An EB5 Visa is a visa issued to investors who seek to enter the USA to invest a minimum of $500,000 US dollars and create 10 new jobs for USA workers. The best thing about the EB5 visa is that from the start, EB5 holders can live in the USA as Resident Aliens.
With another kind of visa, investors must 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.
