Immigration Services for Investors
Every year, the United States government is authorized to grant 10,000 EB-5 immigrant visas to individuals who qualify by investing a significant amount of money in a new business enterprise that will employ legal American workers. Under the law, 5,000 investors may seek a permanent visa by investing in an existing business enterprise that is recognized by the USCIS as a regional center, promoting economic growth in a specific geographic area in the United States.
If you are seeking permanent residency status through the EB-5 investor visa process, you should be aware that the investor green card process is more complex than simply sending in your money. Hanlon Law Group, P.C., in Pasadena, California, can answer all of your questions regarding corporate set ups, U.S. employment law, employer sanctions and all other investor green card and immigration matters.

Types of Investment Visas
There are two types of investment that people can make in order to qualify for an EB-5 visa:
Direct investment: Under a direct investment, an investor must put in one million dollars in a U.S. business that will employ at least 10 U.S workers. If you invest in a business in an designated high unemployment area, the required amount of investment is only $500,000 with the assurance the company will employ U.S. workers.
Regional investment: With a regional center investment, the investor must put money into a pre-approved regional center area. The investor does not need to show that the company will directly create jobs for 10 U.S. workers because the regional center has been preapproved, based on their business model, establishing that each investment will indirectly create 10 U.S. jobs.
