USA Investor Visas

By Sam McDougall Turner

Becoming a US citizen is the dream of many millions of people all over the world and even though there are a huge number of people who are granted citizenship every year, the waiting list is still so vast that it will take over ten years to clear and the applications keep on coming.

One of the main reasons that the USA is so desirable to people from less economically developed countries because of the reputation it has; the land of freedom and opportunity. People from all over the world have dreams of moving to America and starting up a business.

But what many dont know is that there is a separate clause in the law which grants an investor visa for USA to a person who is looking to invest within that country " and that process is significantly faster than the normal approval process which could take any amount of time!

There are two main ways of obtaining an investor visa for the US.

E1 and E2 US visas are granted to people from countries that have a treaty with the USA to trade and provide services. Most of the countries in Europe are a part of the treaty, as are most South American countries " excepting Brazil, Cuba, Guatemala and Ecuador. Several countries from Asia, Central America, the Middle East, and Africa are also a part of this treaty.

The E5 visa is referred to as the investor visa for America and as you can most likely guess from the name, it is for those who wish to invest money in the USA. The threshold amount to qualify for this visa is different in some states to others; however it is usually around $500,000. Some states require that you stay around and look after the day to day operations of the business you invested in, but not all of them. - 23305
