What are the application conditions for EB-5?

EB-5 has quite loose requirements for applicants' qualifications. Investors don't need to be restricted by any business background, age, education level and language ability, as long as they can prove that the source of their investment funds is legal. Moreover, this fund is not required to be obtained through the operation of the enterprise itself, but can also be inherited or donated.

This immigration category is characterized by "family immigration", that is, investors and their spouses and unmarried children under 2 1 can apply for immigration at the same time.

Application conditions:

(1) There is no clear restriction on the age of investors.

However, the United States Immigration Act (INA)-the only specific requirement of this law is that the legal minimum age of "biometric identification" before the adjustment of identity is 14 years old. However, the law also stipulates that the applicant is under 14 years old, and the inability to collect fingerprints does not constitute the reason for the Immigration Bureau to refuse the immigration application. However, the fact that fingerprints cannot be collected will bring complexity that the Immigration Bureau does not want to face in the application process.

(2) Investors do not have to have any academic qualifications, business or work experience.

(3) The investor must have an asset certificate of $500,000 (the applicant does not need to accumulate it himself, and there are gifts and inheritance, etc.). It is also acceptable, but it must be through legal and proper channels. )

(4) Investors must have invested or are actively investing the specified investment amount.

(5) The investor is in good health and has no criminal record.
