Looking for a secure, government-approved path to U.S. permanent residency? Archer Place is a premier EB-5 project in Florida that meets all the requirements of the EB-5 Visa Program, offering foreign investors the chance to earn a Green Card through a strategic real estate investment in one of the state’s fastest-growing university cities.

What Is the EB-5 Program and How Does It Work?
The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program was created by the U.S. Congress in 1990 to stimulate the American economy through foreign investment and job creation. It provides a direct path to permanent residency (Green Card) for eligible investors and their families.
To qualify for the EB-5 Visa in 2025:
- Invest $1,050,000 in a qualified U.S. business, or $800,000 if the project is in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA)
- Create or preserve at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers
- Submit Form I-526E and optionally adjust status within the U.S. through Concurrent Filing (Form I-485)
Archer Place is a certified EB-5 project that meets every criterion—offering both immigration benefits and strong financial fundamentals.
