Yes, Iranian citizens are eligible for participation in the EB-5 visa program. However, prospective EB-5 investors from Iran may be subject to limitations governed by OFAC pursuant to U.S. sanctions. Interested investors should consult with an attorney to determine if they are required to obtain an OFAC license before filing an EB-5 petition with the USCIS.
