If you’re an investor/entrepreneur who is looking to expand your business or make an investment in the USA on an non-immigrant status, then E-2 visa is the pathway for you. You can live, work & start a business in the USA with the E-2 Visa. Most important requirement for obtaining this visa is that you have to make a substantial investment in the business that you are expanding or incorporating.
- It is a non-immigrant visa on an investment basis for investors, entrepreneurs and people seeking to operate a business in the USA.
- You can legally start a business in the USA.
- You can legally invest in a business.
- You can work for your business in the USA.
- E2 Visa is only available for people from certain countries who have a treaty with the USA. See the list of treaty countries given below on the page.
- As long as the E2 Visa linked business is operating, you can renew your visa innumerable times but it should also be parallel with the E2 Visa requisites.
What are the benefits? - Operate, live, work for the business that is qualified in your E2 Visa.
- Unmarried children under the age of 21 years and your spouse are also qualified for the visa along with you.
- You children are entitled to go to a US School.
- Spouses can apply for work-authorization in the US.
- You have to ensure that you are investing a substantial amount in the business which can be as low as $100,000 or even low sometimes.

EB-5 is a United States visa program, created by U.S. Congress in 1990, that enables foreign investors to obtain a permanent U.S. Visa by investing in a business that will benefit the U.S. economy and create jobs.
The EB5 visa gives permanent residency to those investing $800,000 or $1.05M cost in a new business that creates 10 full-time jobs for Americans across the United States of America. The investor visa can be beneficial as it grants access to the Permanent Residency of the United States for not just the applicant but for the immediate family as well. An immediate family would mean the applicant and applicant’s spouse and unmarried children below the age of 21 years.
Green Card by Investment
The EB-5 Visa is a Green card through investment. Investors are given a temporary green card after two years. 10,000 applications are available per year. 5,000 of these is reserved for investments through the regional centers. Success rate for the EB-5 is quite high and generally depends on the investment type, personal situation, legal representation and regional center. The E2 Visa offers residency through substantial investment in a business. It is not a direct path to USA Green card.
It is known as a Citizenship by Investment Program and is often abbreviated as CBI. We will guide you through the main requirements, costs, steps, and benefits of obtaining a second passport. The Grenada CIP is one of the newest programs in the Caribbean launched in August 2013. As an applicant, you must be at least 18 years of age, of good character and without a criminal record. Additionally, you are required to make a nonrefundable donation to the National Transformation Fund or make an investment in government approved real estate projects.
To qualify for the Grenada Citizenship by Investment program, there are two investment options to choose from.
- The first option is a minimum nonrefundable contribution of $150,000 to the National Transformation Fund.
- The second option is a minimum investment of $220,000 in government approved real estate projects. The property can be resold after a required holding period of five years. In addition to the minimum investment, there are government processing fees and professional fees that apply to both options.
To get the most updated and detailed cost, you can book a free consultation with one of our expert consultants by applying on our website.
The process of obtaining the Grenada Citizenship by Investment consists of five steps over a period of four to six months.
Process:- Step One: We will do an initial background check to make sure you are qualified to apply to the program. If you pass the qualification process, a down payment of our professional fees is required to start working on your application and move to the next step.
- Step Two: Our team will assist you with the collection of all documents required by the government.
- Step Three: Once the documents are collected, we will submit your application and at the same time, you are required to pay the government fees.
- If you decide to invest in real estate, a reservation of your chosen property must be made at this time.
- Step Four: Once the government has approved your application, you are invited to pay the nonrefundable contribution or finalize your property purchase.
- Step Five: Your citizenship certificate and passport are issued by the government. At this time, the balance of our professional fees will be settled and your new citizenship documents will be delivered to you.
Now, for the right candidates, this can be a phenomenal option to come to the United States and work in the United States for your startup company. This is a special immigration option for entrepreneurs that are working for a startup company. Here is the proper thesis about the benefits of this program, the requirements, and how somebody can go about extending their stay under the International Entrepreneur Parole Program.
- This is a special rule that allows the Department of Homeland Security to use its parole authority to grant a period of authorized stay to foreign entrepreneurs on a case by case basis who demonstrate that their status in the US would provide a significant public benefit.
- So we want to point out that the International Entrepreneur Parole Program is not a visa. It’s a special parole authority by the Department of Homeland Security to grant a period of authorized stay.
- Through the International Entrepreneur Parole Program, an entrepreneur who satisfies the requirements can come to the US and be eligible to work for their startup business in the US.
- Another important point, the spouse and children of the entrepreneur can also get parole to come to the US, and the spouse can apply for work authorization once in the US.
So now that we discussed what the International Entrepreneur Parole Program is, let’s talk about what the benefits are of the International Entrepreneur Parole Program.
- This is another option for foreign entrepreneurs to be able to come to the US to work for their own business. We have options already like the E2 Visa, the L1 Visa, and various other options for entrepreneurs. But this is yet another way for foreign entrepreneurs to come to the US and work in the US.
- Another benefit is that the International Entrepreneur Parole Program doesn’t require an investment from the entrepreneur the same way that other programs require, such as the E2 Visa.
- The International Entrepreneur Parole program does not require an investment by the entrepreneur.
- Another benefit of this program is that it allows the spouse of the entrepreneur to apply for and potentially get work authorization to work in the United States.
- Additionally, this program allows the children of the entrepreneur to also get parole to come to the United States, and they are authorized, if they qualify, to attend school in the US.
- Another benefit is that this initial period of parole can initially be granted for two and a half years, and it can also be renewed for an additional two and a half years, giving the entrepreneur up to five years of stay in the United States.
- Another major benefit of the International Entrepreneur Parole Program is that through this program, up to three entrepreneurs can come to the United States under this program to work for the same startup company. So this program isn’t just limited to one entrepreneur per startup company.
