Building a Future for Your Family Through EB-5
For many investors, the decision to pursue EB-5 is about more than immigration it’s about creating opportunities for the people who matter most.
The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program may allow eligible investors to include qualifying family members in the immigration process, opening doors to education, career growth, and long-term planning in the United States.
Who Can Be Included in an EB-5 Application?
One of the most attractive aspects of the EB-5 program is that it may allow eligible investors to include certain qualifying family members as part of the immigration process.
In general, an EB-5 application may include:
- The principal investor
- The investor’s spouse
- The investor’s qualifying unmarried children (subject to applicable immigration laws)
Eligibility depends on individual circumstances and current immigration regulations. Families should consult with an experienced immigration attorney regarding their specific situation.
