Employment Authorization Document (EAD Work Permit):
Allows the investor and family members to work for any employer or start a business in the U.S. without visa sponsorship.
Navigating U.S. immigration through employer-sponsored non-immigrant visas (such as H-1B, L-1, or O-1) exposes families to severe uncertainty, strict employer dependence, and decades-long backlogs for green cards. The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program offers a direct, self-directed path to U.S. Permanent Residency that protects your family's long-term independence.
A single $800,000 investment grants Green Cards to the primary investor, their legal spouse, and all unmarried children under 21 years of age at the time of filing.
The EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 protects dependent children against 'aging out' (turning 21) once Form I-526E is filed, preserving their green card eligibility.
Unlike visa programs tied to specific regional employers or property ownership, EB-5 Green Card holders have total freedom to reside, work, or establish businesses anywhere in all 50 U.S. states.

Investors can file Form I-526E (Immigrant Petition) and Form I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status) at the exact same time. This unlocks immediate benefits within 60 to 90 days:
