EB-5 Rural Program

Introduction to EB-5 Program

In 1990 the United States Congress created a permanent residence category for investors who invest in a commercial enterprise that will benefit the United States economy and create at least ten full-time jobs.

The United States immigrant investor program is called the EB-5 program which is short for Employment-Based 5th Preference.

Success for immigrant investors in this program results in a permanent United States visa (Green card for themselves and qualified family members under the age of 21 at the time of filing the initial petition).

EB-5 Rural Investment Program

An EB-5 Rural Area Targeted Employment Area (TEA) project is an investment made in locations outside of a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) having a permanent population of less than 20,000 people. The EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act (RIA), passed by the United States Congress in 2022, provides significant incentives to investors making investments in “rural areas”.

Benefits of EB-5 Rural Investment Program

Investing in an EB-5 Rural Area TEA project is particularly beneficial for foreign investors applying from countries with significant visa backlog such as China and India. Investors in Rural EB5 TEA Projects are additionally reserved 20% of the total EB-5 Visas allocated annually. Investors in EB5 TEA Projects enjoy the lower minimum investment requirement of only $800,000 as opposed to the $1,050,000 investment for non-TEA projects.
