Guzmán: Demand for EB5 visas is rising; policy is evolving.
The CEO of Open EB5 discusses the findings of a new report from Invest In the USA.
Recently, IIUSA (Invest In the USA) released a report confirming what many of us have been observing for months: Fiscal Year 2024 was one of the most impactful years in the history of the EB-5 Program.
According to the report: A record 12,055 Unreserved EB-5 visas were issued through consular processing.
For the first time since the passage of the Reform and Integrity Act (RIA), Reserved EB-5 visas were successfully issued — a concrete step toward activating these new categories.
The U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou processed 8,079 visas (67% of the global total), while Ho Chi Minh City issued over 1,450, including several under the High Unemployment Area category.
This isn’t just about numbers.
It’s about a shift in the global conversation. Demand is rising. Policy is evolving. And for those who approach this path with proper strategy and preparation, results are happening.
What is an EB-5 Visa?
What is the EB-5 Program?
The EB-5 program provides a pathway to become lawful permanent residents by investing $800,000 or more in a qualifying project. The EB-5 program is not only a job-creation program for the United States, but an immigration opportunity for you and your family. Your investment will be used to finance a development project in the United States that will result in the creation of jobs for a minimum of 10 U.S. workers, often in rural or low-employment areas. So not only does your family benefit with a new life in the United States, but other American families and the U.S. economy benefit as well.
