The United States of America offers an immigration program for those seeking to invest and immigrate to the country. Offering plenty of socioeconomic benefits, the United States is an ideal choice for immigrants seeking a better life.

Benefits include better employment opportunities, higher education and healthcare systems, and overall improved standards of living.

In 1990, the United States Congress created the EB-5 program .The Program grants investor visas in exchange to business investments that create jobs for American workers. Accordingly, investors and their immediate families will obtain conditional residency in 2 years. Afterwards, they will be entitled for a Green Card (a permanent residency) in the States. This will allow them to live, work or retire anywhere within the country.
