EB-5 INVESTOR VISA: 

Several countries have developed immigrant investor programs, which offer permanent residency visas or green cards to qualified investors. The most prominent countries that have developed such programs are Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

The U.S. immigrant investor program provides for the issuance of "conditional" or temporary (two year) green cards to qualifying investors and their families who invest a minimum of US $1 million (or US $500,000 in designated target areas, including the PIDC Regional Center in Philadelphia) in businesses that create at least ten full-time permanent jobs for U.S. workers.  Provided that the investment is maintained and achieves the job requirements of the Program, "unconditional" or permanent green cards will be issued after two years.
