India to reach the quota of EB-5 Visas for the first time

India is all set to reach its allocation of the EB-5 Visas for the first time this month as per the experts in the US Immigration industry. It is exceeding its yearly cap of EB-5 and will soon face retrogression for FY 2019-20.

The US EB-5 Visas offer Green Cards to overseas investors in return for their investment. These Visas will also soon become out of access for affluent Indians.

An applicant of EB-5 Visa has to make an investment of $500,000 in a business enterprise. This must create a minimum of 10 US jobs, as quoted by the Economic Times. The applicant will be offered US Green Card in roughly 1 to 2 years

Around 10,000 EB-5 Visas are offered annually by the US and have a cap of 700 Visas or 7.1% per nation. Meanwhile, service providers for EB-5 Visas claim that 30 to 40% of Indians are making the transition from L-1 and H-1B Visas to EB-5.

A bill is pending for Vote in the US Congress seeking to increase the minimum investment limit for the EB-5 to $925,000. This program is a good option for affluent individuals who seek to reduce immigration processing by 1/6th compared to EB-2 or H-1B routes.

The rate of rejection for L-1 and H-1B Visas has increased in the past few years. These Visa routes are at present the toughest to be obtained whereas the EB-5 is easier to be acquired comparatively. However, even the cap for EB-5 will be reached this month in June 2019.
