What is EB-5 for international students?
The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program gives eligible foreign nationals a path to a U.S. green card through a qualifying investment in a U.S. commercial enterprise. For international students graduating in the USA, EB-5 gives a path to permanent residence without employer sponsorship or the H-1B lottery. See the International Student Playbook for a full guide.
What is the EB-5 Investor Visa Program?
Congress created the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program in 1990. A qualifying investment can support a green card for the investor, a spouse, and unmarried children under 21. Many international students use EB-5 when they face immigration deadlines or uncertainty.
