Some Information On The Investment Green Card

By Dan Overmeyer


There is an immigration program that was set up by Congress in 1990. It is an employment based Visa, 5th preference, that is that is also referred to as the Investment Green Card. The only requirement needed to obtain this Visa is that a person invests in a commercial type business that will immediately or in the near future employ at least 10 people.

This has proven to be a very popular program over the past 20 years, and the word of this is still spreading. A little over 800 immigrant business owners per month from all over the world have taken part of this program. This not only helps improve their quality of life, but it helps the local, regional and national economies as well. Everyone directly or indirectly benefits from this.

There are many benefits to the foreign investors as well, such as no language requirement. By easing this requirement it is easier to simply transfer or build onto an existing business in a foreign country over here in the U. S. By not having to learn a new language, the business owner can put more of his focus into his business.

There is no minimum educational requirement to be met either. It is understood that a business owner anywhere will have the education needed to do run a business. This is yet another piece of red tape that has been cut out of the process.

There is also an incentive to invest in a business that will be put in an economically depressed part of a city. The owner of the company would only have to invest $500,000 in his or her company. The reason for this is that the area needs more jobs than the other areas around it.

If they do not choose to do this, they would have to put out $1,000,000 to start there business here. Regardless of the location though, this is a program that benefits everyone. It is also good that the whole family of the investor gets Green Cards as well.
