Investment Options & Opportunities
Until recently, the majority of EB-5 investments were channeled into urban centers, concentrating on the most prosperous hubs of major cities while neglecting peripheral areas.
But May 2022 marked the beginning of a shift toward projects in underdeveloped regions. This change has led to reduced minimum investments, as well as priority visa processing.
The 2 qualifying types of investment projects are as follows:
Rural Development Areas
Rural projects focus on advancing infrastructure and job creation in areas outside of metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs).
Targeted away from urban centers, toward areas with smaller populations, these projects offer social and economic benefits to communities and investors alike.
Investment Requirements
For regular, non-TEA projects, the minimum EB-5 investment amount is $1,050,000, and investors are eligible for standard visa processing.
Investing in a rural TEA project, however, requires a lower minimum investment of $800,000 and qualifies for priority processing—with 2,000 visas set-aside annually!
That’s twice the number of set-aside visas available for sought-after urban TEA areas. It’s an incredible opportunity—and it’s why the Liberty EB-5 strategy now concentrates on rural development projects.
With twice as many EB-5 visas set aside for priority processing, investors can make the minimum investment of $800,000 and obtain their green card in approximately *18 to 24 months.
