No, there is no minimum percentage of equity an EB-5 Investor is required to buy for EB-5 purposes, as long as the minimum capital requirement is met and investor has either day to day operational or policy role.

There is no minimum percentage of equities you should buy. What matters actually is that you must invest the required minimum of $900,000 if your investment project is in a TEA or rural area,.However, if the project is in urban area, the required minimum amount is $1.8million.

There is no minimum requirement as to percentage ownership. As long as your investment is subject to potential gain/loss, it is considered an at-risk investment.

No. There is no minimum. Many regional centers sell 1% shares.

Merely purchasing equities will not satisfy the requirements of EB-5. I recommend you consult with an SEC registered broker dealer and an experienced investment immigration attorney before making any investment.

The law does not proscribe a required percent of ownership. This is something you should discuss with your business advisor.

If it is a large regional center project, that number will likely be determined already. Often it''s a very small percentage. If it is a direct EB-5 without a regional center, you have more flexibility.
