USA Investment & Green Card - South Africa

20/02/2019

We are pleased to announce that the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program has now been extended to September 30, 2019, with the minimum required investment amount remaining at $500,000. The legislation extending the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program was attached to the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019, a continuing resolution for funding the U.S. government through September 30, 2019.

Concerns regarding the reform of the EB-5 program remain in place. Congressional leaders and USCIS has for the past couple of years been discussion the implementation of various reforms to the program, including increasing the minimum required investment amount to $1.35 million, re-designation of TEA areas and increases in government fees. The latest 7 month extension, which is a relatively long period by recent standards, is aimed at giving law makers and various rule makers enough time to secure a legislative solution to the proposed to the EB-5 Program.

We would therefore recommend that if you are considering applying for the EB-5 program, it would be wise to start the process of planning and making arrangements to free up the capital in order to invest by the 30 September deadline. All applications filed before this date will not be affected by any future legislative changes.

THE EASE IN EB-5

The EB-5 Regional Center Program sets aside 10,000 Green cards each year for foreigners who fund designated regional centers. In addition, the Regional Center Program is one of the most flexible immigrant initiatives in the world. Its attributes include:

No English exam.
No minimum education requirement.
No specific employment or management experience requirement.
No quota backlogs (there are multi-year backlogs for many employment and family-based green card categories, but there is no quota backlog for the EB-5 category).
No sponsor needed (foreign individuals use their own personal funds and do not require sponsorship from either an employer or a family member).
Funding can come from a gift, inheritance, business ownership or any other lawful activity.
Individuals are not required to manage a business on a daily basis, enabling them to pursue other professional and personal ventures.

St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands

Year-round tropical weather, stunning ocean and golf course vistas, and an array of natural beauty make St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands an ideal real estate development location. Gold Coast Florida Regional Center soon will begin offering an exclusive St. Thomas EB-5 opportunity though an affiliate Virgin Islands regional center.

Atop a hill, approximately 500 feet above sea level, the regional center’s 3.167-acre property on the north side of the island features picturesque views of the Atlantic Ocean and neighboring Mahogany Run Golf Course. Zoned for a wide variety of uses, from condominiums and apartments, to restaurants and nightclubs, the property has tremendous potential to differentiate it from existing St. Thomas developments.

AN INTRODUCTION TO EB-5

The United States federal government created the EB-5 Program (also known as the Employment Creation Immigrant Visa or Immigrant Investor Program) in 1990 as a tool to promote foreign funding and economic growth in the U.S.

The program helps create jobs for American workers while affording eligible foreigners the opportunity to become permanent U.S. residents. The program is one of the most flexible immigration programs in the world. In October 2012, the EB-5 pilot program was extended for three years, until September 30, 2016. At that time, it may be further extended or potentially expire.

The EB-5 program is a sterling example of America’s progressive approach for inviting foreign citizens to live and work in the United States. It gives smart, driven individuals such as you an opportunity to focus efforts on projects that enhance U.S. communities while also enriching your own life. By investing in an approved EB-5 project through a designated regional center such as Gold Coast Florida Regional Center, you and your immediate family receive U.S. resident status automatically.
