Permanent residence · EB-5
Residence through a qualifying investment.
EB-5 is a Green Card path based on a qualifying investment and job creation, with its own petition and residence stages. MGM organizes the project, documentation and administrative workflow so each stage advances with seriousness.
You can start organizing the capital and project picture before the investment is completed.
A permanent-residence path tied to investment and jobs.
EB-5 may allow qualifying investors to pursue permanent residence in the United States when the project and documentation are organized with clarity.
Permanent residence
EB-5 is among Green Card pathways based on a qualifying investment · it is not a temporary business visa.
Investment and jobs
The picture involves qualifying capital and job creation under the rules applicable to the project · details that must be organized case by case.
Its own stages
Petition, residence (often conditional) and later continuity stages require continuous document organization.
How these elements apply depends on the project, capital, job creation and the other applicable stages. MGM does not sell projects or guarantee returns.
Investing in the United States is not the same as structuring a residence path.
EB-5 often fits when there is capital, a serious project and a permanent-residence goal. The starting point is organizing the picture · not improvising documents or financial decisions.
Residence goal
There is a clear intent to pursue permanent residence in the United States through a qualifying investment project.
Capital and project
There is (or is forming) a capital and project scenario that must be understood seriously before moving forward.
Traceable documentation
Source of funds, investment structure and project evidence need to be organized in a coherent and verifiable way.
Long-term view
The investor understands that EB-5 has its own stages · including, in many cases, conditional residence and later document continuity.
No single element defines the picture. The set must be organized and explored case by case.
An investment project needs to be organized, not only announced.
Capital, structure, jobs and documentation form a story that must stay coherent from first contact through later stages · including when residence begins with conditions.
The first step is not to complete the investment. It is to understand the goal, project profile and what still needs to be explored.
The project needs to be understood before it is documented.
MGM coordinates information, documents, participants and administrative steps so the EB-5 project advances with organization and clarity.

We start with the residence goal, capital profile and current project context.
We organize the context
Information, documents and participants are structured to reveal a coherent and verifiable story.
We coordinate the steps

You track the progress
The investor knows what has been completed, what remains pending and what the next operational step is · including later continuity stages.

Guidance
EB-5 or E-2?
Both pathways can involve investment, but they start from different foundations.
EB-5
Permanent residence through investment
EB-5 is a Green Card path based on a qualifying investment and job creation, with its own petition and residence stages.
E-2
Temporary investor visa
E-2 is a temporary visa tied to investing in and directing an eligible business · it is not, by itself, permanent residence.
In some scenarios, more than one pathway may deserve review. The choice should not be made only by the category name or the amount of capital.
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers before you begin.
Is EB-5 the same as the E-2 visa?
No. In high-level coordination terms: E-2 is often treated as a temporary visa tied to investment and directing a business; EB-5 as a permanent-residence pathway based on investment, with its own stages. Which, if either, fits your goal depends on profile and individual analysis
Does MGM sell EB-5 investment projects or slots?
No. MGM does not sell investment projects or guarantee returns. We coordinate document and administrative organization when there is a real project to structure
What is conditional residence in EB-5?
In many EB-5 scenarios, permanent residence begins with conditions and requires organized document continuity. Details depend on the case and need careful review
Do I need capital already invested to start the assessment?
Not necessarily. The preliminary assessment starts with the goal, project profile and current context. You do not need to complete the investment to take the first organizational step
Does MGM provide legal or investment advice?
No. MGM coordinates the mobility project. Legal advice belongs to an independent licensed attorney; investment and financial-risk decisions belong to the investor and qualified professionals in those fields
Does the preliminary assessment guarantee EB-5 approval?
No. The preliminary assessment organizes the picture and guides the next step. It does not guarantee eligibility, approval or outcome
What is EB-5?
In general terms (informational guidance): a permanent residence category based on investment in the United States, with its own capital, job and program-stage rules. In many scenarios, residence begins conditionally and later includes the I-829 step. Case applicability belongs to an independent attorney
What is conditional residence?
On some pathways (for example, certain marriage or EB-5 cases), permanent residence begins with conditions and a time limit. Later, there is a step to request removal of those conditions (such as I-751 or I-829). Until then, the status is conditional permanent residence
What is I-829?
It is the petition to remove conditions on permanent residence obtained through the EB-5 (investment) path. It comes after the conditional residence period and does not replace the earlier investment stages
What is a Green Card?
It is the common name for the document that proves lawful permanent residence in the United States. A Green Card holder may live and work in the country permanently, subject to the rules for maintaining that status. It is not U.S. citizenship
What is USCIS?
It is the U.S. government agency that handles many immigration and citizenship filings inside the country (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services). When a case has steps abroad, other agencies (such as the Department of State) may also be involved
