The Immigration Act of 1990 created the opportunity to obtain an EB-5 Visa ( EB5 Green Card) for Immigrant Investors in the United States.
This visa provides a method of obtaining a green card for foreign nationals who invest money in the United States. The EB-5 is one of the quickest methods to obtain a green card to be able to live in the US and Global can assist in finding those opportunities in central Florida that are right for you, such as property management companies and franchises.
There are Several Family Benefits as Well
Not only does the EB5 investment program allow permanent residency (i.e., green cards) for the individual investor, but their spouse and children under the age of 21 are able to obtain this visa. This occurs by investing $500,000 plus a reasonable legal/administrative fee into an approved US government designated EB-5 Regional Center program that Global can find for you.
The EB-5 visa allows you to gain independent employment by setting up a business and to live anywhere in the United States with access to benefits enjoyed by US citizens. The investors’ children can attend public schools and gain access to universities with the same rights as US citizens.
In addition, their children’s rights do not end after they turn 21 and they are able to take advantage of job opportunities in the US with their own green cards. Furthermore, each member of the family may apply for United States citizenship after holding their green card for approximately five years.
