Choosing the right investor visa depends on several factors, including your investment amount, type of business, and country of origin.
There are several types of U.S. investor visas that a lawyer can help you with:
Each visa has its own requirements, processing times, and benefits. For example, the EB-5 provides a direct route to permanent residency, while the E-2 and E-1 offer temporary stays and are dependent on your country’s treaty status.
Yes, you can generally include your immediate family in your visa application if you are applying for either the EB-5 or E-2 visa.
For the EB-5 Visa, your spouse and unmarried children under 21 can obtain conditional permanent residency. The family will have the right to live, work, and attend school in the U.S., and will have a pathway to permanent residency.
For the E-2 Visa, your spouse and unmarried children under 21 can also join you. They can live and attend school in the U.S., and spouses of E-2 visa holders can apply for work authorization, allowing them to work legally in the country.
However, be aware of specific details and restrictions. Separate visa applications for family members are required, and spouses must apply for work authorization separately under the E-2 visa.
While it’s not a legal requirement to have a lawyer for your investor visa application, professional legal guidance is recommended due to the complicated nature of the application process.
