No, speaking and writing English is not a requirement for the EB-5 program''s immigration requirements. If you are otherwise eligible for the visa and as an investor, then you can apply. After you become a permanent resident (and have the conditions on your residence removed), you can seek to apply for U.S. citizenship after being a resident for 5 years. It is the process of applying for citizenship that requires the ability to speak English (unless an exemption under the law applies, such as length of residence or a medical condition). As long as you maintain your residence in the United States, you can continue to remain a resident and not seek citizenship if you are unable to learn English.

If you are applying through a regional center, this is not an issue. If you are applying to develop and direct your own business, this could become an issue if your business will be dealing with the public.

No, being fluent in English is not a requirement for EB-5 application. But you do need to be educated and sophisticated in making financial investment decisions.

Although all immigrants to the United States are encouraged to learn English, there is no requirement that an EB-5 investor must speak English. The consular interview may be conducted in English, but if it is in the investor''s home country, there will be assistance in the native language.

English fluency is not a requirement. The only process in which you may have to speak English would be at the embassy/consulate when you are being interviewed for the immigrant Visa. The level of English needed in this instance, however, would be like any other visa application, including visitor''s visa, interview at the consulate.

The ability to read, speak and understand English is not a requirement of the EB-5 program. Even at the time of the U.S. consulate interview for the conditional permanent residency, you and your family members do not need to speak English. In fact, at this interview you may bring in a translator.

The USCIS does NOT require that you pass any English language proficiency test to receive the EB5 immigrant investor visa. However, it is very important that you have the assistance of a qualified and reliable expert who can read, understand and translate all of the English language investment documents that you will need to sign as a requirement to investing in an EB5 project.

You may be required to attend an interview for obtaining the actual EB-5 visa (that is, after the I-526 petition is approved). Fluency is not required. When applying for citizenship, you will need to respond to the questions in English, and read and write a brief statement in English to prove proficiency (again, not fluency).
