Yellowstone Club Phase II Has Created the Necessary Jobs Required to Support All 750 Investors’ Permanent Green Cards

Q: Why is job creation so important in the EB-5 Program?

Job creation is the core requirement of the EB-5 Program. Generally, each EB-5 investor must be credited with at least 10 qualifying jobs to support their path to Permanent Residence. A Project that has already met or exceeded its required job creation threshold has achieved an important milestone in supporting its investors' immigration journey.

An independent job creation analysis by Baker Tilly, a leading U.S. accounting and advisory firm, confirms that Yellowstone Club Phase II, EB5 United’s Priority Processing Rural EB‑5 Project, has created 7,874.1 EB‑5 eligible jobs to date (through June 2026), exceeding the 7,500 jobs required to support all 750 investors’ path to Permanent Residence.

Regional Center

The Regional Center Advantage: Three Types of Jobs Count

One of the key advantages of investing through an EB‑5 Regional Center is the way qualifying jobs are calculated. Unlike a standalone EB‑5 investment, where only direct jobs created by the business may qualify, Regional Center Projects can count three categories of employment generated by the Project:

Direct jobs

Created by workers employed on the Project.

Indirect jobs

Created by businesses that supply goods and services to the Project.

Induced jobs

Created as workers employed directly or indirectly by the Project spend their earnings throughout the local economy.

This broader economic impact enables large development Projects to generate substantially more qualifying EB‑5 jobs than would otherwise be possible.

Job Buffer

More Jobs Than Required. More Confidence for Investors.

The Project has already created 7,874.1 qualifying jobs, exceeding the 7,500 required, and is projected to create 9,533.7 total full-time jobs at completion, 2,033.7 beyond the requirement, a job buffer of 27.12%.

Jobs per investor

While the Project has already surpassed the required threshold, construction remains ongoing. As additional eligible expenditures are incurred, further qualifying jobs are expected to be generated, expanding the Project’s job buffer.

Throughout development, EB5 United actively monitors construction progress through regular site visits, tracks eligible expenditures and job creation, and provides investors with ongoing Project updates.

For investors, this milestone represents more than another construction update. It reflects disciplined Project execution, independent verification, and meaningful progress toward one of the EB‑5 Program’s most important requirements.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions about EB‑5 Job Creation.

Why is job creation so important in the EB‑5 Program?

Job creation is the core requirement of the EB‑5 Program. Generally, each EB‑5 investor must be credited with at least 10 qualifying jobs to support their path to Permanent Residence. A Project that has already met or exceeded its required job creation threshold has achieved an important milestone in supporting its investors’ immigration journey.

Does creating enough jobs automatically guarantee Permanent Green Cards?

No. Meeting the job creation requirement is a significant milestone, but it is not the only requirement for an investor to obtain Permanent Residence. USCIS reviews each investor’s petition individually to confirm that all applicable EB‑5 requirements have been met, including the sustained investment and eligibility under the law. Job creation is one of the most important factors, but Permanent Residence is ultimately granted only after USCIS approves an investor’s petition.

How are EB‑5 jobs calculated in a Regional Center Project?

Regional Center Projects may count three categories of qualifying employment: direct jobs, indirect jobs, and induced jobs. The number of qualifying jobs is determined through an economic model submitted with the project’s I‑956F Petition and reviewed by USCIS as part of the approval process. Once the I‑956F is approved, the model is established, and as project expenditures are made, those dollars are input into the model to calculate the resulting jobs. At that point, the jobs tied to those expenditures are locked in and cannot be reduced or eliminated.

Why is a job creation buffer important?

A job creation buffer means the Project has created, or is projected to create, more qualifying jobs than the minimum required for its investors. This additional margin provides greater confidence that the Project remains above the required threshold even if future calculations or expenditures change. As construction continues and additional eligible expenditures are incurred, a Project’s job buffer may continue to grow.

Who verifies job creation in an EB‑5 Project?

Job creation analyses are typically prepared by independent economic firms using accepted methodologies and project expenditure data. Separately, firms like Baker Tilly independently review and verify the underlying expenditures themselves, confirming that funds were used appropriately and that costs qualify under EB‑5 requirements. This verification process is a critical safeguard against fraud and ensures the integrity of the job creation calculation. Ultimately, USCIS independently evaluates all evidence submitted with each investor’s immigration petition before making a final determination.

Data source. Job creation figures are based on an independent analysis prepared by Baker Tilly (employment data through June 2026), together with the Project’s economic analysis. Projected totals reflect estimates at completion and may change as construction continues.
