EB-5
6/2/2016Law Office of Prashant Ajmera & Associates
5. EB-5 Investor Visa: History
• In 1990, Congress created the Immigrant Investor Program to stimulate the
U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign
investors
• The EB-5 investor visa program enables foreigners who make an investment
in a U.S. business to obtain a green card and become lawful permanent
residents, and eventually citizens, of the United States
6/2/2016Law Office of Prashant Ajmera & Associates
6. EB-5: Overview
• The Immigration and Nationality Act allocates 10,000 EB-5 immigrant visas
per year to qualified individuals seeking Permanent Resident status on the
basis of their capital investment in a commercial enterprise
• EB-5 has a capital investment threshold and job creation requirement which
needs to be fulfilled to acquire a Green Card
6/2/2016Law Office of Prashant Ajmera & Associates
7. Benefits of EB-5 Visa
• Along with the investor, his/her spouse and unmarried children below the
age of 21 years are also granted dependent immigrant visas
• EB-5 permits investors to provide high-quality college and university
education to their children at a minimal cost
• Children are eligible for instate or domestic tuition fee and access to student
loans
6/2/2016Law Office of Prashant Ajmera & Associates
8. Benefits of EB-5 Visa
• As permanent residents, the immigrant investors and their family members
can live and work anywhere in the US and run their own proprietary
businesses
• No language requirements
6/2/2016Law Office of Prashant Ajmera & Associates
9. Requirements for EB-5 Visa
6/2/2016Law Office of Prashant Ajmera & Associates
• Three requirements need to be met to obtain a US Green Card:
Investor needs to invest $1 million or $500,000 in a Targeted Unemployment Area
(TEA) or a rural area
• TEA is an area with an unemployment rate that is at 150% of the national average
• Congress has reserved 3000 out of the 10,000 EB-5 visas for TEA investors.
• Rural area means any area not within either a metropolitan statistical area or the outer
boundary of any city or town having a population of 20,000 or less
10. Requirements for EB-5 Visa
Each EB-5 investor has to demonstrate that their capital investment will
create/preserve at least 10 full-time jobs for qualified U.S. workers within the United
States
• A qualified U.S. worker includes U.S. citizen, a lawful permanent resident, asylee or refugee
• Jobs created for non-immigrant workers and/or members of the EB-5 investor’s family are
not qualifying
• Full-time job requires a qualified employee to be working for a minimum of 35 hours per
week
6/2/2016Law Office of Prashant Ajmera & Associates
11. Requirements for EB-5 Visa
The investor must invest in one of the following for-profit business capital structures:
• A new commercial enterprise created after November 29, 1990; or
• An enterprise which will expand to 140% of pre-investment net worth or number of
employees; or
• A troubled business in which jobs will be preserved
6/2/2016Law Office of Prashant Ajmera & Associates
12. EB-5 Project, Direct Investment, or Regional
Center
• An investor has three options for investment purposes:
• EB5 project; or
• A new venture; or
• Regional center
6/2/2016Law Office of Prashant Ajmera & Associates
13. EB-5 Projects
• EB-5 projects assume many different business models and operate within
many different industries. Types of EB-5 projects include, but are not limited
to:
Mixed use retail
Hotels
Sports stadiums
Restaurants
Casinos
6/2/2016Law Office of Prashant Ajmera & Associates
14. Choosing an EB-5 Project
• Choosing an EB-5 project to invest in is a daunting task
• Since the investor’s permanent residency is dependent on the ability of the
project to create jobs and adhere to USCIS criteria, choosing an EB-5 project
that is viable as a business is perhaps the most important step of the EB-5
process
6/2/2016Law Office of Prashant Ajmera & Associates
15. EB5 Direct Investment
• Investor can start up his or her own “new commercial enterprise” in which
he or she will invest and play a role in management or policy making
• Creation of jobs is the most difficult to prove under this category
• Individual investors must prove direct employment of 10 full-time U.S.
citizen or permanent resident employees
6/2/2016Law Office of Prashant Ajmera & Associates
16. EB5 Direct Investment
• Biggest stumbling block for an individual investor is proving that the investment has
been made in a “new commercial enterprise”
• A "new commercial enterprise" can be created by an individual investor in one of
three ways:
Establishing a brand new business; or
Acquiring an existing business and engaging in significant restructuring or reorganization; or
Expanding an existing business. This option requires the investor to prove not only the
creation of 10 new jobs but also the expansion of either net worth or number of employees
of the business by at least 40%
6/2/2016Law Office of Prashant Ajmera & Associates
17. EB-5 Investment in Regional Center
• What is a regional center?
