An EB5 Visa is the best for anyone who wants to live permanently in the United States. Many immigrants who do not have an EB-5 work very hard to convert their visas into Lawful Permanent Residency (a Green Card). The EB5 Visa is the best visa because the EB5 does not have to be converted into a Green Card. It is a Green Card from the outset.

1. You and your family can live, study and work in the anywhere in the US. Your "family" includes spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21.

4. You may use your EB-5 to Sponsor green cards for relatives
5. You do not need to keep renewing your visa to travel in and out of the United States
6. You and your family may qualify for in-state tuition at public colleges and universities
7. You are eligible to apply for United States Citizenship 5 years after getting your EB-5
