It would be no exaggeration to say that no country in the world is considered as desirable to live in the United States of America. The economy of the United States is the strongest in the world – by far: the U.S GDP represents an astonishing 22% of the global GDP.

The strong and stable economy, which makes the U.S an ideal destination for investors, is also buoyed by the US dollar serving as the world’s primary reserve currency – a sure sign of stability and respect. In addition, a survey of all OECD countries revealed that Americans enjoy the highest average household income in the world.

However, it is not only in economic terms that the United States is a land of opportunity. As a U.S resident, you will have the choice of sending your children to public or state school that follows internationally recognized curriculum and will ensure your children receive a good education and globally recognized qualifications.The U.S healthcare system, with cutting edge technology and sophisticated training programs is amongst the most advanced in the world, and it is no surprise that the country is a top destination for medical tourism.

More traditional tourism opportunities are not limited in the U.S. either – from global cities like New York and Los Angeles, to the stunning landscapes at Yellowstone Park and the Grand Canyon, the plentiful travel opportunities in the united states cover everything from the nature of beauty to the best of culinary culture and entertainment. With it’s long tradition of welcoming travelers and settlers from all cultures and backgrounds, the United States is a country that has learnt to accept and celebrate diversity, and you will find it easy to make your home in this multicultural melting pot of cultures.

The investment must come from lawful means and can be in the form of cash, cash equivalents (such as certificates of deposit, treasury bonds, or other instruments that can be converted readily into cash), equipment, inventory, other tangible property, or indebtedness secured by assets owned by the alien provided that he or she is personally and primarily liable and the assets of the new commercial enterprise are not used to secure any of the indebtedness. Multiple investors may establish a new commercial enterprise which can be the basis for the EB-5 classification. However, each investor must meet the requirements for the EB-5 classification separately; that is, each investor must create 10 jobs for U.S. workers.
It is not simply enough to offer to invest in the U.S. to get a Green Card. Although the funds are appreciated, there are still specific requirements that need to be met in order to obtain an EB-5 visa. Since there is a lot of paperwork involved, applicants for this visa will often enlist the help of a legal immigration professional who has the knowledge of how to present an application package to convince immigration officers of an investor’s merit.
