Benefits of the EB-5 Visa Program
Unrestricted employment opportunities
As a U.S. green card holder, you are free to work for any employer, in any industry, anywhere in the United States — with no restrictions on the type of work, number of employers, or field of employment.
One of the fastest ways to obtain a U.S. Green Card
With set-aside visa categories, qualified investors can obtain conditional green cards faster than other employment-based categories.
Path to U.S. citizenship
After holding conditional permanent residency for two years, EB-5 investors can apply to remove conditions. Five years after obtaining permanent residency, investors become eligible for full U.S. citizenship — with all rights and privileges.
Access to world-class education at lower tuition
Green card holders enjoy in-state tuition rates at public universities, access to federal financial aid, and admission advantages at top institutions — from state schools to Ivy League universities.
Free K-12 education
All children of EB-5 investors have access to the United States' public school system at no cost. This includes some of the world's highest-ranked primary and secondary schools, setting your children up for lifelong success.
Bypass the H-1B visa lottery
The EB-5 program operates entirely outside of the H-1B visa lottery system. Your path to permanent residency is based on your investment meeting program requirements — not random chance or employer sponsorship.
Freedom from employment sponsorship
Unlike H-1B or other work visas, the EB-5 green card is not tied to any employer. You are free to work for any company, start your own business, retire, or pursue any career path of your choosing.
Live & work in the United States while awaiting a Green Card
Investors who qualify for concurrent filing can adjust status and live in the U.S. while their I-526E petition is pending. This allows families with valid underlying visas to remain in the U.S. before formal approval.
Visa-free access to Canada and Mexico
U.S. permanent residents enjoy simplified travel to neighboring Canada and Mexico, providing additional freedom of movement across North America for you and your entire family.
Secured debt investment with target repayment
Golden Gate Global partners with leading real estate and hospitality developers to offer secured EB-5 loans for real estate projects.
