If you are a recent immigrant to the United States or plan to emigrate here, you may want to stay abreast of any potential changes to American immigration laws. Some updated information is available for those concerned with their immigration status.
Understanding the golden visa
If you are not a citizen of the United States, you must hold a visa to legally be able to make a home and earn a living here. Golden visas can be extended to those from countries with ongoing special relationships with the USA.
Those visa holders are able to earn a living and legally reside in the USA. They can take full advantage of the American education and health care systems.
Who can qualify for golden visas?
Certainly not everyone who seeks to emigrate to the United States. There are stringent conditions that must be met, two of which are investing a minimum amount of money in companies they bring to underserved areas and creating at least 10 jobs for the nation’s workers.
There is inherent risk
Passive investments do not count toward golden visa requirements. The job creators must actively own and operate a business here in the USA. They must also maintain a presence and live here the stipulated amount of time to maintain your visa status.
There are other requirements to meet in order to be granted your golden visa. These are just a few in a system that routinely adjusts its laws and policies.
Act now; don’t wait
By working together with professionals who know and understand immigration law, you can gain a firmer footing in your quest for a golden visa.
