Residence by Investment in the USA

The United States of America remains one of the most desired destinations for migrants and investors from all over the world. The USA has a complex immigration system, and in each instance, it is warranted to assess the individual situation thoroughly in order to establish the immigration route offering the best chances.

There are interesting residence possibilities for investors that allow immigration to the country. Under the US EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, you may be granted permanent resident status (a ‘green card’) within a short period of time.

Regional Center Program

A certain number of visas are set aside for individuals who apply under the Regional Center Program. There are a number of designated ‘regional centers’ in the USA, each with its own distinct industry and geographic focus. Under this program, applicants usually invest USD 800,000 into one of the designated regional center projects, thereby becoming a limited partner in that regional center's new enterprise.

The main benefit of this option is that investors may rely on indirect job creation rather than directly hiring 10 employees. Moreover, the day-to-day management of the investment is facilitated by the regional centers so that the applicant is free to live and work anywhere in the USA.

There are no requirements as to age, language, or past business experience in order to qualify. Applicants, however, must have a net worth in excess of USD 1 million and proof must be provided that their funds come from legal sources.

Henley & Partners can advise and assist international clients with the selection of the most suitable regional center and handle applications.

Citizenship

After five years of legal residence from the date of receipt of the conditional green card, it is possible to acquire USA citizenship and to obtain a passport, giving the holder the protection of the most powerful country in the world. There are four ways to acquire USA citizenship: by birth in the USA or in USA territories (jus soli), by birth outside the USA to USA parents, and by naturalization.
