Are there special EB-5 categories for infrastructure?

No. There is no EB-5 category created specifically for infrastructure. Projects in that sector can qualify, but they go through the same criteria as any other investment under the program.

In the EB-5, what matters is not the sector label but whether the core requirements are met: a qualified investment in a commercial enterprise and the creation or preservation of jobs in the United States. Infrastructure, real estate, hospitality, technology, and other sectors all compete under the same rules.

• There is no dedicated track for infrastructure.
• Sector projects compete under the program’s general criteria.
• The review focuses on the investment and the jobs, not the sector label.

Before committing to any project, carefully evaluate the soundness of the venture and the credibility of those who structure it. Confirm the current requirements at the official source (USCIS) and work with a trusted specialist, being wary of any promises of guaranteed results.
