What people are saying about us
EB-5 Investor’s conferences save me time by allowing me to meet key partners and consultants in one day, instead of a week of traveling around Asia. Plus, getting the market and regulatory updates from the best in the business is another reason why these are must-attend events.
Thank you, EB5 Investors, for another successful conference. It was a great opportunity to connect with colleagues and discuss ongoing and future projects. The insightful panels, “Fireside Chats,” and Project Pitch Competition were engaging and informative. Your innovative programming keeps everyone interested, and we look forward to sponsoring more events in the future.
The Southern California EB-5 Conference hosted by EB5 Investors Magazine was the best one-day event I have attended in years. The combination of regional centers, immigration, corporate and securities lawyers, economists, and developers was remarkable. Having Bob Goodlatte, Chair of the House Judiciary Committee speak, was icing on the cake.

EB-5 Event Previews
What is an EB-5 visa?
The EB-5 visa, or Employment-Based Fifth Preference visa, allows foreign investors to obtain permanent residency (a green card) in the United States.
The EB-5 visa is one of five employment-based paths to permanent residency in the U.S.
How much do I need to invest for the EB-5 visa?
For the EB-5 visa, the required investment amount depends on the location. Specifically, you must invest either $800,000 if the project is in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA), or alternatively, $1,050,000 in a non-TEA (everywhere else in the United States).
How does the EB-5 program work?
If a foreign national makes a qualifying investment that creates 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers, they are eligible for permanent residency in the U.S.
What is the EB-5 visa processing timeline?
The applicant’s country of birth significantly influences the EB-5 visa processing timeline, as the U.S. government imposes annual limits on the number of visas granted to each country.
What is an EB-5 regional center?
USCIS licenses EB-5 regional centers to sponsor EB-5 investments. Sponsoring an EB-5 project by these entities enables the foreign national to claim credit for indirectly creating jobs.
What are the benefits of a U.S. green card?
EB-5 investors who obtain U.S. green cards can live and work anywhere. They may apply for citizenship 5 years after receiving conditional permanent residency, provided they meet certain conditions.
Can EB-5 Investors receive their investment capital back?
EB-5 investors can receive their investment capital back after filing Form I-829, provided they comply with legal requirements and the project documents state such a return of capital will occur.
