Job creation requirements: indirect job creation vs. direct job creation
The U.S. investor visa (EB-5) is overseen by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) under the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. An EB-5 visa is an employment-based fifth preference visa.
To obtain a U.S. investor visa, a foreign entrepreneur or investor must meet specific requirements, such as investing $800,000 or $1.05 million (depending upon location) into a U.S. business.
Additionally, the EB-5 investment must preserve or create a minimum of 10 full-time positions for workers in the United States who qualify. This creation, or preservation, of jobs must occur before the investor files their I-526, or it must be proven, via a business plan, that the jobs will be created within the investor's two year conditional permanent residency period. The jobs must be maintained throughout the two year conditional permanent residency period, until the filing of the I-829 to remove conditions.
