Green Card Through Investment

From USCIS - Green Card Through Investment

Entrepreneurs (and their spouses and unmarried children under 21) who make an investment in a commercial enterprise in the United States and who plan to create or preserve ten permanent full time jobs for qualified United States workers, are eligible to apply for a green card (permanent residence).

Up to 10,000 visas may be authorized each fiscal year for eligible entrepreneurs.

You must invest $1,000,000, or at least $500,000 in a targeted employment area (high unemployment or rural area).  In return, USCIS may grant conditional permanent residence to the individual.

For more information, see Section 203(b)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and 8 CFR 204.6 (see the “INA” link to the right).

Eligibility Criteria

You may be eligible to receive permanent residence based on investment if:

• You have an approved Form I-526, Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur
• You are admissible to the United States
• An immigrant visa is immediately available

Application Process

If You Are Living Outside the United States

You can become a permanent resident through consular processing if you live outside the United States. Consular processing is when USCIS works with the Department of State to issue a visa on an approved Form I-526, Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur, petition when a visa is available. For more information on consular processing, see the “Consular Processing” link to the left under “Green Card Processes & Procedures.”

If You Are Living in the United States

You can become a conditional permanent resident through adjustment of status if you live inside the United States. Once the Form I-526 is approved and a visa number is available, you can apply for conditional permanent residence on Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. For more information see the “Visa Availability & Priority Dates” and “Adjustment of Status” links to the left under “Green Card Processes & Procedures.”

Supporting Evidence for Form I-485

You should submit the following evidence/documentation with your application:

• Two passport-style photos
• Form G-325A, Biographic Information, if you are between 14 and 79 years of age
• Copy of government issued photo identification
• Copy of birth certificate
• Copy of passport page with non-immigrant visa (if applicable)
• Copy of passport page with admission (entry) or parole stamp (if applicable)
• Form I-94, Arrival/ Departure Record (if applicable)
• Certified copies of court records (if you have been arrested)
• Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record
• Applicable fees
• The approval notice for Form I-526 (Form I-797)

Family of Entrepreneurs

Your spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21, (known as derivatives) may be included on your immigration petition.  If they are residing in the US, they will each need to file a Form I-485. They are counted towards the annual cap of 10,000 visas.

Work & Travel Authorization

Generally, when you have a pending Form I-485, it is possible for you to apply for authorization to work in the United States and to seek advance parole (advance permission to travel and be admitted to the United States upon your return). For further information, see the “Work Authorization” and “Travel Documents” links to the left under “Green Card Processes & Procedures.”

Visa Description

USCIS administers the Immigrant Investor Program, also known as “EB-5,” created by Congress in 1990 to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors. Under a pilot immigration program first enacted in 1992 and regularly reauthorized since, certain EB-5 visas also are set aside for investors in Regional Centers designated by USCIS based on proposals for promoting economic growth.

All EB-5 investors must invest in a new commercial enterprise, which is a commercial enterprise:

• Established after Nov. 29, 1990, or
• Established on or before Nov. 29, 1990, that is:
  1. Purchased and the existing business is restructured or reorganized in such a way that a new commercial enterprise results, or
  2. Expanded through the investment so that a 40-percent increase in the net worth or number of employees occurs

Commercial enterprise means any for-profit activity formed for the ongoing conduct of lawful business including, but not limited to:

• A sole proprietorship
• Partnership (whether limited or general)
• Holding company
• Joint venture
• Corporation
• Business trust or other entity, which may be publicly or privately owned

This definition includes a commercial enterprise consisting of a holding company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, provided that each such subsidiary is engaged in a for-profit activity formed for the ongoing conduct of a lawful business.

Note: This definition does not include noncommercial activity such as owning and operating a personal residence.

