How to invest in immigrants in the United States

1. Direct investment in resettlement projects

According to the US immigration law, the US direct investment immigration program requires applicants to invest US$ 6,543,800+in the whole United States or US$ 500,000 in "high unemployment areas" or "remote areas" in the United States. According to American immigration law, the target employment area refers to areas with high unemployment rate, rural areas, suburbs outside the administrative planning of urban areas, and areas with a population of at least 20,000, all of which only need to invest 500,000 US dollars. More than 10 jobs must be created.

1. Invest in acquiring existing enterprises.

According to the law, this existing enterprise must be established after1990165438+1October 29th.

Investors who immigrate to the United States must reorganize or rebuild this existing enterprise to make it a new enterprise. If only the owner of the enterprise is changed, some external decorations of the business place are changed, or new marketing strategies are adopted, it is not enough to prove that investors have transformed the existing enterprises into new ones.

However, the immigration law does not clearly stipulate what degree of reorganization or reconstruction is acceptable, so we need experience with a good grasp of the scale. One thing is clear, that is to hire ten full-time workers.

2. Create a brand-new business enterprise.

And must meet the conditions of recruiting 10 American workers and investing 10 million dollars. This is the most direct and clear investment method for American investment immigrants.

3. Expand existing enterprises.

Such an existing enterprise must also be established after1990165438+1October 29th.

Investors who apply for investment immigration should expand their enterprises to a certain scale according to law. Specifically, the net assets of enterprises increase by 40%, or the number of employees of enterprises increases by 40%. However, the requirement of employing 65,438+00 full-time American workers still needs to be met.

Regional center project

In order to attract foreign investment in the areas approved by the government's special plans and effectively promote the development of the local economy.

Since 1993, the U.S. government has set up a "regional center immigration project" in EB-5 immigration regulations, that is, investors can invest in "regional centers" approved by the U.S. government, and the amount of investment applied for immigration can be reduced to 500,000 U.S. dollars, relaxing the stipulation that "ten jobs must be created directly" in the original immigration application conditions to "can be directly or indirectly". This also reduces many restrictions on applicants.

3. Venture capital projects

Applicants who apply for investment immigration can also use a special investment method, which is used by the United States to encourage investors to invest in some problematic enterprises.

That is, applicants for investment immigration can invest in some loss-making enterprises, which must have existed for at least two years and meet the requirements of American investment immigrants for loss-making enterprises, that is, within one to two years before applying for investment immigration, the net loss of enterprises is equivalent to 20% of the net assets of enterprises. If investors who apply for investment immigration have invested in such enterprises, they need to keep the number of existing employees at this level for at least two years before applying for investment immigration to the United States. Of course, as such investment immigrants, there is no need to hire 10 people.
