Individual EB-5 investments

Individuals may wish to apply for an EB-5 green card based on a $500,000 or $1 million investment in their own business (as opposed to a regional center). They need to have an accountant who works closely with immigration counsel to ensure the investment is reported properly on the business and individual’s tax returns.

Individual EB-5 petitions require considerable documentation of the enterprise’s activities and job creation.
