Do I have to prove the maintenance of the 10 jobs until the end of the 2 years?

The EB-5 program is one of the ways to obtain residency in the United States through foreign investment, and one of the fundamental requirements is the creation of at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers. This resource aims to encourage economic development and job creation in the country.

Regarding your question, it is important to clarify that, for the removal of conditions on your EB-5 visa, you must present strong evidence that the investment resulted in the creation of 10 jobs. This verification is done at the end of the conditional 2-year period.

Thus, during this time, the project or enterprise must consistently demonstrate that the jobs were effectively created and, in many cases, maintained. In practice, this means that, at the end of the conditional period, you will need to gather detailed documentation – such as accounting records, payroll reports, and other evidence – proving that the 10 jobs were generated.

Although the main requirement is to demonstrate that these jobs were created within the time frame, maintaining those positions throughout the period may be considered a relevant factor to show the viability and success of the project. Therefore, investors usually monitor and document the evolution of the jobs created throughout the entire process.

It is essential to emphasize the importance of following all laws and procedures established by U.S. immigration, seeking reliable information from official sources and considering the support of trusted professionals specialized in immigration. This way, it is possible to avoid scams or marketing campaigns that promise results without legal basis.

Keeping organized and updated documentation is crucial so that, at the end of the conditional period, you are well prepared to meet the EB-5 program requirements.
