limitations
While the EB-5 Visa is quite un-restrictive, and unlike other visas, available to citizens of all countries worldwide, there is a limitation as to the number of EB-5 Visas that can be issued per annum. The number of EB-5 visas available is limited to 10,000 inclusive of spouses and dependents. It must be noted, that no more than seven (7%) percent of all EB-5 investor visas can be issued to citizens of one single country, unless the cap has not been reached. Until recent years, the USCIS never came close to issuing the 10,000 EB-5 visa limits. This is primarily been due to the popularity of the EB-5 program in Asia, specifically China.
