The EB5 Visa is the US immigrant investor program that grants successful applicants green cards. It allows foreigners who want to invest in enterprises in the United States to become permanent residents. It’s the fifth preference of US employment-based visas.

This visa aims to not encourage foreign investments alone but also boost the US economy. It also aims to foster the development of rural areas in the United States. This visa program was created in 1990 by the US Congress, with an annual numeric cap of 10,000 visas.

There are 4 different tiers of EB5 visas:

• C5 visa: this tier is for investments outside target areas
• T5 visa: this tier is for investments in areas with a high unemployment rate
• R5 visa: this tier is for Investor Pilot Program participants not engaged in target areas
• I5 visa: this tier is for Investor Pilot Program participants
