Are You Eligible for an Investment Visa?
Investors often look to America for new enterprising opportunities. There are so many promising startups and plenty of innovative people. It is no wonder business immigration visas are a hot topic. Today we will look at investment visas in particular. We will focus on learning more about eligibility.
First, this type of visa is available if you are single. It is also available to people intending on bringing their family over. This includes a spouse and unmarried children. To be eligible, you must have invested into an established commercial enterprise. You may also be in the process of investing. Then, you must show that this investment will benefit the economy of the United States. Your business must also create a certain amount of full-time job positions.
You are eligible if you established a commercial enterprise. This includes:
- Creating a business from the ground up
- Expanding a business that already exists
- Purchasing or re-organizing an existing business
Your investment must be at least $1,000,000. You can invest $500,000 in a “targeted employment area”. This is an area experiencing unemployment of at least 150 percent the national average. You must create at least 10 full-time jobs for qualified employees. You must also maintain the number of employees held at pre-investment level. This must last for two years at the least.
