What Was the Immigration Act of 1990?
The federal government created the EB-5 visa program with the introduction of the Immigration Act of 1990. This piece of legislation increased the chances of an immigrant receiving legal entry into the United States. The path to residency can be a long, difficult process. Through the creation of programs such as the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, however, a person looking to come to America can bypass some of the waiting and red tape that often accompanies the immigration process.

Immigration Changes
Immigration has always been a major part of the United States. In each generation, a new wave of hopeful immigrants has worked to carve out a new life as Americans. The government recognizes how important immigrants are to the basic fibers of American society, and has created programs to help immigrants establish their lives in the United States. The Immigration Act of 1990 worked towards this goal by providing the following changes to immigration law:
- Increased number of immigrants allowed into the country
- Creation of a visa lottery system
- Removed sexual preferences as an immigration barrier
- Created English language exemptions for some immigrants
- Created important programs, such as the EB-5 visa program
This law has helped thousands of immigrants gain entrance into the U.S., boosting the country’s cultural diversity and generating innovative ideas for the future.
