If you are living abroad and are looking for a way to permanently immigrate to the United States, then perhaps the EB-5 Visa is for you.
What is an EB-5 Visa?
An EB-5 Visa is for investors who have invested a substantial amount in a new business venture in the United States that allows for a certain number of U.S. jobs to be created. This is a Visa that allows for permanent immigration status for the investor, along with their spouse and unmarried children.
What qualifies as a substantial amount?
The answer is it depends on the circumstances. In some cases, the amount invested for this type of Visa could be as little as $500,000.
You can find out more about this type of Visa from the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website here:
How do I start the EB-5 process?
Talk to a business broker who has experience with the investor immigration process, and they will be able to answer any questions you may have about the EB-5 Visa process, as well as referring you to a qualified immigration attorney. We have helped many foreign national investors come to the United States, and have relationships with local immigration attorneys.
What if I don’t have $500,000 to invest?
There is another type of Visa, the E-2 Visa, that allows foreign national investors to come to the United States for a typical investment of between $80,000 to $120,000. This Visa does not grant you permanent status, but you are allowed unlimited five year or two year extensions.
