The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa program—created as part of the Immigration Act of 1990—allocates 10,000 green cards per year to foreigners who invest $1 million (or $500,000 in a targeted employment area) in qualifying U.S. businesses that create or preserve at least 10 jobs. Three thousand green cards are set aside annually for designated “regional centers” as part of the EB-5 Regional Center Pilot Program created by Congress in 1992 with the purpose of concentrating pooled investments in defined economic zones.

About AngelouEconomics
AngelouEconomics works with numerous professional and business associations in building dozens of unique economic impact studies among other types of projects including site selection projects as well as strategic economic development projects. Some projects examine the effects of statewide policy measures, such as the Texas Bathroom Bill or ban on Sanctuary Cities. Other projects measure the contribution of member networks in terms of jobs, wages, and total economic output like this study for Prospera, a nonprofit organization specializing in providing bilingual assistance to Hispanic entrepreneurs in Florida. Economic impact studies are effective tools for quantifying and illustrating the value of individual professional and business associations. They are versatile, as they can illustrate the value or impact of a specific policy or quantify the economic contribution of your members to the local, regional, and nationwide economies. We also know entrepreneurship inside-out. We achieved our own entrepreneurial success by forming the International Accelerator (IA). Our program attracts over 1,500 applicants from around the world and selects 10-12 startups each year to fund and accelerate their growth in the US market.
