Question:

Unlike the E-2 treaty investor visa, the EB-5 visa does not have a list of approved countries. We have assisted and represented clients from Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and South America. One issue you may need to consider is the availability of visas for investors from your particular country, as there are some numerical limits on visas issued to investors from certain countries.

No country is excluded from the EB5 program. Investors from some countries will have to address OFAC ( Office of the Foreign Assets Control ) regulations and policies regarding sources of personal funds and transfers from one country’s bank account to another bank account in another country such as the U.S.
