The EB-5 Program allows foreign investors to obtain immigration benefits for having made an investment. The EB-5 Program calls for a minimum investment of $1,000,000 USD. This sum may be reduced currently to $500,000 USD if the enterprise that receives the investment is situated in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA).
Imperial Valley is a TEA. To qualify as an EB-5 investor, each investor must demonstrate that 10 full-time, year-round jobs will be created on account of the investment.
