Invest To Get Permanent Residency In The USA

Filipinos looking for permanent residency options should consider applying for an EB-5 USA visa. This visa is primarily favored by those who can invest a minimum of $800,000 in Targeted Employment Areas (TEA), or rural locations and places known with high unemployment. This amount increases if the investor decides to invest outside of a TEA, doubling to over P60 million and higher.

I had talked with Alex Jovy, he was very quick to respond, had a lot of useful information which I was not aware of. Took time out of his day to discuss my situation and was very helpful. They go into a lot of detail which other companies do not. Overall a great service!

We were in a hurry and Verdie and the team were highly responsive and supportive, even when we threw in some curve balls along the way. We had our visas approved without any issues and felt confident and well prepared for document submissions and the interview. I'd certainly recommend this team for an E2 visa process.

Forms

The Official Application Forms I-526 and I-526E

Form I-526, also known as the Immigrant Petition by Alien Investor, is the EB5 application form where applicants can document their fund sources and other legal details.

In July 2022, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services issued a new form called the I-526E, specifically for Regional Center applicants. In both cases, an immigration attorney should be able to help you fill in the details.

Successful applicants receive the EB5 visa once all the paperwork is secured.

Essential details for EB5 investors

EB5 visa holders looking to apply for a permanent residency (Green Card) will need to rely on the success of their investment by creating and preserving at least ten full-time jobs for qualifying U.S. workers within two years of the immigrant investor’s admission to the United States as a Conditional Permanent Resident.

1. Direct jobs are identifiable jobs for qualified employees within the commercial enterprise into which the EB5 investor has directly invested their capital.

2. Indirect jobs are work shown to have been created collaterally or to have been a result of capital invested in a commercial enterprise affiliated with a regional center by an EB5 investor. A foreign investor may only use the indirect job calculation if affiliated with a regional center.

Note that seasonal, transient, or temporary jobs do not qualify as full-time jobs.
