EB-5 still stands out as one of the few immigration pathways that benefits immigrants and
American workers
The public sector has not been spared either: nearly 150,000 federal employees have resigned or been laid off, according to media. As industries prioritize AI efficiencies, hiring freezes, and restructuring, uncertainty continues to mount. Added to this are tariff-induced economic slowdowns, fueling fears of a deeper recession.
Against this backdrop, creating new opportunities for U. S. workers is imperative, not only to preserve livelihoods but also to ensure the stability of families and communities.
WHY EB-5 MATTERS NOW The EB-5 visa program was designed precisely for moments like this. Established in 1990, EB-5 allows foreign investors to obtain permanent residency by investing in U. S. businesses that create at least ten full-time jobs for American workers. Unlike other immigration programs, EB-5 requires no taxpayer funding. Instead, it channels global capital directly into projects that generate sustainable employment.
