Obtaining an investor visa to the United States

As a leader in the global economy, the United States is well aware of the attractiveness of its market for international investment. Therefore, there are various programs that offer foreign investors many interesting opportunities and open many doors.

Citizens of Ukraine have the right to apply for an E-2 investor visa. Any legal entity with any form of ownership is eligible: partnerships, joint ventures, trusts. Both money and technology can be considered an investment. Real estate ownership cannot be considered an investment when it comes to business immigration.

Getting an investor visa to the US economy

The application processing time is relatively short, as is the amount of investment (from $100,000). It usually takes 3-4 months to obtain a US investor visa.

But there is a point with an extension of time: the status of an investor under this program must be confirmed every 2 years.

First, the applicant needs to prepare a complete set of documents and send them to the email address of the US Embassy. After that, the documents are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Within 3 months, either you will be denied or you will be scheduled for an interview for an eb 5 investment visa.

Refusal awaits those who have submitted an incomplete package of documents, filled out the papers incorrectly. It is better to contact the Regservice right away. We guarantee a high probability of obtaining a visa. All thanks to an integrated approach and careful preparation of our clients for possible questions at the embassy.

Our practice shows that the company's registration documents and tax forms are checked especially carefully. Letters of recommendation increase the chances of success. Bank statements, licenses, and other documents may also be required.

Who can be an investor for an e2 visa in the United States?

This visa is granted to individuals and legal entities. Moreover, the company must actually exist and show sustainable results. The investor must control the company's funds. To obtain this visa, the business must significantly exceed the cost of living. A physical office and a signed lease agreement are required. Even the location of the office matters: the better it is, the more trust in the company.

The presence of a website is checked, as it is believed to contribute to the formation of a correct positive image of the investor.

You must be a manager or member of the board of directors of your company. This fact is checked along with the presence of a physical office in the United States.

This type of visa is good because it provides tax advantages. When you are not in the United States, you will be exempt from paying taxes.

But there is one drawback. You and only you must actively develop your business, work in it, and show results. Your level of English must be higher than conversational, otherwise it will be problematic.

You will have to prove that the funds for the investment project were obtained legally.

Opening retail stores and cleaning companies is popular.

If you do not want to start a new company, you can buy an existing one.

Alternatively, the business can be opened on a franchise model, thereby providing the project with constant support.

Conditions for spouses and children of investors

Spouses do not need to obtain a work permit. Investor's children can study at school for free and continue their education at a reduced cost.

Relatives are initially given a green card temporarily, for only 2 years. This is done to prevent possible fraud.

Therefore, it is better to work with a migration lawyer who has the appropriate specialization right away. It will be better and much more effective. All our lawyers have over 10 years of experience and impeccable knowledge of English.

EB-5 investment visa

The EB-5 investment program has been in existence for 30 years, and 10,000 visas of this type are issued annually. It helps to obtain a residence permit if you create 10 or more jobs. Employees need a salary, sick leave, vacation pay, and health insurance. Employment can only be full-time (from 35 hours per week).

The authorized capital must be at least USD 1.05 million. There is a variant with a regional center, most often commercial real estate projects are presented there. This option is suitable for you if you have a relatively small amount of money to invest, and if you do not want to draw up a business plan yourself and take on all the possible worries and risks.

If you stick to passive investments of $800 thousand in the target working area, only force majeure can prevent you from getting your money back. 90% of investors act through a regional center, as the latter fully controls the project's implementation, eliminating many risks for the investor. This option is much safer, and in this case, the investment is half as much.

However, this visa can be considered one of the most reliable and profitable ways to obtain a green card. A US passport after obtaining a green card is usually valid for 7 years. In the United States, you will run an effective business that really works and brings benefits according to simple, clear rules.

When choosing a regional center, you need to check

• how long the company has been operating in the market;
• the number of projects;
• whether there have been any lawsuits.

With the right approach, the failure rate is negligible. As a last resort, after you receive a letter with the reasons for rejection, you can correct the shortcomings and resubmit your application.

The place of residence and work can be any, if you are opening a turnkey enterprise without the participation of a regional center.

Neither the age nor the education of the investor matters in the selection of projects, and the average period for obtaining a green card in this case will be only 18-24 months. In fact, if you have legally received the invested funds and you have no criminal record, the application form and all documents are filled out correctly, you are unlikely to be refused.
