We thank you for your interest in the Investor Pilot Program and
we hope this section will be useful to you.
The U.S. Immigrant Investor Program is an employment-creation visa
program that was made possible by Section 610 of Public Law 102-395 (October
6, 1992).
The Program began in accordance with a congressional mandate aimed
at stimulating economic activity and creating jobs for U.S. workers,
while simultaneously affording eligible aliens the opportunity to
become lawful permanent residents (LPR).
The program provides for the issuance of conditional (two-year) green
cards to federally approved accredited investors and their families (spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21 at time of application) who invest a minimum of USD 500,000 in a qualified project, within the designated
target areas, and which creates a combined total of at least 10 full-time
direct and indirect U.S. jobs per USD 500,000 invested.
After the initial two-year period, ACFI-RC has an economist develop
a study to determine if the investment meets all the federal guidelines.
Upon the satisfaction of this requirement, the investor’s legal representative
files form I-829 with USCIS. Upon approval, the conditional green
cards become permanent. For more information, please continue to
the next section “Benefits
of the EB-5 Program.”
For your convenience, ACFI-RC has developed Printable Charts that
outline the procedures and steps to take to invest in a Regional
Center project through the EB-5 Visa Program and ACFI-RC. *These procedures and steps may vary.
