EB-5 is a regional center qualified to facilitate immigration visa programs for investors. We connect immigrants with major investment projects, helping them qualify for priority visa processing to get their green cards. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recently stated that EB-5 applicants can anticipate priority processing in under 120 days or standard processing within 240 days. While these timelines would be ideal, we’ve found that they are not as realistic in practice.

At EB-5, it has been our experience that EB-5 visa processing typically takes under a year for priority and two years for standard. Our team is thoroughly experienced in the EB-5 visa application process; we’ll do whatever it takes to expedite the process for you and your family, while still providing you with realistic expectations and practical guidelines.

Whether you invest in an urban or rural project,EB5 VISAS EB-5 will be working with you every step of the way. Our regional center was founded by an immigrant and is currently operated by a team of immigrants. We invest our own capital in each client project because we understand your story. Your success is our success. Let’s work together to make your American dream a reality!

Target Employment Areas (TEA): TEAs are characterized by an unemployment rate of at least 1.5 times the national average within one census tract. In other words, these areas are primary targets for investors because they are in need of greater employment opportunities.

For regular urban projects, the minimum investment amount is $1,050,000 and investors can only receive standard visa processing. If you invest in either a rural project or an urban TEA area, the minimum investment amount is $800,000 and you qualify for priority processing.
Urban TEA areas are a hot commodity; with only 1,000 EB-5 visas available annually, these projects fill up quickly. That’s whyEB5 VISAS EB-5 is focusing on rural development projects. With twice as many EB-5 visas set aside for priority processing, you can make the minimum investment of $800,000 and receive your green cards within a year.

At the moment, our main rural projects are based in Fredricksburg, a profitable development area located just outside Austin and San Antonio. Contact us to learn more about our rural development projects, or fill out an application form today to get started!
