The Employment-Based Fifth Preference (EB5) INVESTOR VISA
Labor Certification not required

This  visa category is designed for those who invest one million dollars in a new enterprise that employs ten U.S. workers (exclusive of the immigrant, his/her spouse, and any sons and daughters) or $500,000, if the investment is in certain rural areas or an area of unemployment of at least 150 percent of the national average. Investor visas for those investing in rural or high unemployment areas are limited to a maximum of 3,000 every year. 

EB5 investors obtain permanent resident status on a conditional basis for two years and then must apply to remove the condition.
