Advantages of the U.S. EB-5 Investment Immigration Program
This visa category has been in effect since 1991. In 1993, the U.S. government added a "Regional Center Pilot Program" to the EB-5 immigration regulations, which relaxed the requirement of "directly creating ten jobs" to "directly or indirectly creating ten jobs." This makes EB-5 one of the most convenient channels among all U.S. immigration categories, with shorter approval times and fewer qualification restrictions.
