There are generally two types of investment visas, one is non-immigrant investment visas, and immigrant investment visas. Non-immigrant investment visas are such as E-1 Treaty Trader and E-2 Treaty Investor. EB-5 is a kind of immigrant investment visa.

EB-5: Green Card Through Investment
Foreign citizens/entrepreneurs and their spouses and unmarried children under 21 can obtain permanent resident status (Green Card) through investment, and they can ultimately be naturalized and become U.S. Citizens. To qualify they must make an investment in a commercial enterprise in the United States, and such investment need to be able to create or preserve ten permanent full-time jobs for qualified U.S. workers. Up to 10,000 visas may be authorized each year for eligible applicants. This type of immigrant investor program is known as EB-5.

The investment amount is at least $1,000,000 in a new commercial enterprise, or $500,000 minimum in a targeted employment area. The initial green card is conditional, investors can petition to remove the condition after 2 years. More…
