Business Bridge Asia partners with the U.S. Customs and Immigration Service-certified South Texas Regional Center to help Asia-Pacific investors apply for EB-5 and E-2 visas to the United States.
The U.S. government offers two paths for foreign investors to invest with American companies and earn a green card. This is not a donation, but a profitable investment. Foreign investors lend money to certified U.S. companies in job-producing industries, with low risk and normal rates of return between 4 and 8 percent annually.
Current law allows investors to put in as little as $300,000 U.S. Dollars, with additional funding arranged by the South Texas Regional Center.
The U.S. Government uses the EB-5 and E-2 visas as a means to attract wealthy foreigners and their families to live in the U.S., plus attract investment money into companies that create jobs for Americans. There is no catch for investors or the U.S.-businesses seeking capital, although the application process can be complex and lengthy.
