How much can I invest in the United States to become an American citizen?

EB-5 is the "Investment Immigration Project Act" passed by the US Congress 1990. Its purpose is to attract foreign investors to invest in the United States and create new jobs and employment opportunities. Its immigration category is called EB-5, which is the fifth priority among professional immigrants in American immigration law. In order to promote the local economic development in the United States, 1993, EB-5 investment immigration law specially added the "regional center pilot program", agreeing to concentrate the investment amount in the areas designated by the government (that is, the designated low-employment areas, the English original text is targeted employment areas), thus relaxing the application conditions for investment immigrants. In 2002, former US President George W. Bush approved the American Regional Center Investment Immigration Act, which was repeatedly postponed to 2065438+02101October 30. The American Regional Center Investment Immigration Act refers to investing in some "regional centers" designated by the US government. The investment threshold has been reduced to 500,000 US dollars, and the active investment required by the original act has also been reduced to passive investment by entrusting funds to regional center investment companies.

EB-5 is a convenient channel with the shortest application time and the least qualifications among all immigration categories in the United States. EB-5 is the abbreviation of English Employment Based Fifth Preference, which means "the fifth kind of priority employment immigrants" in Chinese. There is no fixed and detailed standard for "investment immigration". As long as they obtain permanent residency by injecting capital into the target country, they are all called investment immigrants, which is just different from skilled immigrants and relatives immigrants. From the English text of EB-5, we can know that the legislative spirit of American investment immigration lies in creating employment opportunities. This is fully reflected in the EB-5 application conditions.
