EB-5: La Visa del Millón de Dólares

EB-5: La Visa del Millón de Dólares

El propósito del programa de visas EB-5 es promover la inmigración de personas que puedan crear empleos para trabajadores americanos mediante su inversión de capital en la economía americana.

Para obtener la residencia a través del programa EB-5, existen dos requisitos básicos:

  • Realizar la inversión necesaria en una empresa comercial en los Estados Unidos; y
  • Tener planes para crear y preservar 10 empleos permanentes de tiempo completo para trabajadores estadounidenses calificados.

 

 

Para obtener una Visa EB-5 a través de Inversión Directa, el monto necesario a invertir es de $1,000,000 de dólares o al menos $500,000 dólares en un Área de Empleo Focalizada. La inversión debe crear al menos 10 empleos de tiempo completo para trabajadores estadounidenses.

Un área de empleo focalizada es un área que, al tiempo de la inversión, es rural o con una tasa de desempleo de al menos una tasa del 150 por ciento más del promedio nacional.

Un área rural es cualquier área fuera de un área metropolitana estadística (según la designación de la Oficina de Administración y Presupuesto) o fuera de los límites de cualquier ciudad o poblado con 20,000 o más habitantes, de acuerdo al censo decenal.

El dinero de la inversión puede ser utilizado para comenzar un nuevo negocio o adquirir un negocio estadounidense existente. Si elige adquirir un negocio existente, debe ser reestructurado o reorganizado de forma tal que resulte una nueva entidad empresarial, o ser expandido mediante la inversión de manera que ocurra un incremento del 40 por ciento al valor total de la empresa o se creen 10 empleos de tiempo completo adicionales. Cada empleo debe proveer un mínimo de 35 horas de trabajo por semana para trabajadores que sean ciudadanos estadounidenses, residentes legales permanentes u otros inmigrantes con permiso legal de trabajo en los Estados Unidos. El inversionista, su cónyuge o hijos no cuentan para el mínimo de 10 empleos creados. Los no-inmigrantes también son excluidos.

 

De forma alterna, puede invertir mediante un Centro Regional EB-5. Un Centro Regional es – un vehículo de inversión administrado por un tercero, que asume la responsabilidad de operar la inversión y crear los 10 empleos requeridos. Existen diferentes Centros Regionales en los Estados Unidos y cada uno tiene diferentes proyectos y requisitos para el inversionista.

Recientemente, los Centros Regionales se han vuelto más grandes, cubriendo estados completos e incluso expandiéndose en varios estados. El beneficio de un Centro Regional es que la creación indirecta de empleos también cuenta.

Después de que el inversionista determine el vehículo mediante el cual realizará su inversión y comprometa los fondos, puede ingresar su formato de petición I-526. Si éste es aprobado, el inversionista recibirá estatus condicional de residente permanente por un periodo de dos años. El mayor obstáculo que enfrentan los inversionistas en la etapa del I-526 es comprobar la legalidad de los fondos invertidos.

Entre 21 y 24 meses después de emitida la residencia permanente, el inversionista puede ingresar un formato I-829 con la USCIS para eliminar el estatus condicional.

 

Existe un tope anual de 10,000 visas que podrán emitirse bajo el programa EB-5. Revise el boletín actual AQUÍ.

 

La visa EB-5 está disponible no sólo para el inversionista, sino también para su cónyuge e hijos solteros menores a 21 años. El límite anual aplica tanto para el inversionista como para el cónyuge e hijos. Adicionalmente, si la cuota anual de 10,000 visas se ha alcanzado, no más del 7% de todas las visas EB-5 podrán ser emitidas a inmigrantes de un solo país en un año determinado.

  • We consulted Angela after trying 3 different lawyers to help us adjust status for my mother. We never saw results with either of the previous lawyers so we kept searching for someone that could actually help us with my mom’s situation. She was able to adjust status in about 1 years or so. She received her work authorization within 6 months of her taking her case. In mid August she finally had her interview and was approved. She took a vacation right away to visit family that she had not seen in about 15 years. My family and I are very thankful with her for all the good work she did. Everyone in her office is very friendly, they make you feel like you are at home. Thank you so much Angela for the time and effort you put into helping our family.

