Foreign Investors

Socorro Law Group has developed a specialized practice group dedicated to serving the unique needs of high-net-worth foreign entrepreneurs and investors. We provide comprehensive planning, management, and filing of EB-5 immigrant investor petitions.

The EB-5 program allows investors and their qualifying family members to obtain permanent residency by investing in U.S. commercial enterprises and creating or preserving at least 10 U.S. jobs. To promote investment, Congress allocates 3,000 visas annually for individuals who invest through designated regional centers—private or governmental entities certified under specific regulatory criteria.
