The Trump administration’s shifting policies on immigration and a variety of other concerns have prompted some to wonder what will become of EB-5.
The EB-5 program was created in 1990 to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors. The program allows foreign investors and their wives and unmarried children under 21 to obtain a green card and eventually become U.S. citizens in exchange for a $500,000 or $1 million investment in a commercial enterprise creating at least 10 jobs.
