May I get the EB-5 and L-1A in the same enterprise? I have the money to get an EB-5 visa and intend to open an affiliated company from Brazil in the USA. May I get two L1 to my partner and my director besides my EB-5 for the same business?

Yes, if you invest the correct amount of capital and create at least 10 new jobs in a new business, this could be the basis for both an L-1 and an EB-5. And if the position is managerial, you might also qualify for an EB-1 managerial transfer green card.
If the entity meets the L-1 qualifications, you can obtain both the L-1 and the EB-5 visas under the same enterprise.
It is possible to utilize the L-1A immediately to set up your company in the U.S. Then, you may have an option for EB-1C as a multinational executive/manager, or EB-5. The benefit with having the L-1A visa is that there is dual intent, which means you can pursue permanent residence while also being in the U.S. temporarily for work.
