How can virtual U.S.-based full time employees count towards EB-5 job requirements? I have a direct EB-5 business plan ready. We want to hire full time U.S. employees, but they want to work from their homes throughout the United States. Can remote workers still be counted under EB-5 job quota requirements? If a worker were to travel outside the United States and work from her laptop in another country, would she still count towards EB-5 job creation requirements? How frequently are employees in EB-5-created jobs allowed to work outside the United States?

The required employees have to have a close geographical connection to the location of the job creating entity. If the jobs are located in another state or country these jobs may not be able to be counted.

In a Regional Center EB-5 project the economist can show the required jobs include indirect employment creation. However the indirect employment creation has to have a reasonable close geographical location with the location of the job creating entity.
