Find the Best EB5 Visa LawyersThere is no minimum percentage of equities you should buy. What matters actually is that you must invest the required minimum of $900,000 if your investment project is in a TEA or rural area,.However, if the project is in urban area, the required minimum amount is $1.8million.
