1. All EB-5 investors must invest in a new commercial enterprise;
2. All EB-5 investors must create or preserve at least 10 full-time jobs for qualifying U.S. workers within two years (or under certain circumstances, within a reasonable time after the two-year period) of the immigrant investor''s admission to the United States as a Conditional Permanent Resident.
3. The minimum qualifying investment in the United States is $1 million, unless the investment is made in a targeted employment area.
Therefore, you do not need to make over $500,000 a year to participate. However, you must be an ''accredited investor'' under the U.S. Securities Act when you invest into a regional center project.
