Partnerships and Multiple Investors

Green Cards > Employment Green Card > Partnerships and Multiple Investors
 

Note that it is acceptable to have multiple investors in the new commercial enterprise, other than the applicant.  All new full-time employee positions created in the new commercial enterprise may be credited to the applicant.

A new limited partnership does qualify as a new commercial enterprise.  It is also acceptable for the applicant to invest in the partnership after its formation.  The relevant limited partnership agreement must give the investor rights and duties in order for the partnership to qualify for EB-5 purposes.  If the limited partnership is an investment fund that funds various companies, then the investor’s management is related to the fund, not those companies that are invested in.
