EB-5 Investor Visa
Investment : USD 900,000 + costs
The United States EB-5 Investor Visa program, created by the US Congress in 1990 and subsequently administered by USCIS, is a route to Permanent Residency (Green Card) and Citizenship of the United States for an applicant, their spouse and their unmarried children under the age of 21.
An applicant does not have to meet any age, education, business/management experience and English language proficiency requirements. You can settle anywhere in the US. You can apply for US Citizenship after 5 years from the date of acquiring your Green Card, provided residency requirements and other minor requirements for naturalization are met.
The uniqueness of the EB-5 program is that it ultimately costs nothing to the investor, since all of the investment is returned after 5 years and the investor also makes a nominal Return on Investment (ROI). In effect, it is a program that grants you a Green Card of the United States for FREE.
Our 100% success rate on I-829 (Permanent Green Card) approvals and our track record of 100% return of capital on multiple projects places our team in the highest category of EB-5 industry achievement.
E-2 Investor Visa
Investment : USD 420,000 – 630,000
The E-2 visa is a non-immigrant (temporary) visa, which allows citizens of E-2 treaty countries to move to the United States based on an investment in either a new business or an existing qualifying business. It is a treaty-based visa meaning that a country must have an E2 treaty with the US for their citizens to apply for an E-2 visa. If an applicant is not from an E2 treaty country, he/she must first apply for citizenship of an E2 treaty country before applying for an E-2 visa.
Although there are 80 countries that have an E2 treaty with the U.S., only two countries offer investors the quickest route to acquiring an E-2 visa and arriving in the United States within 6 months. They are Grenada and Turkey.
The E2 visa is for people who –
- Want to get to the U.S. quickly and are looking for a way out from the long waiting periods that they may be subject to if applying for another class of visa, and/or
- Would like to avail of the tax advantages that a U.S. temporary resident visa grants to investors
If you so desire, you can also transition from an E-2 visa to an EB-5 visa (Permanent Residency – Green Card) at a later date. However, in this case you must inform us about any such intention before applying for your E-2 visa, so that we can advice you on the right path forward.
