27th August 2024: Every year, about 10,000 EB-5 visas are granted by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services — A much sought-after route to obtaining permanent residency in the United States. Created to promote economic growth and job creation in the US, the EB-5 visa program provides a unique opportunity for foreign investors to obtain a green card by investing in new commercial enterprises or regional centers that generate employment opportunities. However, the lack of awareness of the US real estate market, and the distance between the two countries often make Indian investors apprehensive about making investments. Adding to the challenges is the fact that the process of obtaining a visa is a long-winded, complicated process, which further impedes investors from going this route. However, several businesses have taken the initiative to bridge this gap and make it possible for investors in India to obtain the EB-5 visa without much hassle.
