Eligibility Criteria for Washington D.C. EB-5 Visa Applicants

The EB-5 visa is a direct path to U.S. citizenship and is a highly efficient way to obtain lawful permanent residency. The EB-5 visa is a visa that is not subject to annual caps or per-country caps and is available to individuals from all countries (except a few countries that have diplomatic conflicts with the United States).

Determining your eligibility for an EB-5 Visa hinges on several critical factors. Primarily, this visa program is designed for foreign investors who can significantly contribute to the U.S. economy by creating jobs and promoting capital investment. To discern if you qualify for an EB-5 Visa, consider the following prerequisites:

  • Capital Investment: You must be prepared to invest a substantial amount of capital in a new commercial enterprise in the United States. The minimum investment is $1.8 million, but this can be lowered to $900,000 if the investment is made in a targeted employment area (TEA; a rural or high-unemployment area).
  • Job Creation: Your investment must result in the creation of at least 10 full-time jobs for qualifying U.S. workers within two years of the immigrant investor’s admission to the United States as a Conditional Permanent Resident.
  • Legitimate Source of Funds: You must prove that your investment funds were obtained legally. This could include income from business, salary, investments, sale of a house, inheritance, gift, loan, or other lawful means.
  • Active Participation: While you do not need to participate in day-to-day management or policy formulation, you must be engaged in the business in some managerial role, such as being a corporate officer or board member.

If these criteria align with your situation, you could be a strong candidate for the EB-5 Visa program. Nevertheless, a Washington D.C. investor visa attorney from Lacki & Company can provide a more comprehensive review of your eligibility based on your specific circumstances.
