WHAT IS AN EB-5 VISA?
Kevin Fitzgerald, U.S. Advisors
INTRODUCTION
 As current CEO of Global Capital Advisors LLC and
former CEO of U.S. Advisors LLC, Kevin Fitzgerald holds
years of experience in real estate investment
partnerships. Kevin Fitzgerald and Global Capital
Advisors LLC offer services to connect foreign investors
with appropriate US legal counsel in order to obtain EB-5
visas.
The EB-5 program was created in the 1990s in an effort
to spur economic growth in the United States.
Administered by the United States Citizenship and
Immigration Services, the program provides an
opportunity for non-nationals interested in obtaining
permanent residency in the United States to do so
through job creation.
EB-5 VISA
 Foreign investors interested in obtaining a
visa must invest between $500,000 and
$1,000,000 in a local US economy, with the
goal of stimulating financial growth and
creating jobs. The investment must lead to
the creation of 10 full-time jobs for people
other than the investor and his or her
immediate family. At this point, the investor
becomes eligible to apply for a green card.
