There are many types of visas for which you can apply. One of the little known types is the Investor Visa. The Investor Visa is a visa that is provided by the United States for an individual that makes a qualifying investment. The Investor Visa is a programme that was established in 1990. The Investor Visa has two programmes – one with a requirement of a one million-dollar investment and one with a half-million investment price as well as providing ten new work positions of employment in the US for either programme. This can be through establishment of a new business or by purchasing and expanding a current one. The Investor Visa process is very strictly regimented by the USCIS (”US Citizenship and Immigration Services”).
The Investor Visa not only ensures employment for the person who is submitting for the visa but at the same time allows for additional employment opportunities for others. This creation of jobs is a boost to the economy. Getting an Investor Visa provides permanent residency for the applicant and immediate family. There are 10,000 available Investors’ Visas per year. To apply for an Investor Visa you must petition by filing a form called “Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur”. You will also need to submit the necessary supporting documentation to show your business as well as financial summary and assets. The application for an investor Visa is reviewed by the USCIS. Each application for an Investor Visa is reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Anyone interested in applying for an Investor Visa should review the information online.
