About the EB-5 Visa Classification
By the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
Visa Classification Description
USCIS administers the EB-5 program, created by Congress in 1990 to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors. Under a program initially enacted as a pilot in 1992, and regularly reauthorized since then, investors may also qualify for EB-5 classification by investing through regional centers designated by USCIS based on proposals for promoting economic growth. On May 5, 2017, the President signed Public Law 115-31 extending the regional center program through Sept. 30, 2017. See full article here
