Description
The United States has several different investor visas for people who want to start or buy a business. This webinar will summarise the different types of investor visas and the related requirements. An E-2 visa is perfect for an individual that wants to buy or start a business with a small investment. The visa can be obtained with an investment of under $100,000 if the business plans to hire 3 employees. The EB-5 direct investment green card requires an investment of at least $500,000 and you must create 10 full-time jobs. The webinar will also explain the International Entrepreneur Parole program (IEP) and how the National Interest Waiver green card can be used for entrepreneurs. Other investor options will also be explored. Finally, we will also review the requirements to move from an E-2 or other visa to an investor based green card.
