanent residency through active investment and job creation. It continues to be the only program that offers investors and their families a direct path to a green card and eventual U.S. citizenship.

Bottom line

The EB-5 Regional Center Program remains the most reliable and structured pathway for immigrant investors seeking permanent residency in the United States. Under the new law, certain categories of EB-5 investors continue to enjoy no visa backlog, further enhancing the program’s efficiency and predictability.
