This is a preference category that is based on employment. It is exclusive for High Net worth Individuals, to obtain the Green Card. It carries the PR benefit also, for self and also for the family members. Moreover, it requires an investment of $500,000, in a fresh business, which has the capacity to create, ten or more jobs, for the local persons. The investment limit can change, subject to the new session taking place. There can be no fresh investment increase when the E.B-5 program is extended in September.
