These step by step explanations of the process are designed to give you an idea on how the process works in order to prepare you to make an informed decision on your quest for a permanent visa to the U.S. (green card)
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) is the branch of government that administers the Investment visa process. Review the basic requirements for both eligibility and the investment requirements.
A. Generally, most foreign nationals qualify except those from countries with whom the U.S. has no diplomatic relations.
B. You may qualify if your general net worth exceeds one million U.S. dollars, or under other circumstances, such as funds gifted to the investor.
C. Research the various impacts of obtaining an investor visa beyond the ability to live the U.S., such as tax implications and more.
Before proceeding to Step 2, make sure that you:
1. Seek out and review the basic EB-5 law.
2. Determine if you are eligible for residency in the U.S.
3. Determine if you are a qualified investor.
4. Research and review the tax implications for a permanent U.S. visa.
5. Know your timing restrictions if you are including minor children (those under 21 years of age) in the application.