  • “Angela took me by the hand literally from the slums of asylum to being a Legal permanent resident of The United States! It was a journey that I was so glad we went on together. She’s very thorough, patient, kind, and FUNNY. Ahh, I love her! She’s the very best and I 100% recommend her for all your immigration needs.” -SG

  • “I would like to thank Angela and her team for helping me and my family with our asylum case. After meeting 5 immigration attorneys Angela was the best! My immigration process journey was a rough one. but Angela was always there for us. She assisted me on every level and beyond. Angela is a very passionate, knowledgeable, strong attorney, who is always on top of her game. She is a very optimistic, caring and empowering person, who became a mentor to me. She would spend hours and days with me when I was having an anxiety attack over my upcoming asylum interview. She made sure I was ready and I was OK both physically and emotionally. I believe some people had suffered from PTSD and having trouble recalling all the dark memories of your life. She suggested I see a psychologist which made a big change in my life (a good change). Not only that Angela went with me to my interview where she supported me both physically and emotionally which, to be honest, made a HUGE difference, having somebody whom you knew and trust. Angela will help you to find help and support you need, she will guide you thru all your process. After all, what we have been through my life is so much better and happier, because we were lucky to find a great attorney! Once again Thank you!” -T.B.

  • “Very good lawyer with professional business standards.”  A.Y.

  • “My friend recommended Angela and I called her about a serious immigration issue my brother was facing.  She was incredibly helpful and took the time and effort to answer all my questions and address my concerns.  Angela was knowledgeable and honest and during an especially stressful time for my family she was a godsend.  I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing an immigration attorney.” – L.H.

  • “Angela has the best service in this field, she is quick to response and her work is 110% she is the best deal you can get in immigration matters, she really cares about her clients and explaines so well legal complications regarding each case I recomnend her 110% Angela is the best one in LA!!” – O.L.

  • “Angela was our lucky charm; if she’s an object it would be the lucky cat figure you find waving at you, all smiles in every counter of businesses. Angela has been such an important person in our lives, winning my ICE case/USCIS adjustment of status from Sep 2014-Sep 2017 (3 years). Thank you for your kindness and very professional service with regards to our case. Angela have made my wife, my mom and loved ones welcome, at home and family oriented. I have nothing much to say but high regards to the woman who is trustworthy, made us laugh, comfortable in our interviews, on time with our appointments,all the way full support and most importantly pass our test interviews with flying colors. We will definitely recommend The Law Office of Angela Suh to anyone and I guarantee you will have success. God Bless us all.”  R.R.

  • ‘I was recommended by a friend to use Angela Suh for my immigration issues that I was having. The attorney I had before Angela was a nightmare, the experience I had with him was just disgusting, getting to speak to him was IMPOSSIBLE, he had no work ethics no concern, the only thing he was concerned was if his fees were paid in full, long story short, I hope no one ever should have to go thru what I went thru with my last attorney. Then I get to speak to Angela on the phone for the first time, I just can’t express the kind of relief I felt with just our first conversation, she made me feel so comfortable, and most importantly she wanted to hear my concerns, I was on the phone with her for over 45 minutes and when we were done talking I was so relieved, it gave me a peace of mind with my immigration issues I was facing. A week later she flew to New Orleans so we could meet up and she could gather more info on my case at the USCIS. I still remember how friendly and concerned she was in regard to my case, I felt like I was talking to a friend and not an attorney. Every time that I have called her office to speak I would be able to and if I had to leave her a message I would get a call back from her no later than an hour, it was that easy to get in touch with her.  All in all, in my personal opinion she is by far the best Immigration Attorney out there and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE ANY DAY. If you are out there looking for an immigration attorney who cares about her clients and goes out of her way to help you, She is the one you need to call. I give her a 10 on 10 for everything she has done for me and helped me. Thank you, Angela Suh.”  S.G.

