Investment Visa
(E Visa)

Investing in a U.S. business is a nice way to get a visa to enter the U.S. on an E visa. Nationals of some countries can invest directly in the United States; nationals of other countries, such as Iran, have to be careful about where the money to be transferred to the United States comes from. You can invest in a business which is already in operation or in a new business. There is no minimum investment.


E Visa

 

Example Number One:
Mamad has enough money to invest in a small U.S. business. Fortunately, he has bank accounts in Abu Dhabi and Turkey which have generated enough money from interest that he can invest in a small U.S. business. He and his family get an E visa. The structure of the purchase will determine whether he and his family are eligible for green cards.

 

Example Number Two:
Manuela is a doctor who immigrated to England many years ago. She is tired of the rain in London and wants to move to sunny Texas. She has a friend with a doctor’s office in Houston. Her friend is happy to allow Manuela to invest money in his practice. Although Manuela cannot practice medicine by investing, Manuela and her family will be able to move to the U.S. on the basis of the investment.
