Remember, the process of obtaining an investor visa involves meticulous planning and adherence to specific guidelines. Luckily, Claxton Law Group is here to help.
This visa is designed for nationals of countries with which the United States maintains treaties of commerce and navigation. It allows foreign individuals to engage in substantial trade with the U.S.We will help you demonstrate that the trade is substantial, with the majority of the trade conducted between the U.S. and the treaty country.
The E2 visa allows nationals of treaty countries who wish to invest a substantial amount of capital in a U.S. business to live and work in the U.S. based on the investment.Our team will assist in showcasing a "substantial" investment in a bona fide enterprise in the U.S. and ensure that your business plan aligns with USCIS requirements.
The EB-5 Investor Visa program is for those interested in investing in the United States. Unlike the E1 and E2 visas, the EB-5 visa is an immigrant visa, leading to a Green Card and permanent residency in the United StatesWe guide you through the process of making the required investment in a new commercial enterprise that will create at least 10 full-time jobs for qualifying U.S. workers.
All three visas facilitate business and investment in the U.S., but each has its unique requirements and benefits:
The E1 visa is based on trade, E2 is based on investment in an active business, and EB-5 is based on investment in a new commercial enterprise that creates jobs. E1 and E2 visas do not directly lead to permanent residency, while the EB-5 visa can.
No, an investment in a U.S. business is not required for the E1 Visa. This visa is based on trade.
A "substantial" investment refers to a significant amount of capital that is invested in a bona fide enterprise in the U.S. The amount varies depending on the type of business, but it should be sufficient to ensure the investor's financial commitment to the successful operation of the enterprise.
The investment for an E2 Visa must be in an active business as opposed to passive investment such as stocks or real estate.
A Targeted Employment Area (TEA) is either a rural area or an area experiencing high unemployment. If the investment is made in a TEA, the minimum investment for an EB-5 visa is reduced to $900,000.
