Immigration AttorneyIt is not clear from your facts whether you have a U.S. business and a potential EB-5 investor interested in direct EB-5 investment into your U.S. entity, or whether an EB-5 investor is looking to invest through a USCIS approved regional center project. If it is a direct investment, at least 10 full time jobs (at least 35 hours/week) will be required to be created by the U.S. entity through this EB-5 investment. The investment amount is $1 million for non-targeted employment areas or $500,000 if the U.S. business is in rural area or targeted employment area. The investor should consult an EB-5 immigration attorney to determine his or her eligibility for the EB-5 program.
