The EB-5 immigrant investor category is established in INA § 203(b)(5), codified at 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b)(5), and further modified by the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022. It allows qualifying investors to obtain permanent residence by investing in U.S. businesses that create jobs for U.S. workers.

Vargas Gonzalez Delombard, LLP concentrates on complex litigation and property-related disputes. That’s why we collaborate with attorneys who have experience in immigration and EB-5 matters to evaluate investor options, project structures, and related risks.

What Is EB-5?

Under EB-5, foreign investors may qualify for green cards by:

  • Making a required capital investment in a new commercial enterprise
  • Creating or preserving at least 10 full-time jobs for qualifying U.S. workers
  • Meeting specific investment thresholds, including rules for targeted employment areas and set-asides


EB-5 is highly technical and subject to stringent compliance, reporting, and source-of-funds requirements.
