The United States Department of Homeland Security has announced that from November 2019, there will be a rise in the investment amount for the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Programme.
Under the new rules, individuals will need to invest $900,000 in a Targeted Employment Area from the earlier $500,000, and $1.8 million to invest in other parts of the country from the $1 million required earlier. Targeted employment areas are either rural areas or those that have high unemployment. These investments are sought to generate local jobs.
