U.S. immigrant investor program

Immigration for wealthy individuals

The U.S. Immigrant Investor Program (EB-5 program) is the fastest way for wealthy individuals to obtain a Green Card for themselves, their spouse and dependant children under the age of 21 (U.S. government page). Once the file has been submitted, it will take approximately 8 months to complete the procedure and receive your Green Card. The only requirement for this program is an investment of $500,000 USD in the United States. This money can come from personal savings, a loan, a donation, an inheritance, etc.

However, applying and obtaining the Immigrant Investor Visa (also known as EB-5 visa) is not a simple process and can be daunting to foreign investors. Our firm has over 30 years of experience in immigration and is exclusively involved in immigration. In association with our American partners, we will handle all the details of the procedure and the investment for you.

With an investment of $500,000 USD in the United States a candidate
can qualify for a Green Card for himself and his family within 8 months.

Advantages of the Investor Program

• No need for any business or management experience.
• Candidate only needs to prove he has $500,000 USD obtained legally.
• The investment money is kept in a secure escrow bank account until the government approves the file of the candidate.
• If the application is refused by the government, the investment is automatically returned by the escrow bank.
• Can start withdrawing his investment after a minimum of 2 ½ years and a total refund after 5 years.
• Eligible to apply for American citizenship after 5 years.
• Possible to continue to conduct business elsewhere in the world as long as a residence is kept in the United States.

Investment

The goal of the Immigrant Investor Program is to stimulate the U.S. economy. With your investment, you will become a limited partner in an existing business in the United States. There is no need to actively participate in the management of the business. The investment must create or preserve at least 10 full-time jobs within 2 years. It is possible to take back 50% of your investment after a period of 2 ½ years (after the job creation condition is removed). The remaining of the investment (50%) can only be taken out after another 2 ½ years. You will have recuperated your entire investment after a period of 5 years.

Your investment will be placed in businesses that have tangible assets that cannot easily disappear like hospitals and hotels. This way, your investment is relatively safe.

Currently, there is an opportunity for 14 investors to invest in the purchase and renovation of a Marriott Hotel in Valdosta Georgia. You can consult the record of our past projects to see the kind of projects we have created for our clients.
