Immigration AttorneyWhile your EB-5 business plan sounds novel, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is not likely to approve a virtual workers proposal. One of the rules of the EB-5 visa is that the investment must create jobs within a contiguous geographical location and purposely to help in economic development of the specific area where the business is located. Thus, having employees work from their homes throughout the United States will not meet the required standard. Just as well, EB-5 is supposed to result in the creation of jobs in the United States, and any jobs created outside the United States will not be counted.
