EB-5 Investor ProgramMiami Real Estate
Obtain U.S. permanent residency for you and your entire family by investing $800,000 in qualifying Miami luxury real estate. A direct path to the American Dream — through strategic real estate investment.
What is the EB-5 Program?
The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program is a United States government initiative created by Congress in 1990 to stimulate the U.S. economy through capital investment by foreign nationals. It is administered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Through the EB-5 program, a qualified foreign investor and their immediate family members are eligible to receive a U.S. Green Card — officially known as a Permanent Resident Card — by making a qualifying investment in a job-creating enterprise.
Miami luxury real estate has become one of the most popular EB-5 investment categories, combining the security of prime real estate with a clear immigration pathway. Projects located in Targeted Employment Areas (TEAs) qualify for the reduced $800,000 investment threshold.
Investment Requirements
Advantages of the EB-5 Visa
The EB-5 program offers one of the most straightforward paths to U.S. permanent residency, with benefits that extend to your entire immediate family.
Live & Work Anywhere in the U.S.
Permanent residency grants you the freedom to live, work, and travel throughout all 50 states without visa restrictions.
Entire Family Included
Your spouse and unmarried children under 21 are all included in a single petition — no separate applications required.
No Visa Sponsorship Required
Unlike H-1B or other work visas, the EB-5 program requires no employer sponsorship. You are fully independent.
Path to U.S. Citizenship
Permanent residency is a direct path to U.S. citizenship after 5 years of continuous residence, opening doors to full civic participation.
Education & Employment for Children
Children gain access to U.S. public schools, universities at in-state tuition rates, and the right to work upon turning 18.
Real Estate Investment Return
Your $800,000 investment is placed in a qualifying real estate project. Upon completion of the EB-5 period, capital is returned.
The Application Process
The EB-5 process follows a structured sequence of steps, from initial investment to permanent green card. Here is what to expect.
Prepare I-526 Petition
Your immigration attorney prepares the I-526 Immigrant Petition and reviews the legal source of your investment funds.
Make the Investment
Pay the $70,000 administration fee and invest $800,000 into the qualifying EB-5 project. Capital must come from lawful sources.
USCIS Approval
USCIS reviews and approves your I-526 petition. This grants conditional permanent resident status for you and your immediate family.
Receive Green Card
Upon approval, you and your immediate family (spouse and unmarried children under 21) receive U.S. permanent resident status.
File I-829 Petition
Within 2 years of receiving conditional residency, file Form I-829 to remove conditions and obtain permanent green card status.
Capital Return
After the project's EB-5 period concludes and conditions are removed, your at-risk investment capital is returned.
If Applying from Outside the U.S.
After I-526 approval, you will attend a consulate interview at the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate in your country. Upon approval, you receive an immigrant visa to enter the United States as a conditional permanent resident.
If Already Inside the U.S.
File for Adjustment of Status (Form I-485) after I-526 approval. This also grants Employment Authorization (EAD) and a travel permit (Advance Parole) while your case is pending — allowing you to work and travel freely.
