Dallas immigration attorney consulting with a client about an EB-5 investor visa

EB-5 Investor Visa Lawyer in Dallas

The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program grants conditional, then permanent, U.S. residency to investors who make a qualifying capital investment in a U.S. commercial enterprise that creates the required number of jobs.

Who Is the EB-5 Visa For?

→ Investors able to commit the statutory minimum investment ($800,000 in a Targeted Employment Area, or $1,050,000 elsewhere)
→ Individuals whose investment will create or preserve at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers within two years
→ Investors willing to place capital at risk in a new commercial enterprise, including qualifying Regional Center projects

Who Qualifies

The invested funds must be lawfully obtained and placed genuinely at risk, and the enterprise must be a for-profit new commercial enterprise established or restructured after November 1990. Job creation can be direct, or indirect/induced when investing through a designated Regional Center.

How to Apply

Investors file Form I-526E (Regional Center) or I-526 (direct investment) to establish eligibility, then Form I-485 or immigrant visa processing for conditional residency, followed by Form I-829 roughly two years later to remove conditions.

Our Application Process
