How much do I need to invest for an EB-5 green card?
The current thresholds are $800,000 for an investment in a Targeted Employment Area and $1,050,000 outside one, and the investment must create or preserve at least ten full-time jobs for U.S. workers. Approval first grants a two-year conditional green card; permanent residence follows approval of Form I-829 at the end of that period. These figures are subject to statutory adjustment, so confirm the amount current at the time you invest.

A TEA is an area designated on the basis of high unemployment or rural status, and investing in one lowers the required capital to the reduced threshold. Whether a specific project sits in a TEA is a documented determination, not a marketing claim, so it should be verified independently of the project's own materials.
