To the Treasury, I would assume.
EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program
USCIS administers the EB-5 Program. Under this program, entrepreneurs (and their spouses and unmarried children under 21) are eligible to apply for a green card (permanent residence) if they:
Make the necessary investment in a commercial enterprise in the United States; and
Plan to create or preserve 10 permanent full-time jobs for qualified U.S. workers.
This program is known as EB-5 for the name of the employment-based fifth preference visa that participants receive.
Congress created the EB-5 Program in 1990 to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors. In 1992, Congress created the Immigrant Investor Program, also known as the Regional Center Program. This sets aside EB-5 visas for participants who invest in commercial enterprises associated with regional centers approved by USCIS based on proposals for promoting economic growth.
no.
They’d have to agree not to hire foreigners or just friends.
I don’t like the idea of more and more USA being sold to or controlled by very recent foreigners who have not shown whether loyal to USA or just increasing their own wealth thru being her and doing business. IE ChoBani - hires a lot of foreigners not local Americans. Makes products that are not very healthy in the long run = can lead to illness in many americans who believe advertising and current medical push hype of eat more dairy.
Who gets the half mil?
The US Treasury, I would assume. Who gets the $2 billion when a big company pays a fine?
