Treaty Investor

Treaty Investor visa requires a substantial amount of investment into real, operating business in the US. The investor needs to have the control of funds and the investment should be substantial i.e. it should be able generate a substantially larger amount of income than just what would be enough for the investor and his family to live.

Employment Based Investment Visas


This is a new category of investment visas for persons making an investment of US $ one million or more and creating full time employment for ten or more US workers. Investments of less than one million dollars also could be acceptable in rural or certain targeted areas of employment.
