US RESIDENCY BY EB-5 and E-2

A comfortable lifestyle, a stable economy, favorable conditions for doing business, a high standard of healthcare and education – all these are factors that lead people to decide to move to the US.

US immigration law offers several programs for business people and investors, which allow you to obtain the right to reside in the United States. However, not every program allows you to receive a Green Card (US permanent residency).
