The Benefits
The investor visa program offers a range of benefits. Below are some of the key benefits.
Live and work anywhere in the United States
You can live and work anywhere in the United States with resident status. This allows you to work in states that do not have a state income tax, such as Texas, Florida and Wyoming.
Your family also benefits
The principal investor can add family members to their application, such as their spouse and children under 21. Those family members also become residents and can take advantage of the same benefits.
Return on your investment
While the primary purpose of an EB-5 investment is to secure residency, it can also lead to profits. This is not a benefit offered by all residency by investment programs.
Access to world-class education
Residents have access to the United States public school system. Not only that, but they also benefit from lower University fees at world-class institutions such as Harvard, Stanford and Cal Tech.
Path to citizenship
You are eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship after five years of permanent residency. Doing so will grant you a U.S. passport which allows visa-free travel to over 180 countries.
International students & other visas immediately adjust
The EB-5 visa allows international students and other temporary visas to immediately adjust visa status upon submission of the EB5 petition. This allows students and other visa holders to remain in the US, travel in and out of the US, and even work until the EB5 visa is approved.
Why is the USA a popular immigration choice?
The United States boasts the world’s largest economy and welcomes millions of migrants every year.
The country has long been viewed as the land of opportunity and is one of the best places for businesses to thrive. This is an important factor, considering EB5 Visas require direct investments in companies.
In their latest Doing Business report, the World Bank ranked the United States as the 6th best to do business globally.
A separate report by the Harvard Business Review found the U.S. to be the best country for digital companies.
