Understanding Investor Visas
Investor visas enable entrepreneurs and business owners to invest and establish businesses in the United States. Understanding the different types of investor visas is crucial for selecting the one that best fits your needs:
- EB-5 Visa for investors making substantial investments in U.S. businesses, typically amounting to $1 million or $500,000 in targeted employment areas. This visa offers a pathway to permanent residency, provided the investment creates at least ten full-time jobs for U.S. workers.
- E-2 Visa for investors from treaty countries who make substantial investments in U.S. enterprises. The investment must be significant enough to ensure the successful operation of the business. Unlike the EB-5 visa, the E-2 visa does not directly lead to permanent residency but allows an extended stay to manage and develop the business.
Choosing the right investor visa and navigating the application process can be complex. That’s why having an experienced immigration attorney is essential. At D’Alessio Law Group, we provide personalized guidance to ensure your application meets all requirements and is as strong as possible, increasing your chances of success. Trust us to help you achieve your business goals in the U.S.