Job Creation Requirements

• Create or preserve at least 10 full-time jobs for qualifying U.S. workers within two years (or under certain circumstances, within a reasonable time after the two-year period) of the immigrant investor’s admission to the United States as a Conditional Permanent Resident.
• Create or preserve either direct or indirect jobs:
  • Direct jobs are actual identifiable jobs for qualified employees located within the commercial enterprise into which the EB-5 investor has directly invested his or her capital.
  • Indirect jobs are those jobs shown to have been created collaterally or as a result of capital invested in a commercial enterprise affiliated with a regional center by an EB-5 investor. A foreign investor may only use the indirect job calculation if affiliated with a regional center.

Note: Investors may only be credited with preserving jobs in a troubled business.

A troubled business is an enterprise that has been in existence for at least two years and has incurred a net loss during the 12- or 24-month period prior to the priority date on the immigrant investor’s Form I-526. The loss for this period must be at least 20 percent of the troubled business’ net worth prior to the loss. For purposes of determining whether the troubled business has been in existence for two years, successors in interest to the troubled business will be deemed to have been in existence for the same period of time as the business they succeeded.

A qualified employee is a U.S. citizen, permanent resident or other immigrant authorized to work in the United States. The individual may be a conditional resident, an asylee, a refugee, or a person residing in the United States under suspension of deportation. This definition does not include the immigrant investor; his or her spouse, sons, or daughters; or any foreign national in any non-immigrant status (such as an H-1B visa holder) or who is not authorized to work in the United States.

Full-time employment means employment of a qualifying employee by the new commercial enterprise in a position that requires a minimum of 35 working hours per week. In the case of the Immigrant Investor Pilot Program, “full-time employment” also means employment of a qualifying employee in a position that has been created indirectly from investments associated with the Pilot Program.

A job-sharing arrangement whereby two or more qualifying employees share a full-time position will count as full-time employment provided the hourly requirement per week is met. This definition does not include combinations of part-time positions or full-time equivalents even if, when combined, the positions meet the hourly requirement per week. The position must be permanent, full-time and constant. The two qualified employees sharing the job must be permanent and share the associated benefits normally related to any permanent, full-time position, including payment of both workman’s compensation and unemployment premiums for the position by the employer.

Capital Investment Requirements

Capital means cash, equipment, inventory, other tangible property, cash equivalents and indebtedness secured by assets owned by the alien entrepreneur, provided that the alien entrepreneur is personally and primarily liable and that the assets of the new commercial enterprise upon which the petition is based are not used to secure any of the indebtedness. All capital shall be valued at fair-market value in United States dollars. Assets acquired, directly or indirectly, by unlawful means (such as criminal activities) shall not be considered capital for the purposes of section 203(b)(5) of the Act.

Note: Investment capital cannot be borrowed.

Required minimum investments are:

• General. The minimum qualifying investment in the United States is $1 million.
• Targeted Employment Area (High Unemployment or Rural Area). The minimum qualifying investment either within a high-unemployment area or rural area in the United States is $500,000.

A targeted employment area is an area that, at the time of investment, is a rural area or an area experiencing unemployment of at least 150 percent of the national average rate.

A rural area is any area outside a metropolitan statistical area (as designated by the Office of Management and Budget) or outside the boundary of any city or town having a population of 20,000 or more according to the decennial census.

Cost of office, Kitchen, Bedroom, Bathroom $400 per month,  anywhere!

In the brave new world of independent knowledge workers and creative people working, networking, selling, all from home; there is not only no need for high overhead, there is no reason for it.

Have you ever done a monthly budget?  When you do your taxes, think about how much of your disposable income goes to:

• Gasoline
• Energy
• Food
• Shelter
• Auto Expense
• Travel Expenses

How do you get around these basic human needs?

