What is an immigrant visa?
Some of the foreign nationals entering into USA have an ultimate goal of permanently residing in the United States. An immigrant visa is a document that allows foreign nationals to permanently reside in the United States, generally referred to as a ‘green card’. Immigration visa is broadly divided into four categories: family-based immigration, employment-based immigration, religious worker immigration and immigration investor program.
EB-5 Immigration Law Practice
The immigrant investor, or EB-5 Immigration, program is a highly beneficial permanent residence option for the wealthy individual. For many foreign nationals it is the best option, and for foreign nationals with no family or employment sponsorship in the United States, it may be the only option for obtaining permanent residence status.
The EB-5 category requires an investment in a commercial enterprise that will employ 10 full-time US workers. Although the investor’s role cannot be completely passive, he or she does not have to be involved in any way in the day-to-day management of the business unless he or she wants to do so. It is critically important that the investor be able to document the lawful source of investment funds, whether his or her own or funds given to him or her as a gift. The permanent residence obtained by the investor is conditional for two years and can be made permanent upon satisfying USCIS at the end of the two years that the investment proceeds have not been withdrawn and the requisite jobs have been created.
The investor may invest in his or her own commercial enterprise or in a commercial enterprise owned by other parties. The investor may also choose to invest in a pre-approved “regional center”. Regional centers are government-approved entities in designated geographical areas which sponsor investment project which will create the necessary 10 jobs per investor, whether directly or indirectly.
