@Ashoori Law. Fantastic video mate. I'm in the field myself and was looking for a video to use to explain the process to our office interns. Nice work.
If one acquires a pre existing business with say 30 employees, does that mean that I need to take headcount up to 40 after 2yrs? Or could one shut down 'department A' in a restructuring and move 10 staff across to a newly created 'department B'
Hi Leke, typically the 10 jobs must be "new jobs" meaning that you must add 10 additional jobs to the total jobs in existence at the time you purchase the business. However, if the business is considered a "troubled business" which basically means that its been losing money for a period of time, you may be able count the jobs that you are saving toward your requirement to create 10 jobs.
Hey Ashoori, My husband and I are in the US for relocation since June 2018 (I'm L1B, he's L2B). I am currently in the process of applying for a greencard, however, was told that this will be a long process that will take at least 1.5 years. I have real estate in Israel worth approximately 800,000$. Do you think by using these funds and investing them in a US business, I will be able to receive a conditional greencard faster than through my L1B? Thanks in advance, Omer
1.5 years is nothing for the greencard application process. EB5 will itself take that long or probably much longer than that. Please let me know where are you in your process of green card. Thanks best wishes
Hello. Thank you for posting this video. I have a question. Can you slowly grow a business in the US (while living outside the country) until it reaches the investment amount and then move and apply?
Hi everyone. Do I qualify for any USA visa if I’m a health care assistant worker in the UK? If I do which visa would it be under? It’s really confusing. I’m not 100% sure but I think HCA in the USA are called nurses aid.
One question based on the wording in this video, After the two years of conditional permanent residence have expired, and you've been granted an unconditional permanent residence visa, are you eligible to withdraw/cash out your initial investment? For example, say you purchased a business that employed 10 full time workers for the two years, then gained your unconditional visa, could you then sell the business to try to recoup your initial capital investment?
Yes, once you receive your unconditional green card, you may withdraw your investment funds. I'd be happy to discuss with you in greater detail. Please feel free to call me at 818.741.1117 or you can schedule a free consultation here: www.ashoorilaw.com/schedule/
This is a great video. I’m a DJ, label owner and entrepreneur and my wife works for an international (NZ) company. We are Canadians and would love to move to the United States. Would you recommend taking a different approach than a EB-5 visa given our particular circumstances or should we sell everything we own in Canada and try to open a business in the states? Thank you for all the info 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hi. Thank you Ashoori. I have a question: Say i am the founder of a tech company. I have investor(s) who have invested more than $2 Million into my company. Would I be eligible for this EB5 Visa by the virtue of their investment in my company?
After the investment of 800K, if I am outside America, how long will it take for the American Consulate in my country to grant me the basic VISA that will enable me to migrate to America in order to continue the EB-5 process?

Great to hear from you M.kundu! The amount you have to invest to qualify for an EB5 visa will depend on whether the restaurant is located in a targeted employment area (TEA) or not. If the restaurant is located in a targeted employment area, the investment amount is $900,000. If the restaurant is outside of a targeted employment area, the minimum investment amount is $1,800,000. I would be happy to check some specific addresses for you and let you know whether they are in a TEA or not. Please give me a call at +1-818-741-1117.

@@AshooriLaw Meaning if I invest $2mil in any field such as real estate, import-export etc I would be eligible as long as it creates 10 jobs for my new company?
Hi Theaurus, yes it is possible to apply for EB5 while you are in the U.S. on an F1 visa. I'd be happy to discuss with you in more detail. Feel free to give me a call at +1-818-741-1117. Or you can schedule a free consultation using this link: www.ashoorilaw.com/schedule/
@@Nikhil-tz6pg Sure, an EB5 Regional Center is an entity designated by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). EB5 Regional Centers typically sponsor investment projects for EB5 investors. Basically, a Regional Center is an area designated by USCIS which is eligible to receive investment funds from EB5 investors. Regional center projects typically pool together funds from several EB5 investors to fund large scale real estate developments (such as hotels and resorts).
do all the 10 permanent jobs be created as soon as you get your greencard until 2 years when you apply to get the conditions removed from your GC ?I mean what happens if at a certain point for couple months i run the business with 7 people but then i rehire 10 people .. just if you could give a little more clarification about this. TIA

Hi i wish to invest in real estate for rental income. So how much money i should invest for EB 5 Visa? Is rental real estate investment eligible for EB5 visa?
Hypothetical Question: If I won the Lotto in the UK (Say £12M) and decided I wanted to move to the States permanently. Is there a path that I could take to get a greencard/residency without investing or working in any manner? I would just want to essentially retire in the States and live off my winnings. Is this possible? Thanks in advance.
No. You HAVE to invest in country in order to obtain citizenship. Even after applying for eb5 there is 20% Chance for rejection of green card . Lets suppose if you win lotto in UK , why would you even move to USA ? Uk as a country is very developed and has all the facilities to live comfortable life. Do you even know how many people are dying to immigrate to UK ? Minimum amount to get investment visa in UK is 2 million pound. Why would you even move to USA ? it really bothered me lol. Please do reply if your okay with my question.

One thing you didn’t mention is what is the required amount to invest in? I’ve seen places say $500k-$1,000,000 and other places say $900k-$1,800,000.
The minimum investment used to be 500K but it is now 900K since Nov. 2019. I don't know why he forgot to mention that. It's very important.
Hello. Thank you for posting this video. I have a question. Can you slowly grow a business in the US (while living outside the country) until it reaches the investment amount and then move and apply?

Can you get this visa by investing in the stock market?
Great question Brian, unfortunately no, investments in the stock market do not qualify.
@@AshooriLaw that’s dumb tbh they need to change that
I have a project and I want to make it to qualify the EB5 project so that the investor can invest it. What form or application should I fill out?

So get U.S citizenship in exchange for nothing? You're a moron.
Simple answer is no. If you don't work in the U.S. you'll need to invest or marry a U.S. citizen.
Can I study with an EB-5 visa
You can do whatever you want when you have a green card. Work, study, drink martinis by the beach all day. Your choice.
Can an investment for a EB-5 visa overlook a past criminal conviction..
