The U.S. EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, established by the U.S. Congress in 1990, is an immigrant visa category designed for overseas investors, also known as the Employment-Based Fifth Preference (EB-5). Under the latest legislation, the EB-5 Regional Center Program has been extended until September 30, 2027, with adjustments made to the investment amounts.
As you may know, in 2019, following new U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) regulations, the investment amount for Targeted Employment Area (TEA) projects increased from $500,000 to $900,000, and for non-TEA projects, it increased from $1 million to $1.8 million. Meanwhile, under the current latest legislation, the investment amount is $800,000 for TEA projects and $1.05 million for non-TEA projects. This marks the end of the 29-year era since 1990, during which the investment requirement was $500,000 for TEA projects and $1 million for non-TEA projects!
Compared to the past, it can be said that now is a good time to immigrate to the U.S. via the EB-5 investor route. In terms of investment amount, compared to the $900,000 required in 2019, it has now decreased by $100,000 to just $800,000. If calculated in gold, the current investment amount is only about 30% of what it was in 1990. The price of gold around May 20, 1990, was approximately $370/ounce, while the price of gold during the same period in 2023 was approximately $1,993/ounce. Let's make a rough estimate: in 1990, an EB-5 investment of $500,000 (TEA) could purchase about 1,350 ounces of gold; currently, an EB-5 investment of $800,000 (TEA) can purchase about 400 ounces of gold. By comparison, 33 years later, $800,000 can only buy about 30% of the gold that $500,000 could buy in 1990.
Furthermore, regarding application requirements, the U.S. EB-5 immigrant investor program has lenient conditions with no restrictions on age, education, language, business background, or work experience. One person applies, and the whole family immigrates to the U.S., with the ability to live and work anywhere in the country. Children enjoy free public education (K-12), and spouses and unmarried children under 21 can immigrate together.
Even more surprisingly, investors can currently qualify for rural TEA projects under the new act, which not only enjoy reserved EB-5 visa quotas but also receive priority processing from USCIS, allowing for rapid immigration without a backlog. Additionally, the new act allows eligible applicants to concurrently file Form I-526E/I-526 (Immigrant Petition) and Form I-485 (Adjustment of Status).
Therefore, in many respects, the EB-5 investor route is an excellent choice for immigrating to the U.S. Now is also a good time to immigrate through this method. For investors with a rigid demand for U.S. immigration, hesitation results in the loss of not just money, but an irreplaceable opportunity.
Currently, investors can choose the popular "Florida Lakeside Jewish Community" project to immigrate to the U.S. This project qualifies as a rural TEA project under the new act, enjoying not only reserved EB-5 visa quotas but also priority processing by USCIS. It combines multiple advantages, including no backlog, a project job creation multiplier as high as 5.44, and first-priority mortgage security for EB-5 funds! Good projects do not wait; interested parties should act quickly!
Immigration has two key elements—timing and choice! The Florida Lakeside Jewish Community EB-5 project is currently in high demand. Project spots are limited, so subscribe quickly; interested investors should seize the opportunity.
