The American equivalent of a Golden Visa is the EB5 Visa. It eliminates the need for employment and enables the owner to live, work, pursue education, and retire in the US.
To get a US EB-5 visa, you must invest a significant amount of money in the US. Therefore, this visa is suitable for extremely wealthy foreigners who are interested in obtaining a Green Card or American citizenship
You must spend at least $900,000 in a US company and generate at least 10 American jobs to be granted this visa.
You get a Green Card and are authorized to live in the US if you are qualified for the EB-5 Visa.
Your dependent family members may be listed on the application. This implies that your spouse and kids will also receive Green Cards.
Only 10,000 EB-5 Investment Visas are granted annually by the US. This extends to any visas granted to family members.
Following the completion of your investment, the following steps must be taken to apply for an EB-5 visa:
Utilizing Form I-526, which is essentially the Investment Visa application form, you submit your application to the USCIS. You should check the USCIS website as they can change the location where you must mail the form.
Following assessment, the USCIS forwards the application to the National Visa Center (NVC).
The NVC contacts you and requests the necessary payments and submission of the necessary paperwork. You can find out where and how to pay the fee from the NVC.
At the US Embassy, you apply for an immigrant visa and attend an interview. The NVC will let you know where, when, and what documents you need to bring for the interview.
If all goes as planned, your Immigrant Investor Visa will be issued by the US Embassy (i.e. the two-year Green Card).
If you are already a resident of the US, you must apply for a change of status (Form I-485) through the USCIS rather than the US Embassy.
The USCIS will ask you to provide evidence that your investment satisfies their requirements when you apply for an EB-5 visa. The paperwork you must provide includes:
