Immigration Program
About

The EB-5, also known as the USA Immigrant Investor program, was created through the Immigration Act of 1990 (IMMACT90) by the United States Congress. The program was established to stimulate the U.S. economy by granting permanent residency to foreign entrepreneurs along with the right to work in the United States after they have invested in an American commercial enterprise. The Immigrant Investor Pilot Program was launched in 1993 by Congress to increase interest in the EB-5 visa program.

To be able to apply for this program, you should be at least 18 years of age, in good health, and without a criminal record.

The expected time-frame for the application process is 20-30 months. The first stage of the document collection can differ in length depending on the applicant’s ability to gather the documents. Our team guides this process with samples and best practice advice.

The review stage is subject to the respective Government schedule and can be impacted by factors which we, as authorised agents have no control over. Savory and Partners collaborates with the Government throughout the entire process, and we aim to provide the quickest and smoothest experience for the applicant.

Section 203(b)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), allocates 10,000 “EB-5” immigrant visas per year to qualified individuals seeking Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) status on the basis of their capital investment in a commercial enterprise.

The EB-5 regulations may be found at 8 CFR 204.6 and 8 CFR 216.6, respectively.
