Investment & Project Finance > EB5 Investment Program

EB 5 Investment Program

Our mission is to connect foreign investors to high-impact, job-creating projects in underserved and rural areas - offering a path to permanent U.S. residency through EB-5 investment, while fostering infrastructure, manufacturing, and economic vitality.

The EB‑5 Solution

The EB‑5 Immigrant Investor Program allows qualified foreign investors to obtain conditional green cards (and a path to permanent residency) by investing in U.S. business projects that create or preserve jobs.

With Pine State Regional Center, these investments are pooled into projects, which enables counting not just direct but also indirect & induced jobs, making meeting job creation requirements more feasible.

Why Choose the EB-5 Program?

Benefits

  • No language, minimum education, or sponsor requirements
    With qualifying investments, investors may limit their investment to $800,000.
  • Investors may live and work anywhere in the United States after receiving the conditional green card for the investment.
  • No business or management experience required; professionals manage the investments.
  • If the foreign investor invests in a Regional Center-sponsored project approved by USCIS, both direct, indirect, and induced jobs may be used to satisfy the job creation requirements, giving additional security to the investor.

Ideal Investor

  • Foreign nationals seeking lawful permanent residence in the U.S., either for themselves, spouse, and unmarried children under 21, via a credible EB‑5 investment route. 
  • Investors interested in lower risk through well‑structured, regionally backed projects - with clear job creation, economic impact, and oversight. Pine State works with established developers and public/private partnerships. 

Local Insight, Global Impact

Why Choose Us

Pine State is a leading regional center with over 10 years experience investing in high-impact, rural manufacturing projects.

How We Help Investors

  • Project evaluation and underwriting: assessing whether projects satisfy job creation, location (TEA / rural), developer credentials, financial viability.
  • Structuring of investment and financing: establishing the deal structure, capital stack, co-financing, ensuring clear paths for investor capital and returns and compliance with USCIS requirements.

Our Investment Priorities

Manufacturing and Infrastructure

Pine State invests in projects that strengthen the backbone of communities - modernizing infrastructure and boosting manufacturing capacity to deliver long-term economic growth.

Rural Targeted Employment Areas

We prioritize investments in TEAs and rural or high unemployment areas, where the impact of capital is magnified and investor thresholds for investment are reduced.

Job Creation

Every EB-5 investment must result in at least 10 full-time jobs per investor (direct or indirect), supporting U.S. workers and ensuring your investment has real, measurable outcomes.

Eligibility & Investment Requirements

Investment Thresholds

If you invest in a targeted employment area (TEA) the investment is $800,000, and if you invest elsewhere the minimum required investment is $1,050,000.

Integrity Reforms

Among other integrity reforms, the RIA demands that regional centers only have “good faith” actors involved, that regional centers are regularly audited, and that project exemplars be filed before investors can submit their petitions. This will bring more protection and transparency.

Priority Processing

The RIA mandates that investors in rural TEA projects must be given prioritized processing over investors in non-rural projects.

Visa Set-Asides

A certain portion of the annually available EB-5 visas must be set aside for rural projects (20%), high unemployment areas (10%) and infrastructure areas (2%). Moreover, unused set-aside visas carry over to add to reserves for the next year. This may be very advantageous for investors from certain countries facing potential retrogression.

Concurrent Filing

Importantly for investors already living within the United States, the RIA allows the concurrent filing of adjustment of status applications with I-526E petitions (avoiding consular visa processing).
