As recent news articles have indicated, the number of applicants for EB-5 has steadily increased. EB-5 applicants can choose to invest in his or own own business or choose to invest in a regional center that has been approved by USCIS. The general requirement is to invest at least 1 million. However, the required amount is cut into half if the investment is in a rural area or a targeted employment area (TEA) where the unemployment rate is 150% of the national rate. One common misconception is that EB-5 applicants only need to invest $500,000 in regional centers. The reality is that only when a regional center is located in a rural area or a TEA can the required amount be lower from 1 million to $500,000.
In the next few posts, some common questions regarding EB-5 and green card in general will be addressed. Stay tuned!

最近不少新聞報導提到EB-5的申請人數目穩步上揚。 EB-5能選擇投資在自己的生意或已經得到移民局批准的區域中心。 一般來說，EB-5的投資款項不能低於一百萬美元。 然而，如果EB-5申請人的投資項目位於人口稀少或失業率為全國失業率150%的地方(TEA)，那麼投資下限會調低到五十萬美元。 很多人誤以為區域中心的投資下限也是五十萬美元，但實際上只有位於人口稀少或TEA的區域中心才是這樣。 在之後的幾篇網誌，我們會探討一些關於EB-5和綠卡的常見問題。 請大家密切留意!
