美國EB-5投資移民

Employment-Based fifth preference visa (EB-5)

Project Description

The U.S. EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, administered by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), is a priority employment-based immigration programme designed to attract foreign investment and promote economic development. The primary goal of the programme is to create jobs through investment, drive capital inflows, and promote local economic growth. Generally, applicants are required to invest in designated U.S. regional centres and create at least 10 jobs in order to obtain U.S. permanent resident status (green card) and to live and work freely in the United States.
