The direct EB-5 program allows applicants for a green card to invest directly as an equity partner into a business which in turn must create 10 full time jobs. Given the revamping and recent governmental pause of the Regional Center program in recent years, investors have turned to the Direct option due to its availability and as a result, it's grown exponentially in popularity since its introduction in 1990. Webinar attendees will learn about requirements, legal adjudication trends, and structuring opportunities in these immigrant visa categories. Attendees will also learn how franchise businesses can qualify for investment under the direct EB-5.
