Citizenship in the USA is a dream of many millions of people all over the world and despite the huge number of people who are granted citizenship every year, there is still a waiting list that will take around a decade to clear, and the applications keep coming in thick and fast.nnOne of the primary reasons why there is such a demand for US visas (and later on for immigration) is because of the sobriquet America has earned ” of being the land of opportunity. People from all corners of the globe harbor a desire of getting into this land and starting a business.nnHowever many people are unaware that there is a visa available for people intending to invest within the country, for which the preparation and waiting time is considerably shorter than the others.nnThere are two main ways of obtaining an investor visa for the US.nnE1 and E2 investor visas are granted to those who live in a country that has a treaty with the US to provide trade and services with one another. Most countries in Europe are under this treaty as are most countries in South America, except Brazil, Cuba, Guatemala and Ecuador. Several countries in the Middle East, Africa and Asia are also under this treaty.nnThe E5is known as the investor visa for the USA, and as you can probably guess, is it given to people who want to invest money in the USA. The threshold amount you need to invest to qualify varies from state to state, however it is usually around $500,000. In some states, it is required that the investor stays onto oversee the day to day operations of the business they have invested in, but not in all of them.
