Why Hire an Attorney?
The investor visa programs in the U.S. offer foreign investors an invaluable opportunity to come to the U.S. and start business ventures to help stimulate the economy. However, applicants must fulfill all the necessary criteria to be approved, and ensuring that each requirement is met can be overwhelming. An attorney well-versed with investor visas can help you understand the programs and streamline the application process. With our help, there is no need to be intimidated.
Overview of Investor Visas
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services offers two different types of investor visas: the EB-5 Immigrant Investor visa and the E-2 Treaty Investors visa.
The EB-5 visa is available for individuals who invest $500,000 to $1 million (depending upon the geographic region) in a for-profit business venture in the U.S. that will create at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. citizens. Successful applicants are granted a green card, giving them legal permanent resident status in the U.S.
The E-2 visa is somewhat more flexible in that applicants do not need to prove a minimum investment amount, only that their investment is substantial. Applicants must demonstrate that they have taken steps towards investing in the business venture and that they will maintain control of the investment (at least 50% ownership). Only residents of nations that have commerce and navigation treaties with the U.S. are eligible to apply. Successful applicants are granted a visa that must be renewed every two years, and there is no limit on the number of times it may be renewed.
