Secure Your Future in the United States Through Investment

For international investors and families seeking permanent residency in the United States, the EB5 Investment Green Card is one of the most direct and rewarding immigration pathways. By investing in a qualifying U.S. business or project, you can obtain lawful permanent residency — not just for yourself, but also for your spouse and children under 21. At Shoora EB5, we make this process transparent, secure, and strategically planned — helping investors successfully navigate the EB5 program from start to finish.

What Is the EB5 Investment Green Card?

The EB5 Green Card, also known as the EB5 Immigrant Investor Visa, allows qualified foreign investors to earn U.S. permanent residency by investing in a new commercial enterprise that creates at least 10 full-time American jobs.

Key benefits include:

  • U.S. Green Card for the investor, spouse, and children under 21
  • Freedom to live, work, and study anywhere in the U.S.
  • No sponsorship or employer requirements
  • Eligibility for U.S. citizenship after five years of residency

EB5 Investment Requirements and Costs

The EB5 program is regulated by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and sets specific investment thresholds based on project location:
  • $800,000 for projects in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA) — rural or high-unemployment areas
  • $1,050,000 for projects outside of a TEA
In addition to the investment itself, you should also plan for:
  • Legal and USCIS filing fees for Form I-526E and Form I-829
  • Regional center administration fees
  • Source-of-funds verification and due diligence costs
While these amounts may seem significant, the long-term value of permanent U.S. residency — access to global business opportunities, education, and stability — far outweighs the costs.
