What does this mean for your clients? It means they must
go through one, simple additional step of citizenship by
investment in either Grenada or Turkey for example. Those
countries are E-2 treaty countries, and the E-2 visa can be
obtained immediately after these
passpor ts are secured. What ’s
more, only the applicant needs the
additional citizenship. Spouses and
children can be of any nationality.
Even with the additional step, the
E-2 visa will be less expensive and
faster than the EB-5. The E-2 visa is
an excellent alternative to the EB-5
in almost every case, regardless of
nationality, as long as the investor is
ok with the fact they never may get a
green card.
3. Do you have a minimum of $150,000 to invest in a new
business in the U.S.?