If it does not offend you that big government seeks to control and regulate all trade and even seeds and standards in these industries, you need to stop “drinking the Cool-aid!”  But you can greatly reduce these expenses in healthy ways and greatly increase quality of life at the same time:

• Live where the rent is cheap, and the scenery is beautiful (IE: Leave the city!)
• Reduce travel, work from home
• Reduce Stress by Reducing stressful, unnatural activities for a human being, to compensate for the time that must be spent on a computer, making a living, and a contribution to society at the same time.
• Reduce distractions associated with all the above, from the things that really mater in life – find yourself no longer time-victimized.
• Do not buy hi-mark-up processed foods – your grocery bill will shrink to almost nothing – grow your own organic vegetables and even meat in your abundant spare time because you do not need to commute.
• Spend more time working out, further reducing your overhead by increasing your physical health, presence of mind, calmness of spirit – because all three exist in the same space!

In the new economy, you can do more with less!

• Rent – $400 month
• Utilities – $100 or less
• Internet – Usually about $40
• Advertising – your time only – $0
• Phone – I pay $140 month
• Software – $0 – all open source, all on the cloud
• Food – cook from scratch – bare necessities only – $100 Month
• Auto-Gas Expense – older car or truck with bad gas mileage is fine – $50.00 Month

_____________________________________________________________________________

Total monthly living expense other than clothes and personal items: $830.00 Per month, per person.

Income taxes if taking in home-business income of $3500.00 month, less all legal deductions for home office, business expense, travel, entertainment, adverting, subscriptions, etc: $183.00 per year (nothing is withheld)

Summary

Save the planet, yourself, your health, your money, your time, and your life:

Log-on, catch up, live better, at home, at your pace, your way in 2014, and right now!

In 2014 The biggest mega-trend that is not going away soon is more and more people working from home.  As video conferencing, social networking and online technological change continue, it becomes less and less necessary for people to live in close proximity to each other, work in close proximity…interaction is 24 hours constant online…

Even if you are a skilled employee or executive, you landed, made contact with, found, and applied for that position from home online initially.

Add to this the big government effect (broken budgets) and the rebellion that will ensue: the jobs of the future will be independent contractors, not employees.

All this changes the skills necessary for any job, as we must all manage our reputation online, manage contacts and clients, and keep track of our own businesses.  Doing this all from home, in your home, warrants a change in life-styles.

The brave new world that is coming moves faster, provides less support (not more, the budget is busted), and is actually less forgiving than the slow-moving economies past.

New technologies are worth money before anybody can study about how to teach about them.

If all this scares you, I will remind you about how much of a salesperson’s job was spent dialing and waiting and leaving messages and playing phone tag.

In the new market, the bricks and mortar that once established credibility, may now brand you as a dinosaur; the friendly chit chat results in a hang up.  We are accelerated, independent.

A good website, that is editable by you, the source of your essence, shared with the rest of the world, feeding you, nourishing you, branding you is much more important than a business card now.  Get the other guys business card!

You need to be more concerned with your “on the cloud” contact management system, your social profiles, groups, posts, articles, and endorsements, and building an audience who wants to opt-in to your message by connecting to you online.

As publishing becomes more and more digital and interactively accessible in nature, attention spans, browsing and searching methods, tastes and customs are also changing.

More and more of us start our day with our morning cup and a blog, online news video, and/or email to catch up on to begin our days; where the norm was once the newspaper, local TV, Radio…

As we adopt technological tools to manage information, subscriptions, contacts, entertainment and relationships, we find ourselves enabled and empowered to interact more, maintain more contacts, and do so in less time, with less effort.  We become more and more efficient at finding consuming more media faster with less time necessary for searching.

According to this article from emarketer.com:

“Growth in digital to remain in double digits through 2015″

Worldwide, digital ad spending passed the $100-billion mark for the first time last year, according to new eMarketer estimates, and will increase by a further 15.1% in 2013 to $118.4 billion.

That will put worldwide digital ad spending levels—including online and mobile advertising spending, other than messaging-based formats—at 21.7% of the total spent on ads in all media this year, and on track to account for more than one-quarter of all ad spending by 2016.

Read more at http://www.emarketer.com/Article/Digital-Account-One-Five-Ad-Dollars/1009592#AgSzRWg1IQRlqPTy.99

When you factor into the above the factor that digital advertising can be much less expensive than other forms of media, you reveal the mega-trend of billions of advertising dollars finding new reach in Social Media and Digital Media in general.   Now everything else revolves around and feeds digital contacts, content, tracking, CRM, document storage, email, tracking…they all merge online at the website now.

