Why Nebraska for EB-5?

State-specific advantages for immigrant investors targeting Nebraska.

Omaha Financial Sector & Corporate Headquarters

Omaha is home to Berkshire Hathaway, Union Pacific, and several Fortune 500 companies, creating a robust financial and corporate services economy. The Omaha metro supports multifamily residential, office, and mixed-use EB-5 projects with strong job creation documentation.

Vast Rural Nebraska Agricultural TEA

Nebraska's agricultural heartland — the Sandhills, Platte River Valley, and western plains — contains extensive USCIS-eligible rural TEA zones. Agricultural processing and rural infrastructure projects create documentable EB-5 job creation, and rural set-aside access enables concurrent filing benefits.

No State Estate Tax

Nebraska does not have a state estate tax, making it a favorable domicile for EB-5 investors who plan to transfer wealth to heirs during US permanent residency. Combined with a moderate cost of living and Omaha's strong economy, Nebraska appeals to HNWI investors.
