How Involved Will I Be with My Investment?

The EB-5 visa program requires prospective immigrants to provide a $1,000,000 investment in an American business that will create jobs. This can be reduced if the investment is targeted towards rural or low-employment areas. While this gives many people the opportunity to take up an investment role in an American company, others may not be so enthusiastic about these financial responsibilities.

Important Facts about Investment Requirements in the EB-5 Visa Program

The EB-5 visa program does have a particular level of responsibility that an investor is meant to assume. The following facts may help a 3person decide whether the EB-5 program is right for them:

#1: As an investor, a person will assume liability for their investment.

The United States government will not reimburse anyone for money they lose as a result of an EB-5 investment, and will not reimburse this money if their application is denied. Normal investment risks are assumed to be the investor’s responsibility.

#2: An investor does play a role in the business.

With an investment needed for the EB-5 program, a person will assume some level of responsibility in the company they invest in. This often means an investor will have some degree of control over the policy-making decisions at that company.

#3: An investor may have more options if they want to fund their own business.

Depending on the circumstances, a person may want to look at other programs available from the federal government if they want to invest in their own business. An immigration lawyer can explain these options in further detail.