Since almost nobody will do any business with anybody without doing research online first, you can no longer separate your overall reputation from your digital one – they are the same.

Managing ones proper name, company name, product name, reputation or all of the above online is accomplished easily, if you know how:

1. Create a self-hosted WordPress or other well optimized blog (Self hosted because you own the real estate, the link authority, the clout)
2. Begin Writing!  It is really almost that simple: this is my fourth living E-Book.  I have become published other places like DZone.com and Yahoo Voices, Yahoo News, Roiters, MSN… and this has fed me clients.  Blog about what you know, what you love, and what you care about, at least weekly. (2013 5 Minute Blog Posting S.E.O. Guide | DZone)
3. Re-post and otherwise distribute your unique in all the world content to groups, social networks, blogs and niche aggregates, linked back to you as the source.
4. Maintain a blog, a Facebook, a Facebook Group, a Google+ Community, a Book site (to brand for future book sales, speaking engagements…WordPress Works Well), LinkedIn, LinkedIn product Page, LinkedIn Company page – you just paste a link to the original blog post and it renders a perfect post, click click, takes minutes – I reach over 4,000,000 at least twice monthly (my audience)
5. Be your own best friend, fan, contact, advocate, connection, commenter and subscriber, formatting everything for SEO

This whole process can also be geographically targeted:

Until now, there were basically two ways to be visible online:

1. Pay more than anybody else for every hit, lead, action, click or column-inch for a non-exclusive page populated by your competitors
2. Feed Google (and the other search engines) content

If you think that broad geographical or niche targets for organic key word search are out of reach organically, then think again!  This page was obviously made for a reason: http://socialmediasystems.com/real-estate-search-engine-marketing-social-media-advertising/  is a little page built several years ago, which has me constantly ranking for several searches on my old site.  I reserved socialmediasystems .com and .org for 8.95 annual in 2007, subsequently did $779,000.00 from that domain in 9 calendar months left in that year, and now the .com domain name alone appraises for over $10,000.

A website with earnings can be worth 100 times earnings or more!

I get so tired of hearing young, linear thinkers who think that they know it all talk about how the best opportunities are past!  Type “Local News Advertising” into Google and you will find my YouTube Video.  Type local news advertising agency, and my strategy and results are revealed.

Intentional organic rankings in the SRP’s (search results pages) can be and is done.

This simple WordPress Blog, for instance, ranks for a host of competitive searches, including “internet advertising consultant“.

I do this by creating content, content that is unique because it came from me; then spreading it around, building a trail back to the source.  You can do it to.

This living e-book was only an idea in 2010 when we published the 2010 Rothman Guide (originally a collaboration between my son and I).  It fed us then as it feeds us now.

This kind of marketing is good for any professional, any politician, any professional celebrity, any expert, any author, any website designer, any S.E.O. company, event planner, consultant, contractor, any personal assistant…I could go on and on – content marketing is what is up.

If you are an agent or a broker, a home business or a small business, you will be left in the dust if you do not watch this hidden video (free presentation) about change:

We have found the other half of everything we had envisioned at UpLog.org in the beginning, the back-office solution half.

The  ”O.M.A.” (Off Market Association) has been quietly tweaking, testing, refining the most comprehensive and real world business in a box sweet offering that I have ever seen:

They have combined the most modern CRM system imaginable with:

• a $50,000 on-demand library of the stuff $10,000 coaches provide,
• and made it available to all of us without charge online,
• a virtual university of small business training in every discipline;
• online training with up-to-date document libraries and templates
• in lending,
• Real Estate,
• SBA Borrowing,
• acquiring off-market assets from banks;
• even how to provide non-conventional loans through local banks,
• feeding both halves of the equation into the network of thousands of investors and sources that make the non-conventional lending  possible.

