EB-5 Visa Attorney in Chicago — Immigrant Investor Program

The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program provides foreign nationals with a path to U.S. permanent residence through qualifying investments in American businesses that create jobs. Our EB-5 visa attorneys at Liberum Law in Chicago provide end-to-end representation from investment structuring through conditional residence removal.

EB-5 program requirements include a minimum investment of $1,050,000 in a new commercial enterprise (or $800,000 in a Targeted Employment Area), creation of at least 10 full-time positions for qualifying U.S. workers, the investment must be at risk — guaranteed returns or debt arrangements are not permitted, and the investor must demonstrate that the investment funds were obtained through lawful means.

The EB-5 process involves several stages: I-526E petition filing with USCIS, approval and adjustment of status or consular processing to obtain conditional permanent residence, two-year conditional residence period during which the investment must be maintained, and I-829 petition to remove conditions on permanent residence after demonstrating that the investment was sustained and jobs were created.

Our EB-5 practice includes due diligence on regional center and direct investment opportunities, comprehensive source of funds analysis and documentation, I-526E petition preparation, I-829 conditional residence removal, and coordination with immigration counsel in the investor’s home country.

The EB-5 program has specific complexities, including retrogression in certain countries, regional center integrity reviews, and evolving USCIS adjudication standards. Our attorneys stay current on all developments to provide accurate and strategic advice.
