What is the cost of investment immigration in the United States? I have to do this recently.

Employment business 5, referred to as "eb5" visa immigration: the minimum investment of eb-5 special economic zone project in the United States is only $500,000.

Investment immigration project refers to eb-5, the immigrant visa category in American immigration law, referred to as eb-5 for short. EB-5 (Employment Based Fifth Preference) is an immigration category established by American immigration law for overseas investment immigrants. Since the establishment of 1990, this category has been revised for the second time, and now it has become a convenient channel with the shortest application time and the least qualification restrictions among all immigrant categories.

This kind of investment threshold is generally set at $654.38+00,000. If the investment target is located in a low-employment area that meets the national statistics, this investment threshold can be reduced to 500,000 US dollars. Foreign immigrant applicants can get a two-year conditional green card if they invest 6,543,800+0,000 or 500,000 US dollars in enterprises in the United States and create ten employment opportunities. 90 days before the expiration of the two-year period, if the investment behavior and created employment opportunities still exist, investors can apply to cancel the conditions and become permanent residents.

The application conditions are the most relaxed

Eb-5 sets quite relaxed qualification conditions for investment immigrants. Applicants do not need to be restricted by any business background, age, education level or language ability, as long as they can prove that their investment funds are legal. Moreover, this fund is not limited to what you get through your own efforts, but also can be obtained through inheritance or donation. Another major feature of this immigration category is "family immigration", that is, investors and their spouses and unmarried children under 2 1 can apply for immigration at the same time.

Generally speaking, qualified applicants can know whether their application has been accepted by the US Immigration Service in about two months after preparing and submitting the materials, and get an immigrant visa within six to eight months. Their families will move to any state in the United States where they want to live and enjoy a new life with the same rights and interests as American citizens. In the first three months after the expiration of two years, apply to remove the green card conditions and become a formal permanent resident. Another feature of this immigrant visa is that investors can not only freely enter and leave the United States during the period of holding a conditional green card, but also be free from immigration supervision; Therefore, if investors need to take care of their career in their country of origin, they can choose not to live in the United States for a long time without affecting their immigration status.

At present, the US government issues 65,438+00,000 eb-5 visas every year, of which 5,000 will be reserved for investors who choose to invest in "regional centers".

What are the risks of eb-5 project?

Eb-5 project is particularly important in project selection, because it cooperates with local American companies to invest in enterprises. After success, you will get a conditional green card for two years. If the enterprise invested by the applicant closes down within two years or fails to meet the employment requirements, the applicant will not only lose the investment money, but also lose his identity.
