The Employment-Based Fifth Preference (EB5)
INVESTOR VISA
Labor Certification not required

This is a visa category is designed for those who invest one million dollars in a new enterprise that employs 10 U.S. workers (exclusive of the immigrant, his/her spouse and sons and daughters) or $500,000 if the investment is in certain rural areas or an area of unemployment of at least 150% of the national average. Investor visas for those investing in rural or high unemployment areas are limited to a maximum of 3,000 every year.

"EB5 investors" obtain permanent resident status on a conditional basis for two years and then must apply to "remove the condition."
