5 advantages by obtaining the EB-5 Investor Visa An EB-5 investment visa is one of many options available to immigrants to gain lawful status to live and work in the United States. This type of visa is aimed at foreign investors in American businesses. To obtain an EB-5 visa, investors must invest either $500,000 or $1,000,000 (depending on location) into an American business and work with that business over the next two years to create or retain 10 jobs. Advantages of an EB-...5 Visa for Foreign Investors 1- Lawful status in the U.S. Obviously this is the main goal of the majority of foreign investors who apply for an EB-5 visa. The visa allows the investor, and their spouses and qualifying children, a legal path to live, work, and study in the U.S. 2- Quicker path to permanent residence and citizenship. In many cases, the EB-5 visa can facilitate the path to permanent residence faster than other types of visas and green cards. The initial conditions of the visa can be removed after two years. Additionally, immigrants with an EB-5 visa may be eligible for citizenship in as little as 5 years after achieving permanent resident status. 3- No visa sponsorship requirement. An EB-5 visa investor essentially acts as his own sponsor. There are no requirements outside the investment in an American business. They do not have to be sponsored by any American and group. 4- Monetary return on investment. Though many of the investments serve only to help the investor gain entry into the U.S., the right investment can lead to profits and further income for the investor. The initial investment can pay off in more than U.S. status. 5- Freedom to live and work anywhere in the U.S. Though this is not true for all those with an EB-5 visa, many investors have the option to live and work wherever they want. Other types of visas have much more strict requirements, which visa holders must follow or lose status.
