Your Alternative Path to a U.S. Green Card

Do you need a U.S. green card or work authorization to begin — or continue — living and working in the U.S., including the Dallas-Fort Worth area?

Are you a current visa holder – H-1B/F-1/OPT/CPT/E-2/TN – who wants to adjust your immigration status immediately?

If so, you might be qualified to obtain U.S permanent residency (a “green card”) through the EB-5 program in as little as six months – so long as you meet the SEC’s definition of an accredited investor“.

The EB-5 program requires a minimum investment of $800,000 to qualify. We will guide you through the process.

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, including the DFW area.
