Required Capital

Currently, all EB-5 qualifying business opportunities offered by the California Consortium for Agricultural Export require a $500,000 investment. This is because the CCAE operational area - California’s San Joaquin Valley - is considered a "Targeted Employment Area" (TEA) by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. This designation allows for a reduction in the required investment capital from $1 million (required in non-TEA zones) to $500,000.
