How can the EB-5 Visa Program Benefit you?
What is EB-5?
Created by the U.S. Congress in 1990, the EB-5 Program was developed to encourage foreign investment in the U.S. economy.
Through the EB-5 Program, investors, their spouses and unmarried children under 21, are eligible to apply for lawful permanent U.S. residency. Green cards will be issued when they make the necessary investment in a U.S. commercial enterprise that creates or preserves 10 permanent full-time U.S. workers.
What are the Benefits?
The EB-5 Program is by far the fastest, most simple and safest way to make a smart investment while acquiring a non-restrictive, Green Card and future U.S. citizenship for both the investor and his or her immediate family. We’re here to help. The Star of Texas Regional Center will take care of your immigration journey from start to finish.
What is a Regional Center?
An EB-5 regional center is an economic unit, public or private, in the United States, involved with promoting economic growth. All regional center designations are awarded by the United States Citizenship & Immigration Service (USCIS) after a thorough vetting process.
The Star of Texas Regional Center (STRC) has been helping foreign investors with access to a Permanent Resident VISA (Green Card) in the United States since it was one of the first approved Regional Centers in 2010.
The Star of Texas Regional Center is the EB-5 sponsor of the ZOO Beachbar & Grill and has the legal authority to accept and manage immigrant applicant funds in compliance with the USCIS EB-5 Program.
The ZOO Beachbar & Grill will be owned by Peninsula Beach Resort LTD, to promote economic growth and facilitate investment within Texas, specifically the geographic region of Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Jefferson, and Orange Counties, Texas. It encompasses the combined Houston/Galveston/Sugarland MSA’s, America’s energy capital and the fourth largest city in the U.S., as well as Beaumont and Port Arthur MSA’s.
