• Investor Visas
  The EB-5 visa allows foreigners to receive a green card if they invest at least $500,000 in a U.S. business that creates at least 10 local jobs. Interest in this program has skyrocketed since its inception, and the program has been of tremendous benefit to developers who are using it to finance large-scale real estate development projects. Investors who do not have direct family links to U.S. residents or sponsorship from a corporation have come from China, India, Mexico, Iran and many other countries. For them, the EB-5 serves both their business and personal interests. Our immigration attorneys, assisted by our tax and corporate teams, have advised clients from more than 50 countries in investor visa matters.Â
