What Is An EB-5 Visa?

Millions of people each year apply for a visa so that they can immigrate to the United States. Some are fleeing oppression or violence, some seek religious freedom, and some want to immigrate to a better business climate and more opportunity. The important thing is to immigrate legally, although it is not always easy. One program for immigrants that is beneficial to everyone is the Employment Based 5th Preference Visa, otherwise known as the EB-5 Visa.
