As many of you already know, the most important thing for a foreigner to do for immigrating to a new country is to invest in that country. In the U.S., it is very easy for investors to get an investor visa called EB5. The cost of EB5 visa for Indian nationals is quite affordable, especially when compared to other countries like Canada and Australia.

If you’re an entrepreneur and want to start a new business in the United States, your best bet is to go through the Immigrant Investor Program or EB5 visa category. This allows a person to enter the U.S. for two years and live there with their spouse and any children under 21 years of age (under 24 if the student is in full-time higher education). The applicant must also confirm that they have at least $1,000,000 or $500,000 if they are from a rural area or high unemployment area in the U.S.

The E-5 Investment Visa, or Non-Immigrant Investor Visa, allows a foreign national to invest into a qualifying business in the United States and obtain permanent residence (a Green Card).

Cost Of Eb 5 Visa For Indian

An EB-5 visa can be obtained by an individual investor with a net worth of $1,000,000 and United States citizens who invest at least $500,000 in a new commercial enterprise that will create at least 10 qualified U.S. jobs.

Would you like to get permanent resident status in the United States? If so, you may consider applying for a Green Card under the EB-5 Regional Center Program.
