Miller Mayer Llp. Senior Attorney Nicolai Hinrichsen

AN ideal window to acquire the EB-5 visa is being offered by New York-based Lightstone Investments to interested parties in the Philippines.

The EB-5 immigrant visa program provides a means for eligible immigrant investors to become lawful permanent US residents by investing a minimum investment of $500,000 (P25 million) to finance a business in the States that will employ at least 10 American workers in targeted employment areas. The EB-5 (employment-based fifth preference category) was penned by US Congress through the Immigration Act of 1990 to “boost the US economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investor.”
