With the current uncertain USA visa conditions, many Indians, who are planning to settle in the United States, have some good news with the EB-5 Visa, which is faster and has a much higher success rate. Traditional Visa options like the H-1B to Green Card or family-sponsored visas often take over a decade because of country-wise limits and high demand.
The EB-5 visa is an investment-based immigration program. Foreign nationals can get a Green Card by investing in businesses that create jobs in the US. The program has two main investment models:
Option | Investment Amount | Key Feature |
Regional Center Investment | $800,000 (in rural/high-unemployment areas) | Most popular option; projects are pre-approved, easier to meet job-creation rules |
Direct Investment | $1.05 million | An investor runs/controls a business directly and takes responsibility for job creation. |
Unlike employment or family visas, EB-5 offers faster processing and fewer backlogs for Indians right now. Here are the key advantages:
Route | Waiting Time | Predictability | Main Challenge |
H-1B → Green Card | 15–24 years | Low depends on lottery & per-country limits | Uncertainty, long delays |
Family-based Visa | 10–20 years (sometimes more) | Low–capped and oversubscribed | Very long queues |
EB-5 Visa | Much shorter (currently no backlog for Indians) | High–investment levels fixed till 2027 | High investment cost, financial risks |
Reserved Categories: Priority for rural, high-unemployment, and infrastructure projects, reducing the chances.
Locked Investment Amounts: $800,000 or $1.05 million until 2027.
Simultaneous Filing: Applicants already in the US can file for work and travel permits within months while their Green Card is processed.
Tighter monitoring of Regional Centers to reduce fraud.
If this option is taken as a green card and an option to settle in the USA, the chances are very high. But, like any investment, EB-5 comes with risks. Returns are usually low, and investors should focus on the Green Card benefit.
Bigger investments are involved; the EB-5 Visa is not for everyone. But people looking exclusively for the Green Card can get the benefit with a fast and secure method.
For Indians with the required financial capacity, EB-5 provides:
A faster path to permanent residency in the USA
Security for the family, as dependents are included.
