-- Global Immigration Partners, a leading international immigration law firm, today announced the updated requirements for the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program in 2025. These updates arrive as the U.S. government contemplates significant changes to its investment-based immigration pathways.
The EB-5 program (https://globalimmigration.com/services/eb5visa/) continues to offer a pathway to permanent residency in the United States for foreign investors who meet specific criteria. For 2025, the key requirements include:
- Minimum Investment Thresholds: $1,050,000 for standard investments or $$800,000 for investments within Targeted Employment Areas (TEAs), which encompass rural regions, areas with high unemployment, or government infrastructure projects.
- Job Creation Mandate: Investments must demonstrably create or preserve at least 10 full-time positions for qualified U.S. workers.
- Eligible Investment Vehicles: Funds must be directed into a new commercial enterprise established after November 29, 1990, or into a restructured or expanded existing business that meets specific criteria.
- Application Process: The process begins with the submission of Form I-526 or I-526E. Upon approval, applicants residing in the U.S. can file Form I-485 for adjustment of status, while those residing abroad will undergo consular processing via Form DS-260.
These updates come at a time when the landscape of U.S. immigration policy is under consideration for potential significant alterations. Notably, the recent introduction of the "Gold Card" proposal (http://globalimmigration.com/goldcard/) by President Donald Trump suggests a potential alternative to the EB-5 program. This initiative proposes offering U.S. residency and a path to citizenship for a substantial $5 million investment, without the prerequisite of job creation. This proposal has ignited discussions regarding its potential impact and legal implications.
