Immigrant Investor Program (EB-5)

This visa is for people and their families (spouses and children under the age of 21) with the ability to obtain a U.S. visa based solely upon a minimum investment in a for-profit enterprise that creates or retains a specified number of jobs. The investor and their dependents will be granted conditional permanent residence valid for two years once their petition of investment is approved.

E-2 Treaty Investors

The E-2 nonimmigrant classification allows a national of a treaty country to be admitted to The United States when investing a substantial amount of capital (at least 50% ownership) in a United States business. A substantial amount of capital is referring to substantial in relationship to the total cost of either purchasing an established enterprise or establishing a new one, sufficient to ensure the treaty investor’s financial commitment to the successful operation of the enterprise, of a magnitude to support the likelihood that the treaty investor will successfully develop and direct the enterprise.

The E-2 investor visa is allowed a maximum initial stay of two years. Request for extension may be granted in increments of up to two years each and there is no limitation for the request. Spouse and unmarried children under 21 years old are allowed to accompany and apply as a dependent under the E-2 investor visa holder. If their application is approved, they will generally be granted the same period of stay as the E-2 investor visa holder. Spouses of E-2 visa holders may apply for work authorization by filing Form I-765 with a fee. If approved, there is no restriction as to where the spouse may work.

Diversity Immigrant Visa Lottery Program

Each year, only 50,000 immigrant visas are awarded to foreigners to immigrate to the United States. Even if you have applied for a green card through another avenue, you can still consider applying for the lottery. The visas will be given to foreign nationals of countries that have low rates of immigration to the United States an opportunity to participate in a random drawing for the potential of getting an immigration visa.

In order to be eligible for the Diversity Immigrant Visa Lottery Program, you must be a foreign citizen from a country with a low immigration rate to the United States. Each year, the U.S. Department of State puts out a list of eligible and ineligible countries. The list of countries may change each year. In addition, you must have graduated from high school or its equivalent or have qualifying work experience.
