Secure your U.S. Green Card with Half the Investment through EB5 Loan


Nikin Tharan is the co-founder of Greencard Inc and EB5 Loan. Greencard Inc. is a startup dedicated to simplifying the process for high-skilled immigrants to obtain talent visas. Through a personalized program, Greencard Inc helps immigrants build and showcase their accomplishments to secure O1, EB1, and NIW visas. The EB5 Loan program offers foreign investors a direct path to U.S. permanent residency. While traditional applicants invest $800,000 in qualifying American job-creating projects, our innovative financing solution requires just $400,000 upfront - making your American dream accessible today.


In this episode, we learn more about the EB5 program and EB5 Loan.

Here’s how it works:

  • The EB5 program requires an $800,000 investment.
  • You invest $400,000 of your own funds.
  • We connect you with a lending partner who provides the remaining $400,000 at a competitive ~5% interest rate.
  • You repay the loan over time.

This structure is purpose-built for talented professionals already in the U.S. on valid status (H1B, F1, etc.).


Nikin himself is a recipient of the O1A visa (July 2020) and EB1A Green Card (July 2022), and his journey overcoming setbacks to obtain the Green Card is featured in the Amazon best-seller Unshackled.
