E-2 nonimmigrant classification allows a national of a treaty country (a country with which the United States maintains a treaty of commerce and navigation) to be admitted to the United States when investing a substantial amount of capital in a U.S. business. Certain employees of such a person or of a qualifying organization may also be eligible for this classification.
Persons of "extraordinary ability, " "outstanding researchers or professors" or people on "national interest" may apply for permanent resident status through the EB-1 program without applying for a labor certification from the Department of Labor, which can take years to obtain. Extraordinary ability applicants do not need to be sponsored by an employer.

Report
So, for a short time until the USCIS properly increases the investment amount, it remains at $500,000. This is for both direct investments (where one creates their own business or with a friend or relative) and Regional Center projects. While the direct EB-5 program remains, unfortunately the Regional Center program has lapsed.
