Investment Visas
There are several different types of investment visas that are available to foreign nationals who have a bilateral investment, commerce, or navigation treaty with the United States. Employment-based (EB) investment visas are available to eligible individuals who have made a substantial investment in a U.S. company and wish to enter the country to assist in the development of the business operations of that specific enterprise. These types of visas are extremely hard to obtain and require the assistance of an experienced immigration attorney. The attorneys at Fasoro Law have helped countless global business individuals obtain EB investment visas to conduct business in the United States.
Different Types of Investment Visas
There are several different types of investment visas available to foreign investors, including:
- EB-5 Visa - An individual seeking an EB-5 visa must invest $1 million (or $500,000 in a high unemployment or rural area) in a business that will employ at least 10 full-time U.S. workers. An Eb-5 visa can be obtained by a sole investor or by multiple investors.
- E-2 Treaty Visa - This type of visa is an option for investors from a treaty country who have an enterprise that does substantial trade with, or investment in, the U.S. Applicants can also be in the process of investing in the U.S. to be awarded an E-2 visa.
- L-1 and EB1.3 Transfer Visa - The L-1 nonimmigrant transfer visas and EB1.3 immigrant transfer visas are designed for businesses and business owners who are residing abroad and wish to create a U.S. enterprise, who then want to transfer the investors and employees to the U.S. Both visas are quite complex and require the assistance of an immigration attorney.
