The EB-5 Visa Program
This is a Federal scheme, offering permanent residency to citizens from outside the US in return for their investment in much needed job creation schemes. It has been running since 1990, and is for many people the only realistic opportunity they have to gain a Green Card.
For foreign investors looking for freedom and flexibility to live, work or retire in the United States, in a way accommodating to their lifestyles, the EB-5 Visa investor category can provide an excellent opportunity to accomplish this goal by obtaining Green Cards.
A Green Card provides Permanent Residency for the applicant, his or her spouse and any offspring under the age of 21.
Emigrating to the United States via the EB-5 Visa allows you and your family to live, work or retire anywhere within the United States.
EB5 Investment in Vermont
The Only USCIS Designated Regional Center In The United States Owned, Controlled And Supervised Directly By State Government
The entire State of Vermont has been a Designated Regional Center since 1997, one of the longest established Regional Centers and is the Only USCIS Designated Regional Center in the United States Owned, Controlled And Supervised Directly by State Government.
The Vermont Agency of Commerce operates the Vermont Regional Center. This means that any approved EB-5 project located in Vermont benefits from official oversight, providing added confidence.
Why EB-5 Investors Choose Vermont?
- State Oversight - The Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development supervises, oversees and administers the Vermont EB-5 projects for compliance with USCIS EB-5 regulations.
- Reviews - State officials visit the EB-5 projects on an almost monthly basis to monitor not only the progress of development but also to provide any kind of help and support at both State and Federal level that an EB-5 project may need to further implement the program.
- Pre-approval of projects - The State must review and approve each and every EB-5 Project to utilize the State Regional Center designation. Upon State approval of each EB-5 Project, the State requires the Promoter to enter into a “Memorandum of Understanding” with the State which imposes strict duties and obligations upon the Promoter.
- Credibility - The State also benefits at Federal level in the US Senate, with Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont having a keen interest in the EB-5 program and related USCIS regulations, being enthusiastically supportive of the State’s EB-5 Projects.
