Foreign investors seeking to emigrate to the United States should consider the EB-5 visa program for lawful permanent residence. The program has resulted in the creation or maintenance of an estimated 80,000 to 100,000 jobs and $4 billion to $5 billion invested in the U.S. economy through 2013.
The program has concurrent goals of emigration to the United States through qualified investment into a commercial enterprise and job creation for U.S. citizens or lawful residents. Investors receive conditional residency after taking the risk in a qualified investment of their own creation or as part of a separate entity in a regional center. After two years of receiving such status, the investor may apply for removal of the conditional status and prove 10 qualifying, full-time positions per investor have been created—direct, indirect and/or induced jobs.
