The EB-5 visa provides a superior and permanent path to the U.S. The economic and political security provided by the EB-5 visa, and the ability to apply for one immediately, make it an ideal vehicle for those with financial means who desire U.S. permanent residency or citizenship.

The visa-holder has the lifelong right to live and work in the United States without restriction. The EB-5 visa offers a relatively quick, sure and painless path to U.S. permanent residency and citizenship for those with the necessary financial means.

Key attributes of the visa include:

A $900,000 minimum investment is required
The entire $900,000 must be invested without deduction for legal fees, commissions, wire transfer charges or other expenses.
The investment capital can come from any lawful source, including gift, loan, sale of property, pension, inheritance, etc.
Spouse and unmarried children under age 21 receive their own EB-5 visas.

Funds can be provided via loans, gifts, sale of property, inheritance or any other legal source.
The investment must create 10 new direct or indirect jobs. All Seattle Regional Center programs produce jobs substantially in excess of USCIS requirements.
Passive investment is acceptable, with no requirement for day-to-day management.
Projects provide policy-making role and substantial investor voting control.

No material change permitted from investment project submitted with visa application.
Exit from investment possible once employment figures are verified.
The investment may be secured or speculative, as long as the capital is technically at risk.
