Service Description

The EB5 Visa leads directly to the attainment of a Green Card. The only prerequisite in obtaining this visa is to prove a minimum investment of 900 thousand dollars in areas with an investment deficit. This is established through regional centers that are authorized by the American Immigration to carry out. The investment may also be that of or 1.8 million dollars, in which case there are no restrictions as to the industry being invested upon. This scenario makes it possible for an applicant to invest in a business of his/her own, provided that said business generates at least 10 new jobs in the United States. The E2 Visa is a visa which does not lead to the attainment of a Green Card, however, there is no limit on its renewal. Generally, this visa is granted for an average of 2 years at a time and allows for beneficiaries to readily renew upon approaching its expiration date. The applicant for this visa must be a citizen of one of the countries listed in the Navigation and Trade Treaty. Having citizenship of one of the qualifying countries allows for the applicant to make a financial contribution to his own business in the USA. As for the minimum investment, the legal text does not make any express requirements, however it does require it be a substantial amount being applied in a niche market. The verification is carried out via market research and business plan. As a reference, there have been several successful E2 cases of applicants who invested in small franchises in which the investment was around 100 thousand dollars, for example.
