We have broken down and simplified the complex and bureaucratic process of applying for a visa into a six step process:

• Step 1. Initial meeting – In this meeting we will discuss your investment needs and walk you through the various options that we have available.
• Step 2. Pre-qualification with attorney – We will introduce you to our preferred attorney network. They will review your criteria to see what option works best for acquiring a visa.
• Step 3. The application process – This process usually takes between 60-90 days for an E2 visa and approximately 8 months to acquire an EB5 visa.
• Step 4. Transfer of funds – USCIS requires the funds to be transferred in escrow in the U.S. before they will approve of the visas. The funds will be refunded if you are unable to secure a visa.
• Step 5. Establishing and guiding you through your new business – Our business orientation will consist of extensive training from members of our staff on how to manage and operate a successful business.

E2 visa program is a nonimmigrant visa program that does not directly lead to a green card. With an increased investment over the years to satisfy the EB5 visa category, an immigrant status visa and a green card is possible. The processing time for E-2 visas is generally between two and four weeks from the filing of the application, however, it may take longer in some Consular posts. This may vary depending upon the work load in the U.S. Consulate you choose to apply to. Your dependents may attend U.S. schools, colleges and universities, and they do not have to apply for separate student visa such as an F-1 visa.

The USCIS defines an E-2 investment as the investor’s placing of capital, including funds and other assets, at risk in the commercial sense with the objective of generating a profit. Your investment may be for the purpose of establishing a new business venture or purchasing a pre-existing business. In either scenario, you must demonstrate that the capital you are investing is substantial. There are 5 main requirements put forth by the USCIS, which we establish to help you with your application.

Requirement 1:
As a treaty investor, you must be coming to the United States to invest in a new or existing enterprise.

Requirement 2:
Your investment must be in a bona fide enterprise and may not be marginal.

Requirement 3:
You must be in possession of the funds you will invest and the funds must be committed to your business.

Requirement 4:
You must be able to provide the source of your funding.

Requirement 5:
You must be coming to the United States to develop and direct the enterprise.

This visa and leads to a green card provided all the conditions are met. Also, your spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21 may be admitted to the U.S. with you on a two-year conditional period. If your petition to remove conditions is approved, the conditions will be removed from your spouse and children’s Green Card status. As a lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder), your spouse and children will be authorized to work or attend school in the U.S. All EB5 applicants will have access to our management services, which have outperformed other multifamily properties throughout the U.S. time and time again.