A regional center is a business entity that co-ordinates foreign investment within that
area in compliance with the EB-5 regulatory framework
Most of the approved regional centers have been approved as "targeted employment
area" investments, thus qualifying for the reduced $500,000 investment requirement
• Why invest in a regional center?
Investment in a regional center allows for a less restrictive job creation requirement
based upon the creation of direct or indirect jobs
6/2/2016Law Office of Prashant Ajmera & Associates
18. Direct v. Indirect Jobs
• Direct jobs
Direct jobs are actual full-time positions created by the business
• Indirect jobs
Indirect jobs are jobs that are ancillary to the project. For example, employees of other
businesses that would be servicing that project/business or construction jobs
The number of indirect jobs created are dependent on the business plan and detailed
economic analysis, which is evaluated and approved by USCIS
6/2/2016Law Office of Prashant Ajmera & Associates
19. Benefits of Opting for Regional Center
• The regional center investment often provides the quickest and most secure
exit strategy
• Most importantly, it is not reliant upon proof of employment of 10 qualified
U.S. workers per EB-5 investor, since projected indirect and induced
employment qualify
6/2/2016Law Office of Prashant Ajmera & Associates
22. Obtaining Green Card through EB-5
• The Law Office of Prashant Ajmera & Associates can help you obtain your
Green Card by providing you the following services:
Guidance and assistance in EB-5 project selection
Form I-526 immigrant petition approval
Application for an immigrant visa either through adjustment of status (Form I-485) in
the United States with USCIS, or through application for immigrant visa (Form DS-
230) with the Department of State (DOS)
6/2/2016Law Office of Prashant Ajmera & Associates
23. Obtaining Green Card through EB-5
Upon approval of the Form I-485 or admission on an EB-5 immigrant visa, grant of
conditional Green Card
Form I-829 petition to remove condition on the Green Card which must be filed at the
end of two year conditional period
6/2/2016Law Office of Prashant Ajmera & Associates
24. Problems with EB-5 Petition
• An individual EB-5 petition requires proof of “full-time employment” of
ten U.S. worker
• Requisite employment does not have to have be created at the time of
approval of the I-526 petition
• However, there is great difficulty in getting individual EB-5 petitions
approved based upon business plans showing that the requisite employment
will be created within the two year period before the necessity of filing a
condition removal petition.
6/2/2016Law Office of Prashant Ajmera & Associates
25. How can Ajmera Law help?
• In order for the investor to have conditions removed after the end of the two year
conditional period, USCIS will have to be satisfied that the direct or indirect
employment creation has actually taken place
• Hence, the choice of regional center is a very critical element of an EB-5 petition
• Ajmera law can help you choose a regional center with a track record of
employment creation, thus enhancing the likelihood that the investor will be able to
remove conditions, and become a non-conditional permanent resident
6/2/2016Law Office of Prashant Ajmera & Associates
26. How can Ajmera Law help?
• Our law firm scrutinizes how job creation in the Regional Center project file
is documented and calculated
• We analyze the economic models of job creation methodologies utilized for
determining indirect job creation
• We help our clients choose a regional center with a track record of
employment creation thus enhancing the likelihood that you will, in fact, be
able to remove conditions, and become a non-conditional permanent
resident
6/2/2016Law Office of Prashant Ajmera & Associates
27. How can Ajmera Law help?
• The requirements for the investor to prove the lawful source of his or her
investment funds is the same for individual and regional center EB-5
petitions
• In both cases, the documentation requirements are extensive
• Our law firm assists you to meet the compliance requirements of an EB-5
petition and helps you with the documentation of the source of funds
