Illustrative development imagery; not an EB-5 project offering.
Explore. Understand. Evaluate.
Capital Advisors’ development experience and a project’s EB-5 eligibility are separate considerations. Regional-center affiliation and project eligibility must be established for any specific opportunity.
THE PROGRAM AT A GLANCE
Investment with a
potential path to residency.
EB-5 allows eligible foreign investors to seek U.S. permanent residence through qualifying investment and job creation. An eligible spouse and unmarried children under 21 may also qualify, subject to individual requirements.
$1,050,000
Standard investment threshold
For qualifying investments outside the reduced-threshold categories. Legal, filing and administrative costs are additional.
10 jobs
Required per investor
The investment must support at least 10 qualifying full-time U.S. jobs under the applicable program rules.
Thresholds reviewed October 3, 2026. Statutory inflation adjustments begin January 1, 2027. Confirm the applicable amount with immigration counsel before investing or filing. Capital must be at risk; investment repayment and immigration approval are not guaranteed.
THE CAPITAL ADVISORS PERSPECTIVE
Understand the development behind the investment.
Capital Advisors & Associates is a vertically integrated real estate investment and development firm based in McAllen, Texas. Our work spans land development, residential communities, multifamily and mixed-use real estate in South Texas.
We bring the conversation back to the fundamentals: the property, the plan, the capital needed to execute it and the market for the finished project.
Explore our portfolio & track recordEvery EB-5 opportunity needs its own review.
Our existing funds and developments should not be assumed to qualify for EB-5. This page does not represent Capital Advisors as a USCIS-designated regional center or advertise an approved EB-5 project.
A grounded development plan
Review land control, approvals, infrastructure, construction costs and realistic delivery milestones.
A clear use of capital
Understand the funding structure, sponsor responsibilities, fees, repayment priorities and downside scenarios.
Evidence behind the assumptions
Examine budgets, project documents and the basis for job-creation estimates with qualified independent advisers.
Separate investment and immigration reviews
Evaluate the economics with your financial advisers and the immigration requirements with your own EB-5 attorney.
TWO INVESTMENT PATHWAYS
The structure changes
how eligibility is demonstrated.
Choosing an investment structure is a project-specific decision. These are program categories, not Capital Advisors offerings.
Investment in a qualifying business.
A standalone investor generally files Form I-526 and must demonstrate qualifying direct employment.
- Business operations and employment records matter.
- Buying property alone does not establish EB-5 eligibility.
- Investment structure and investor participation require legal review.
A designated regional-center structure.
A regional-center investor generally files Form I-526E. Qualifying indirect jobs may count under applicable rules and economic methodologies.
- Verify regional-center designation and the project’s filings.
- Review the economic report and allocation of jobs.
- Designation does not mean the government endorses the investment.
FROM QUESTIONS TO AN INFORMED DECISION
A clear process.
Qualified advice at each stage.
Begin with your goals. Any eventual investment and immigration filing require their own documents, eligibility review and professional advice.
- 1
Have the first conversation
Discuss your goals, expected investment range, timing and interest in South Texas real estate with our team.
- 2
Review personal eligibility
Your immigration attorney evaluates your circumstances, visa availability and evidence of lawful source and path of funds.
- 3
Evaluate a specific opportunity
If a suitable EB-5 opportunity is available, review offering documents, costs, risks, project status and job-creation evidence before committing.
- 4
Follow the immigration process
Counsel guides the appropriate petition and residence process, then the application to remove conditions. Processing and investment timelines differ.
INVESTOR QUESTIONS
Know what to ask
before you invest.
Start here, then bring your specific questions to the right advisers.
Talk with Capital AdvisorsDoes EB-5 guarantee a green card or citizenship?
No. Each applicant must qualify and receive the required approvals. EB-5 can lead to conditional permanent residence and, after conditions are removed, continued permanent residence. Citizenship requires a separate naturalization process and eligibility.
Can my family apply with me?
An eligible spouse and unmarried children under 21 may apply as derivative beneficiaries. Ask immigration counsel about age-related rules and each family member’s circumstances.
Can I invest $800,000 in any Capital Advisors project?
No. The reduced threshold applies only when the specific investment meets the applicable TEA or infrastructure requirements. A location, development budget or ordinary fund subscription does not establish eligibility.
Is Capital Advisors accepting EB-5 investments through this page?
This page provides education and an introductory conversation. It does not present a specific EB-5 offering, confirm an approved project or accept investment funds. Request the applicable regional-center details, project filings and offering documents for any opportunity you consider.
Are my funds guaranteed or immediately available to withdraw?
No. EB-5 capital must be at risk. Investments can be illiquid and may lose value. Review the investment term, extension rights, repayment conditions and immigration requirements independently; a program requirement is not a promised repayment date.
How long does the process take?
Timing depends on the petition, visa category and availability, country of chargeability, case circumstances and government processing. No approval date is promised. Your attorney should check current visa availability and processing information.
What should I prepare for the first call?
Bring your broad goals, investment range, intended timeline and questions about the development process. You do not need to send passports, tax returns or bank statements through this page. Detailed immigration and financial records belong in an appropriate secure review process.
What should I review before committing capital?
Ask for the offering documents, full fee schedule, project budget and financing, job-creation analysis, applicable filings, conflicts of interest and exit terms. Use independent legal and financial advisers to assess whether the structure fits your circumstances.
YOUR NEXT STEP
