- Q: Who should invest?
-
EB-5 investors include people from all walks of life; professionals, business people, persons wanting to facilitate a child's education, and retirees. Because the EB-5 visa permits employment in the US, many EB-5 investors become involved in charity or part time work. Simply put, the EB-5 visa gives you the flexibility to do what you want in the USA.
- If you don't want to actively manage your business, you should consider EB-5.
- If you have a US citizen parent or child over 21 years of age, you should consider family class visa categories.
- If you have exceptional skills or are famous you may qualify for a green card based on your skills or fame.
- If you want to manage your own business, consider L-1, E-2, international manager visa categories.
If your goal is to have a green card and not to actively manage a business, it is most often cheaper to utilize the EB-5 category rather than to start and maintain a business.
