How to enter the EB-5 program? Key points to know when investing in the USA

¿Cómo obtener la Visa EB-5? Puntos clave que debes conocer para invertir en USA

The EB-5 Program is an investment opportunity oriented to foreigners and provides the possibility of obtaining a “Green Card” and residing legally in the United States. By participating in the EB-5 program, operated by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the interested investor will be able to obtain the same transit and residency benefits as a U.S. citizen. Likewise, this benefit also applies to your immediate family, such as spouse and unmarried children under 21 years of age.

This program is also known as the Fifth Preference Work Visa or Immigrant Investor Program, and was established in 1990 by the U.S. Congress as a measure to promote foreign investment and increase the local economy.