  • “BEST immigration attorney ever!! Absolutely love her. She’s been my attorney for 4 years and she does such a good job!! She has great customer service, she’s very nice and gets things done fast. I definitely recommend her :)” S.P.

  • “La abogada Angela me represento en todas mis audiencias en corte desde el año 2014. Le agradezco por todo lo que hizo por mi. Ella peleó muy duro por mi caso y ganó. Estoy muy agradecida porque puede recuperar mi residencia. Yo tuve 2 abogados antes que Angela pero no estuve satisfecha con sus servicios porque no me devan esperanza y no les confiaba con mi caso. No valía la pena que gaste mucho dinero y tiempo en un abogado que no estaba dispuesto a pelear por mi caso. La abogada Angela es diferente de ellos. Ella trabajó muy duro y me dio esperanza durante todo el proceso. Ella me hizo sentir cómoda dejandole mi caso en sus manos. Estoy muy feliz ahora porque tengo mi residencia de vuelta. Esto significa mucho para mi porque ahora ya no me tengo que preocupar por mi estado migratorio y pronto puedo empezar a aplicar para mi ciudadania.”  E.B.

  • “I was told to appear for my asylum interview on short notice. I searched online for immigration lawyers with good reviews and, fortunately, I found Angela.
    She is one of the most hard-working people I’ve met. Angela was able to supplement my file with important materials and prepare me for the interview in a short period of time. Furthermore, I was able to contact her office and get quick responses through every step of the process, which is something my previous attorney was terrible at. I love how devoted and organized Angela is, even though she is busy, she somehow manages to take good care of her clients.
    My asylum case got approved two days ago.  I am relieved, happy and grateful to be able to live the peaceful life I didn’t get in my country. I really couldn’t have done it without her. I definitely recommend her to anyone” – M.A.

  • “Where do I begin with what an amazing immigration attorney Angela is. My situation from speaking to multiple immigration attorneys was unique and seemed like a tough case to win, but after speaking to Angela, which she also recognized as a challenging case as well, had a strategic approach to give us the best chance to get my citizenship denial reversed and approved. Immigration has lost some key documents and proof of payment in my file when I became permanent resident 10 yrs ago. This became a problem when I applied for my citizenship in 2018. I passed the civics and written test but when they reviewed my file there they said I will need to prove that I had filed and paid for that document. I told them I had to otherwise I would not have gotten my permanent resident card in the first place. Angela was honest that my case was going to be tough as she have not dealt with this scenario before, but her plan to resolve this matter was well thought out. She had found a piece of information in my FOIA that gave us an opportunity to prove those documents and fees were indeed paid. And with a little patience and her knowledge and persistence Us Citizenship services reversed the decision and approved my citizenship a year later after I hired Angela. I would highly recommend Angela Suh if you have any immigration issues and need a great attorney to represent you.”  J.T.

  • “Thanks for all.  You were there to support us being a good lawyer and a friend.”

  • “Thank you again…and we really appreciate your great help thus far. We will definitely refer your name if any of our friends need your services.”

  • “Angela, just wanted to thank you and congratulate you on a great job you did for us.  To you this may have been another day at work but to me it meant my freedom. Thank you so much.”

  • “La Abogada Angela Suh me ayudo con mi caso de emigracion.  Yo sentia que mi caso era muy dificil de ganar porque yo ya tenia deportacion y ella gano mi caso.  Ella fue muy amable con migo y con mis hijos.  Yo pude comunicarme con ella porque ella habla y entien muy bien mi idioma espanol.  Es un abogada muy Buena y gana casos dificiles.”

  • “Thank you for all of your hard work on my father’s case.  We were blessed to have you as our attorney.”

  • “Angela, We can thank you enough for all your help.  Wow!  J and I want to say thank you, thank you.  From me a special thank you.  (Yes, I received my card last week).  Thank you.”
