If you wish to work and live in the United States of America permanently, the EB-5 visa India might be the ideal option for you. The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa Program for the USA is aimed at allowing Indians to get access to the United States of America and obtain the US Green Card - Permanent Residency - by making a capital investment in a qualifying enterprise.
EB-5 (Employment-Based 5) Visa for the USA is one of the most desirable US immigration investment opportunities in the world. If you are capable of making a capital investment of at least $800,000 USD (in a Targeted Employment Area) or $1,050,000 USD (outside a TEA) in a commercial enterprise in the United States, then you can apply for the EB-5 Visa USA with the help of the leading US business immigration law firm in India.
The EB-5 Visa Program was created by Congress in the United States in 1990. It is also referred to as the Immigration Investor Visa Program and comes with a two-sided approach. In addition to facilitating the economy of the USA by creating ample jobs for the citizens of the country, the EB-5 program allows Indian investors, along with their families, to migrate to the USA with a Green Card. As such, this lucrative program opens pathways to enter the United States of America and eventually to obtain citizenship legally.

Under the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022, 32% of annual EB-5 visas are reserved for three set-aside categories — Rural, High-Unemployment Area, and Infrastructure. These categories currently remain available for Indian investors even while the standard (unreserved) category is backlogged, which is why most Indian EB-5 investors now file in a set-aside category.
Investors who file on or before 30 September 2026 are protected by the program's grandfathering provision, even if the Regional Center program is later changed or lapses. This makes 2026 a time-sensitive window for Indian investors.
Indian investors already in the U.S. may be able to file Form I-485 concurrently with their EB-5 petition. Note that USCIS Policy Memorandum PM-602-0199 (May 2026) raises the discretionary bar for adjustment of status, so the I-485 should be prepared as a thorough legal submission.
