EB-5 Opportunities in Miami Real Estate

Some Miami real-estate developments are associated with EB-5 investment offerings that may provide qualifying foreign investors with a pathway to U.S. permanent residence through the federal EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. EB-5 is administered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and is based on a qualifying investment in a new commercial enterprise that satisfies applicable program requirements, including job creation.

Important: purchasing a condo or residence in a development is not, by itself, an EB-5 investment. The real-estate purchase and the EB-5 investment offering are separate transactions unless the applicable offering documents specifically establish otherwise. Investors should review the structure with qualified immigration, securities, tax and other professional advisors.

Current USCIS framework (reference only)

As of the most recently published USCIS guidance, the general minimum EB-5 investment is $1,050,000, or $800,000 for a qualifying targeted employment area (TEA) or infrastructure project. These amounts are subject to statutory adjustment, so always verify the current figure directly with USCIS or qualified immigration counsel — do not treat the amount above as permanently fixed.

For regional-center investments, the regional center must file Form I-956F for the particular investment offering before a related investor files Form I-526E. USCIS approval of a project filing can be relevant to later investor adjudications, but it does not eliminate investor-specific requirements or guarantee petition approval, visa availability, conditional permanent residence, or removal of conditions.
