EB-5 Visas for Family Members
The Immigrant Investor Program provides an EB-5 visa to investors who wish to invest a significant amount of capital into a new or existing enterprise and establish legal permanent residence in the United States. Qualified persons must demonstrate the ability to invest capital, the legal source of that capital, and must meet general entry requirements. Certain family members of the investor also qualify for this type of visa if they meet general conditions.
Because of the extensive application and program requirements, it is important to work with an experienced team of EB-5 visa attorneys who can make sure you comply with all of the program’s conditions and ensure the best chance of approval. To discuss your situation, contact the offices of White & Associates at 818-730-3540.
Qualifying for an EB-5 Visa
Those who can qualify for a visa under the EB-5 program include:
- Investor
- Spouse of the investor
- Children of the investor under the age of 21
The age of a child is “frozen” once the application is submitted, meaning that if the child turns 21 during the application process, he or she still can qualify for a visa. Other family members do not qualify for a visa under the EB-5 program, but may qualify for other types of visas once the investor and his or her family have established legal permanent residence without conditions.
