The EB-5 visa program, established by U.S. Congress in 1990, allows foreign nationals to obtain a green card by investing at least $1 million and creating or employing at least 10 full-time workers in a for-profit business in the United States. Designed to stimulate the economy and reduce unemployment, the program involves foreign clients working with investment firms like U.S. Advisors, led by Kevin Fitzgerald. The program emphasizes the requirement that investments be made in a commercial enterprise.

least 10 full-time people, not including the
investor or their immediate family.
