EB-5 requires a substantial qualifying investment in a new commercial enterprise, with a lower minimum available for investments in a targeted employment area (TEA) and a higher minimum for standard projects.
The EB-5 program requires you to invest a significant amount of capital into a new commercial enterprise in the United States. There is a higher standard minimum and a reduced minimum for projects located in a targeted employment area, which includes rural areas and areas of high unemployment.
Because the specific dollar thresholds are set by regulation and have been adjusted over time, you should confirm the current minimum amounts directly with USCIS before investing. The key principle is that the capital must be genuinely at risk in a qualifying enterprise; placing money in a low-risk holding arrangement does not satisfy the at-risk requirement.
