A plain guide for Bangladeshi citizens weighing the United States EB5 investor route, with the official authority and where to confirm every figure.

Bangladeshi citizens may apply for the United States EB5 immigrant investor category on the same terms as most other nationalities. There is no nationality bar for Bangladesh. The core test is a qualifying capital investment that is genuinely at risk in a new commercial enterprise and that creates or preserves at least ten full time jobs for United States workers.
Applicants must show that the invested capital was obtained lawfully. For many Bangladeshi investors this means clear records for business income, property sales, inheritance or financing. USCIS publishes the binding evidence standards, so confirm them before you act.
Two investment amounts apply. A lower amount is set for projects in a Targeted Employment Area, meaning a rural area or an area of high unemployment. A higher amount applies elsewhere. Many investors use a Regional Center project, which can count indirect jobs, while a direct investment in your own enterprise counts only direct jobs.
Processing time depends on the petition type, visa availability for your country of birth and current USCIS workloads. After the investor petition is approved and a visa is available, conditional permanent residence is granted, followed later by a request to remove conditions. Check the current processing times on the USCIS website.
The headline figure is the qualifying capital investment. Government filing fees and professional costs apply on top and change over time. Verify every figure with USCIS before you commit.

| Government filing fees | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Set by USCIS |
