Live the American Dream and move to the U.S., a cultural melting pot with a thriving economy, a wealth of opportunities, and one of the highest standards of living anywhere on the globe.

Why Choose the USA?

Known the world over as the land of opportunity, the United States of America boasts a rich and diverse culture, one of the strongest currencies in the world, and one of the most sought-after passports on the planet. Through the USA EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, investors can enjoy a host of exclusive benefits:

• No language skills required.
• No minimum education required.
• No business or managerial experience required.
• Investment capital can come from a gift, inheritance, business ownership or any other lawful activity.
• No obligation to live in the area of investment.
• The opportunity to live, work and study anywhere in the U.S. and benefit from lower tuition fees.
• Inclusion of dependent children under the age of 21.

About the Program

The EB-5 visa gives permanent U.S. residency to those investing into government-approved projects across the United States of America. The USA investment visa can be beneficial as it grants access to the U.S. education system, the right to live, retire, work and study in the USA, the ability to receive investment back upon the completion of the project and residency for the investor, any children (under 21) and their spouse. The main applicant must reside in the USA for 6 months per year.

The Regional Center Program also known as the Immigrant Investor Program requires investment of $1 million or a reduced $500,000 if the investment is in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA).  This sets aside EB-5 visas for participants who invest in commercial enterprises associated with regional centers approved by USCIS based on proposals for promoting economic growth. In particular, the investment must be “at risk” and shown to create 10 full time US jobs for two years. Many of the EB5 projects are real estate related. All such investments are packaged involving minimal investor participation.

Proof of the funds being legally acquired must be given, the investment must be “at risk” and the investor must have no prior criminal record.
