Is there a separate quota for Brazilians?

No. The EB-5 program does not establish a quota that singles out Brazilians or any other specific nationality. The program is open to investors from all over the world, who go through the same process and the same rules, evaluated based on the investment and job creation.

That does not mean the system has no limits. As with other green card categories, visa issuance is generally subject to annual limits and per-country limits established by law. These limits apply broadly and not as treatment directed at any particular country, but global demand can influence wait times.

• There is no quota created specifically for Brazilians.
• The same rules apply to investors of any background.
• General issuance limits can affect wait times.

Since the availability landscape changes over time, the best path is to follow the Visa Bulletin and USCIS guidance and rely on trusted professionals, without being swayed by promises of guaranteed outcomes.
