You’re thinking the EB-5 visa program, I think. That was the fifth “employment based” visa.
You’re sort of right, but your numbers are off. It’s $1.8 million in cash, but the real kicker is that you need to sustain those 10+ permanent US employees through your investments. Been a popular program since 1990, about 12,000 folks use it a year lately. It’s still a thing, you can apply for one today.
A much better deal than handing $5M to US Government. Just buy or start a restaurant, theoretically returning a fair ROI. But losing less than $5M should be easy.
These are the same cards that used to require 1 million in cash and 4 million in small business investment with proven local employees right?

Having watched kitchen nightmares, it’s pretty easy to lose that kinda money on a restaurant too
