| IMMIGRATION THROUGH INVESTMENT |
| Under section 203(b)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. § 1153(b)(5), immigrant visas are available to qualified immigrants seeking permanent resident status in the U.S. on the basis of their engagement in a new commercial enterprise in the U.S. |
| A specific number of the available visas are set aside for those who invest in a new commercial enterprise which will create employment in a “targeted employment area.” A “targeted employment area” means: at the time of the investment, a rural area or an area which has experienced high unemployment (of at least 150% of the national average rate). A rural area is any area other than an area within a metropolitan statistical area or within the outer boundary of any city or town having a population of 20,000 or more. |
| This type of visa will allow you to obtain the Green Card for you, your spouse and your unmarried children under 21 years old. |
| Requirements |
| The investor must demonstrate: |
| that s/he has invested in or is actively in the process of investing the required capital* in a new commercial enterprise; and |
| that the new commercial enterprise will benefit the U.S. economy and create full-time employment for at least 10 U.S. citizens or Lawful Permanent Residents (or other immigrants lawfully authorized to be employed in the U.S.) |
| *The required capital, ranges from $500K to $3,000,000, and is dependent on specific investment circumstances. |
| There are multitudinous immigration laws, federal statutes and regulations involved in applications for non-immigrant and immigrant visas. The legal process is complex and could result in the denial of a your visa if the application is not properly prepared. If the application is put together correctly and professionally by a qualified immigration attorney, the probability of achieving a successful result is greatly increased. |
