Immigration and Investment
United States Immigration for Investors
Sukkar, Arevalo & Associates
Many international businessmen and investors have been misled to believe that the only way to become U.S. permanent residents—"Green Card holders"—is to invest at least half a million dollars in the U.S through the EB-5 program.
This is not true.
The EB-5 category is only one way of obtaining residency but is rather complex and costly and should be offered to only those businessmen and investors who DO NOT own businesses overseas.
How we can help
Our firm qualifies businessmen who own small, medium or large businesses overseas and who seek to branch out to the U.S. either through opening a wholly owned subsidiary of their foreign business in the U.S. or through investing in a 50-50 joint venture with a U.S. partner. Through the establishment of a qualified new business or purchasing fifty percent of a qualified existing business, ANY business owner can obtain a work visa and residency for far less than the half a million dollars required under the EB-5 visas.
If you own a business overseas and seek to open a branch or enter into a joint venture in the U.S. with another business, you could qualify for a work visa and permanent residency "Green Card" in the U.S.
YOUR primary goal as an intending immigrant is not only to make sure that you are qualified for immigration but ALSO, to ensure that you are not taken advantage of by business owners who end up selling you a failing business.
Our firm can protect you from such fraudulent schemes that would cause you to lose your capital investment or life savings by reviewing the documents and records of the business or venture in which you intend to invest BEFORE you sign any contracts or invest any amount of money.
