The Economy of the United States of America, being the largest consumerist economy, is known to be laden with an unprecedented potential for immigrants, looking forward, to earn rich returns by investing money and establishing commercial enterprises on the American soil. Doing this does not only offer a chance obtain higher yields for the invested funds, but also enables the immigrants to gain entry into this fascinating land.


The sluggish US economy is also helping the cause of the immigrants wanting to establish themselves in this country on the basis of commercial enterprises or investments. The government of this country, as in past, appreciates the relevance and potential of the foreign investments, so it is offering several opportunities to Business fraternity of other countries.

In the current scenario, the government of the USA has laid open a distinct pathway at the disposal of the foreign individuals and companies – the EB5. The individuals and companies willing to establish commercial activities and invest designated amount of funds can readily get permanent residency of the country by way of the ‘Green Card’.


This pathway was established in 1990 with objective of inviting foreign capital and business expertise to the country, in order to bolster the sluggish Business and Investment scenario in the local economy. Due to the success garnered by this specific category; it has received extension and approvals of the senate several times.

The category allows entry of the immigrant investors ready to invest money into one of the three possible venues, like: independent investments in a territory of choice; independent investment in a targeted employment area; and infusion of funds into a project christened as ‘Regional center’.

Independent ventures category specifically serves the people willing to infuse huge funds, in tune of $1,000,000, into their commercial ventures - and run their commercial enterprises independently. The people intending to invest money in such proportions enjoy an unimpeded freedom of choosing the area; and kind of business they would like to establish their venture in.

This class of the investment requires immigrant entrepreneurs to participate in the day to day affairs of their ventures. The resulting enterprise should be able to generate a minimum of 10 full time direct or indirect jobs for qualified categories of US inhabitants, which includes, nationals, PRs – except self and family members, temporary workers, etc.  

The category does give the immigrant entrepreneurs freedom to acquire a business that is already running but has been in red in the last one to two year. The acquisition must, however, result in enhancement of the net worth of the enterprise by at least 40%.

The other way exploring Business Opportunities in the US is possible through a smaller business model; by way of infusing funds in a venture in a TEA – Targeted Employment Area; or infusing participation investments in a project through a regional centre. Both these options require the immigrant investors to plough funds in tune of $500,000 only.
The TEA concept requires the immigrant investors to establish their commercial venture in a rural area or a territory which is experiencing sluggish business; and where unemployment averages are higher than rest of the country. The entrepreneurs in this case too must manage operations of the enterprise independently.

The regional centre in comparison has proven to be the most convenient of the available, Business Opportunities in the US, for the immigrant investors; as this does not require the immigrants to participate in day to day affairs of the venture they are investing in.
