Immigrant Investor VISA - The E (b)-5 Visa Process

Did you know that permanent resident status based on EB-5 eligibility is available to investors, either alone, or with their spouse and unmarried children? Under Section 203(b)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 10,000 immigrant visas per year are available to qualified individuals seeking permanent resident status on the basis of their engagement in a new or existing commercial enterprise.

Eligibility is available for those aliens who "have invested or are actively in the process of investing" the required amount of capital towards (1) a new commercial business enterprise, (2) the purchase of an existing business, or (3) the expansion of an existing business. The individual must also demonstrate that the investment will benefit the United States economy and either create new jobs or maintain existing jobs. Permanent resident status becomes available after the successful completion of a two-year conditional residence status.

The purchase of a gas station business will qualify you for this path to U. S. permanent resident status.

For those aliens already lawfully residing in the U.S., you may qualify for an adjustment of your status to permanent resident with this type of investment. To determine whether you qualify for either of these options please download and complete our informal inquiry form or seek additional information at www.uscis.gov. Go to the forms page for form I-526. A free eligibility assessment form can be located at www.visabureau.com. Go to Business Visas, click on Investor EB-5.

After completing the assessment, please contact us for more information on the gas station businesses ventures that can qualify for EB (5) Visa.
