EB-5 Visas
E2 Visas
What is the Minimum Investment for EB5 Visas?
For EB-5 visas, the minimum investment required for “targeted employment areas” is $500,000. This includes most regional center projects. Targeted areas are considered rural or geographical areas that have an unemployment rate of at least 150% of the national average rate. For investments that are outside of this area, the minimum amount will likely be $1 million. It is important to understand your specific situation so that you can make sure you are prepared to invest properly.
Benefits of Each Visa
Are There Certain Benefits Involved in E2 Visas
When employees have an E2 visa, they get to enjoy certain privileges and benefits. Some of these include the ability to travel freely in and out of the U.S. during the time of their visa, the ability to bring their dependents, spouse, or accompanying relatives with them while in the U.S.
Furthermore, the spouse may be allowed to work in the states during your stay. The employee also gets to stay on a prolonged basis with unlimited extensions, so long as they still meet the E2 qualifications.
