The United States Government has sought to promote investment by offering the “EB-5” program as a means for foreign nationals to acquire permanent residency in the U.S. This visa covers individuals who invest $1,000,000 (or $500,000 if the area of investment is demonstrated to be a TEA, or targeted employment area) in a new commercial enterprise that employs at least 10 USCs or LPR workers on a full-time basis. Investors are initially given conditional permanent residency, and at the conclusion of a two-year period, when they show that they have met the basic requirements for such an investment, they are granted a full ten-year green card.
Investors have the option of either actively managing the business through day-to-day management and policy formulation or obtaining their green cards through passive investment in a Regional Center, which pools resources and invests funds in varied industries such as real estate, hospitality, educational services, health care, manufacturing, and retail trade. With the recent 3-year re-authorization of the Regional Center Pilot Program, investors have been given another opportunity to continue benefiting from the expertise of these centers. Where an investor chooses to actively manage a business, the underlying commercial enterprise can be set up through a broad spectrum of business entities, including a limited partnership, holding company, and wholly-owned subsidiaries of such entities. The entity must be for-profit. The investor must demonstrate that the funds have been placed at risk, that the source of funds is legitimate, and that the required 10 jobs will be created during a two-year conditional residency period granted to the investor. Kriezelman Burton and Associates has successfully represented investors in the EB-5 program based on ongoing and new investments.

I am grateful for the quick responses I received via email and phone…
Really grateful for Kevin Raica and Aleksandra Jelonkowska's help in our case of applying for parental citizenship. We are super fortunate that both of my parents received their green card literally within six months of application, and we are convinced that Kevin's team meticulous preparation is a critical element to the positive outcome. I rarely give recommendations but totally recommend Kriezelman Burton to those needing immigration legal services!
