What is the EB-5 Program?

The U.S. government’s EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program provides foreign nationals an opportunity to obtain U.S. permanent residency (a “green card”) for themselves and their immediate family members for investing in American businesses that create new jobs. The investor, his or her spouse, and any unmarried children under 21 may become eligible to receive permanent U.S. green cards, allowing them to live and work anywhere in the United States.

What is the EB-5 Program?

Green Card Benefits

The EB-5 program allows those wishing to obtain a green card a chance to live the American Dream by providing the investor and his or her immediate family opportunities to live, study, work, and retire anywhere in the United States. Specifically, the benefits include:


Lower College Tuition

Save up to $100,000 in tuition fees per child at top U.S. universities.


Work Authorization

Enjoy unrestricted career opportunities in the U.S. job market.


Path to Naturalization

Achieve full U.S. citizenship in five years with a clear roadmap.


Residence Flexibility

To live anywhere in the U.S.


Travel Privileges

So you can leave and enter the U.S. at will, without a visa


No Need to Renew

As long as you apply to replace your green card every 10 years


Access to Social Security

So you may receive retirement benefits, such as a supplemental income, after contributing to the Social Security system


Access to Medicare

So you can enjoy health insurance benefits from the U.S. government from the age of 65 after residing in the U.S. for five years

Fast-Track to U.S. Residency

With a carefully structured EB-5 investment, you can achieve a green card in as little as two years.

The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program has long been a pathway for foreign investors seeking U.S. residency, but recent changes under the Reform and Integrity Act (RIA) of 2022 have made rural EB-5 projects more attractive than ever.

One of the most significant benefits of the RIA is the priority processing granted to rural EB-5 projects. Unlike standard EB-5 petitions, which can take years to be adjudicated, rural project investors receive expedited processing, significantly reducing wait times for I-526E petition approvals.

Why Invest in Rural EB-5 Projects?

Faster Processing – Rural EB-5 projects receive priority, meaning investors can expect quicker adjudications compared to urban projects.

Reserved Visa Set-Asides

The RIA allocates 20% of the total EB-5 visa pool to investors in rural projects, reducing backlog concerns.

Lower Competition for Visas

Given the preference for rural investments, investors from high-demand countries may face fewer delays.

What qualifies as rural?

A rural area is defined as a location outside a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) and not within the outer boundaries of a city or town with a population of 20,000 or more. These projects often focus on critical infrastructure, real estate development, hospitality, and job creation in underserved communities.

With the RIA's reforms ensuring greater transparency and efficiency, investing in a rural EB-5 project is now one of the most strategic routes to securing a U.S. Green Card.
