EB-5 Investor Green Card Program Offers Alternative to Employment Sponsorship
Long wait times for alternative immigrant visas spur increased interest in this employment creating program say the experts at Which EB5
Boca Raton, FL. (PRWEB) November 11, 2009 -- With the rapid-fire layoff announcements in the United States, the potential applicant pool of qualified candidates for open positions is high. While this might be good news for employers looking for skilled workers, it’s not welcomed tidings for potential immigrants hoping to gain sponsorship for a U.S. green card but there is still a way for qualified immigrants to gain the Visa status they need to legally relocate to the United States. The E-5 investor green card provides the option with minimal waiting times.
“Gaining employer sponsorship in this economic climate is becoming increasingly more difficult,” explained Andrew Bartlett, joint managing partner of Which EB5 (www.whicheb5.com). This impartial organization provides information and education to those interested in becoming EB-5 Visa immigrants. “In order for employers to provide sponsorship, they have to be able to prove they cannot find a qualified worker within the local job market. Considering unemployment figures, proving an inadequate applicant pool is extremely difficult right now.”
Bartlett said this situation is giving rise to the increasing popularity of the US EB-5 investor green card program. Through this option potential immigrants can invest a minimum of $500,000 in a regional center of high unemployment and gain their green card. The investment must help create at least 10 jobs and meet other requirements, but it can pave the way for fast permanent residency.
“This is an option worth exploring and it can fast-track legal entry into America and, ultimately, lead to citizenship,” he said.
