Investment
From $800,000
Invest in a qualifying US business or government-approved EB-5 regional center project.
The minimum investment is currently from $800,000 in targeted employment areas (TEAs), subject to USCIS regulation and periodic changes.
Approximate Timeline
2–5+ years
Long-term US immigration strategy, not a quick visa.
EB-5 petitions (Form I-526E) can take several years to be processed, depending on your country of birth, USCIS workloads, and project category. We map realistic timelines instead of promising shortcuts.
Outcome
Green Card
Potential US green card for you and eligible family members.
Successful EB-5 investors may receive conditional permanent residency, followed by a 10-year green card upon satisfying job creation and other program requirements.
Jaggi Consultants helps you understand the financial, legal and immigration aspects of the program before making any commitment.
The US EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program allows foreign investors to obtain a US green card by making a qualifying investment and creating at least 10 full-time US jobs. It is one of the most direct investment-based routes to US permanent residency.
For investors from Pakistan, EB-5 offers a strategic alternative to temporary visas like B1/B2, F-1 or L-1 by focusing on permanent residency and long-term stability for your family.

Qualifying Profiles
Who typically qualifies for the US EB-5 investor route?
EB-5 is designed for investors who can make a substantial, fully documented investment and are prepared for a multi-year immigration journey.
For many Pakistani families, traditional US routes like visitor or student visas are no longer sufficient. They may allow short-term travel or education, but they do not, by themselves, create a reliable path to permanent residency.
The US EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, in contrast, is specifically designed to provide a route to permanent residency in return for a qualifying investment and job creation. It is suitable for investors who want long-term certainty and are willing to commit capital for several years.
Direct path to US permanent residency for the main investor, spouse and unmarried children under 21.
No requirement to manage day-to-day business operations when investing via a qualifying regional center.
Freedom to live, work and study anywhere in the United States once you become a permanent resident.
Potential access to world-class US education, healthcare, and business opportunities for your family.
Ability to include multiple family members in a single EB-5 petition, subject to eligibility.
EB-5 vs. common alternatives
We position EB-5 as a long-term immigration plan, not a shortcut tourist visa.
EB-5 investments are not guaranteed and carry commercial and immigration risk. Our role is to help you understand these risks, select more suitable options, and work with licensed US attorneys to structure your case correctly from Pakistan.
Why Choose US EB-5 Visa
Why Pakistani investors choose the US EB-5 investor visa
EB-5 is one of the very few programmes that can convert a compliant investment into a US green card for the whole family.
Investment & funds
Ability to invest the required capital (typically from $800,000) into a qualifying EB-5 project.
Funds must be obtained from lawful sources such as business profits, salary, real estate sales, gifts, inheritances or documented loans.
Clear paper-trail to show how funds moved from Pakistan (or other countries) into the EB-5 investmen
Personal & immigration history
Clean background with no serious criminal history, security or immigration violations.
Ability to pass US security, medical, and admissibility checks at the consulate or through adjustment of status (if eligible).
Willingness to declare worldwide tax and residency information, as required under US law once you become a resident.
Risk understanding & commitment
Understanding that EB-5 investments carry commercial and immigration risks — returns and approvals are not guaranteed.
Prepared to hold the investment for several years, often until the end of the project or as required by EB-5 regulations.
Willingness to actively cooperate in preparing documentation, interviews and follow-up filings with USCIS and the US consulate.
Jaggi Consultants performs an in-depth pre-assessment of your financial profile, business interests and family plans. Where needed, we involve licensed US EB-5 lawyers and tax advisors to ensure that your immigration, investment and compliance strategies are aligned before any funds are committed.
Eligibility Requirements
Key eligibility requirements for the US EB-5 investor visa
US immigration law sets clear financial, legal and documentation requirements for EB-5 investors. We help you understand and prepare for each of them.
Application Process
How the US EB-5 application process works with Jaggi Consultants
From Islamabad to the United States, we coordinate your EB-5 journey with structured milestones and clear expectations.
Initial consultation & EB-5 suitability review
We review your goals, family situation, financial profile and previous travel or immigration history to assess whether EB-5 is suitable for you.
Financial analysis & source-of-funds strategy
Together with you and, where appropriate, a licensed US EB-5 attorney, we map out how your investment funds will be documented and transferred.
Project selection & due diligence
We introduce you to carefully reviewed EB-5 projects or regional centers and encourage independent legal, financial and risk assessment before any commitment.
Capital transfer & subscription documents
Once a project is selected, you will sign offering documents, transfer the required capital into the project escrow or designated account, and complete all KYC/AML steps.
Filing of Form I-526E (EB-5 petition)
Your US immigration attorney files the EB-5 petition with USCIS, including detailed project, business plan and source-of-funds documentation.
Petition processing & requests for evidence (if any)
USCIS reviews your file. If they request additional evidence, we help coordinate a timely and accurate response with your attorney.
Consular processing or adjustment of status
Once your petition is approved and a visa is available, you complete immigrant visa processing at a US consulate or, if eligible, adjust your status within the US.
Conditional green card & removal of conditions
You and your family receive conditional green cards. After about two years of residency, your attorney files to remove conditions based on job creation results.
Practical points for Pakistani investors
Expect multiple document sets: Pakistani tax returns, business records, property documents, bank statements and international remittance records may all be required.
Allow enough time to handle foreign exchange approvals, banking compliance and cross-border transfers under Pakistani and international regulations.
Build EB-5 into your broader family plan: school timelines, exit from your current business, and global tax considerations need to be planned together.

Services we offer
Comprehensive EB-5 legal support and consultation for Pakistani investors
From Islamabad, we connect you with experienced US EB-5 lawyers, vetted projects and a clear immigration strategy tailored to your family.
Recent years have seen variations in EB-5 processing times due to regulatory updates, programme pauses and backlogs. For many investors, a realistic timeframe from first consultation to landing in the US can range between 2 to 5+ years.
As a Pakistan-based consultancy, we focus on transparent expectations and up-to-date guidance, rather than promising unrealistic shortcuts. Your actual timeline will depend on your country of birth, project category, consular capacity and USCIS policies at the time of filing.
Pre-assessment & due diligence: typically a few weeks to a few months, depending on the complexity of your finances.
I-526E petition processing: often measured in years, not months, with significant variation between investors.
Consular processing: interviews and visa issuance depend on US consulate workloads and security checks.
We regularly monitor USCIS processing trends and country-specific updates, so you always understand where your case stands in the queue and what to expect next.
