    Have a chat with an EB-5 attorney who has experience with project development. The project has to create 10 full-time positions DIRECTLY within the business, for starters.

    First, unless you have a troubled business with losses, it is best to open a new business that will create at least 10 jobs per investor. Make sure you have a framework to protect and return investor money and you might have a product that is in demand.

    Complicated question. Any business can qualify. It would need to either be in a TEA or require the higher level investment and have a business plan showing the requisite jobs to be created per investor.

    To best structure an EB-5 investment package, it is best for you to contact immigration counsel to discuss further. More information is needed to better answer your question.

    If your venture will create at least 10 jobs directly, you can utilize EB-5 funding structures. You will need to work with a broker-dealer or agents abroad to find investors.

    Create a business plan to add 10 new jobs, and recruit an investor who has $1M.

    Hire an experienced deal side EB-5 attorney that can help guide you through the process of structuring an EB-5 offering and taking it to market. Many immigration firms are limited in scope with what they can help with because they have not gone through the entire EB-5 process.
