Nysa EB-5

What Nysa EB-5 does

Nysa EB-5 is an independent EB-5 immigrant investor service provider and a division of Nysa Capital, LLC, a full-service merchant banking and financial advisory firm headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded in 2014, the company structures qualifying U.S. investments under the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program for high-net-worth foreign investors seeking U.S. permanent residency, and it operates a regional-center-agnostic model that selects and vets project sponsors rather than aligning exclusively with any single regional center. Its current project pipeline spans Elementé Casa Grande (a 238-unit build-to-rent community in Arizona), the Great Salt Lake Lithium Extraction Project (a 20,000-metric-ton-per-annum lithium carbonate operation in Utah), and Church Street Station (a transit-oriented mixed-use development in Orlando), with completed reference projects including Tryon International Equestrian Center and Harbor Village at Harbor Shores. Nysa also offers comprehensive post-investment relocation services covering banking, education, legal, housing, taxes, and medical needs.

Revenue is generated through syndication markups, administrative fees, and ancillary charges layered onto the program-mandated minimum investments of $800,000 (TEA-designated projects) or $1,050,000 (non-TEA projects), with immigration attorney and USCIS filing fees passed through to investors. Distribution is executed through a proprietary, exclusive global network of immigration agents and financial advisors operating in 13 countries (China, Southeast Asia, India, Latin America, and the Middle East), supported by direct field-sales offices in Atlanta and Beijing staffed by regionally-dedicated managers who serve investors in their native languages. Service delivery is anchored by a curated partner ecosystem — Akerman, Klasko Immigration Law Partners, Saul Ewing, Marcum LLP, BCW Securities, Vermilion Consulting, and JTC Americas — providing immigration law, securities placement, accounting, economic-impact analysis, and fund administration. The firm is led by Chairman Hon. George H. Foresman (former U.S. Undersecretary of Homeland Security) and EVP George Griffin, the latter spearheading a stated $2.5 billion equity investment initiative for the GreenTrust Partners Sun Belt Growth Fund.
