White House Approves Updated EB-5 Investor Visa Fee Changes
The EB-5 program lets people from other countries get a green card (allowing them to live and work in the U.S.) if they invest money in businesses that create jobs here.
The government has approved new fees for this program.
To get the visa, investors must invest either $800,000 or $1,050,000, depending on where the investment goes, and create jobs for American workers.
Applying for the visa involves filing forms and the process can lead to permanent residency and eventually, citizenship.
The program is authorized until 2027.
This program allows investors to bring their families and, if they follow all the rules, eventually become citizens.
The White House has approved updated fees for the EB-5 investor visa program.
Foreign investors use the EB-5 program as a pathway to a U.S. green card.
Investors must invest either $800,000 or $1,050,000 and create jobs.
The total cost for the visa ranges from $21,130 to $22,225.
The EB-5 program is authorized until September 30, 2027.
