What type of jobs count as indirect EB-5 jobs?

Indirect employment creation is based on the expenditure of EB-5 funds in certain business categories like construction, operations, etc. A proper economic impact report will detail all the job creation for a project, and this information should also be contained in a business plan and even the offering documents. An immigration attorney will help you review a project and its documents for issues like job creation.

Indirect jobs that last longer than 2 years will count, such as jobs created by commercial tenants in the hotel or jobs created by the construction company used to build the hotel.

Direct jobs are actual full-time positions created by your business. Indirect jobs are created by other businesses that come into existence due to the economic growth of your business. Construction jobs count if they last in excess of two years.

For direct projects, the jobs must last at least two years and be full-time 35 hours a week. When a regional center project can prove that the construction period will exceed 24 months, EB-5 investors can then claim indirect resulting from the construction phase activities and from qualified construction expenditures. USCIS may require claims of construction to be verified by means of requiring third-party validation of construction data and regional industry standards. Hotels can also claim operational jobs.
