Business Immigration to the United States

The competition for getting an immigration visa in the United States is intense. For many people, business immigration to the United States through investment is the best option. The investment helps grow the economy while ensuring the investors have a place in the American market place.

The biggest advantage of the following visas is that they allow the immigrant to self-sponsor- meaning they will not need an employer to bring them to the United States. However, a key difference between the EB5 investor and the E2 investor is that the EB5 investor will obtain a green card whereas the E2 investor is in the United States on a temporary basis.
