EB-5 investor green card: how the immigrant investor path works
The EB-5 path is the employment-based fifth preference category for immigrant investors. It is not a typical employer-sponsored green card. Instead, it is built around investing the required amount of capital in a qualifying U.S. commercial enterprise and creating or preserving at least 10 full-time jobs for qualifying workers.
Special immigrants for permanent residency: how the EB-4 category works
The EB-4 category is one of the less intuitive green card paths. It is for certain special immigrants, not for the typical employer-sponsored professional case, and it works under its own rules for eligibility, petitioning, and visa availability.

The core structure is employment-based first, second, and third preference, with additional paths for special immigrants and immigrant investors. The harder part is understanding when you need labor certification, when you need Form I-140, and when self-petitioning is possible.