The Members are instantly able to do all of these things and provide capital and services to small businesses of all kinds, on a $97 investment, from home.

With my background in lending and Venture Capital, I have never seen a better capitalized, leaner and meaner, more well planned conquest than this one.

We add social media marketing to the bundle:

Each member of the O.M.A. will be represented on an O.M.A. Blog connecting the Members to all of us, and putting them on top of Google organic search for what they do and where they do it  (I.E. Commercial Real Estate Broker _ location _location); and in the directory of all the members tied together in the relational database, feeding them all to each other. They will also be able to sell our Social Media Advertising products and services if they so desire, there is no conflict.

All members at UpLog.org, our audience, and our reps are being notified that they can now add to their list of products and services as an independent business person:

• Commercial Lending, SBA Loan, SBA Bank Services
• Micro-lending (Actual 7 day approval based almost completely on cash flow)
• Commercial Off-market real estate related services.
• And Much Much More…..

Now the big gamble on my part; I’ll put my money where my mouth is:

Any existing advertiser or member at UpLog.org who wants to renew our $1,000 yearly service and is interested in the O.M.A., if you join right now using the link above (this one-click here!)  I will credit you one year renewal, without paying at UpLog.org for your full service blogging. (This is only for immediate responses – MENTION THIS ARTICLE)

I, Israel Rothman, am officially adding all these things back to what I can do for small business, including non conventional lending, help with Venture Capital offerings, adding non-conventional lending to an existing portfolio of services, CRM… all added to our sweet of services at UpLog.org, and I recommend this to all of our members.

“I have spent two weeks evaluating this organization, talked to all the partners..this is a real and legitimate offer, well capitalized, put together by real professionals – an instant office and a business on the cloud, no other investment required! 

If I can finance it, I can sell it.  This makes it possible to finance our services, and get paid a commission on the loan!  That clinches it for me! “

~ Israel Rothman

When you realize that your existing UpLog.org blog is optimized to rank for “small business equipment loans”  “distressed real estate” and anything else that you write about in your town, it will all gel for you.

Training Video 1 – WordPress Basics TOPICS: Logging In, Resetting Your Password, Formatting Content

You will find thousands of conflicting S.E.O. guides for blog posting.  My protege John Kitts, who was my original trainee and who now has had his own UpLog.org ‘clone’ (the original one) since 2006, where he earns a full time living from about 100 clients and growing, has made a series of great videos covering some of our style of WordPress S.E.O. -they are here, the one above is the first one on this page.

My article from earlier this year, has been replaced line one number one with the version that DZONE published here – due to their amazing link-authority: ‘blog posting SEO guide‘ Google search.

But when you compete as we do, with people like seobook.org, seomoz.com, wordtracker.com and Mashable.com (the largest, best optimized WordPress MU site on the planet), it takes more than onsite and offsite technique and strategy to rank for searches like this one which bring up 25,700,000 competitive results from other professionals: it takes link-authority.

It is because DZone.com is one of the largest and oldest directories, and has been around since the eighties, and has always been a high quality content aggregate, that the article of mine that they published out-rank mine.   Indeed, if I was not an established expert with link authority and rankings of my own, they would not have approached me originally to blog with them as a part of their new “MVB” program, and the proof of concept in this article would not exist: http://www.dzone.com/articles/2013-5-minute-blog-posting-seo.

An educated SEO expert with a high IQ may be able to reverse engineer what I do and achieve some success – but only longevity and consistency of content production build link authority on Google and others.  The highest bump of all to your own authority is to be re-published thus; and their reason for doing so is obvious since it is creating rankings and traffic for them…

To fully understand this you must understand that it is a specialty: a specialist cannot do it, on purpose calling it ahead of time as only I do, even with everything I do not share, without link – authority of their own.

The content market is maturing online, and slowly replacing the clout of other forms of media.  The Nielsen Rankings are already changing, and are more and more dependent on on-demand online viewing, and social media engagement and feedback.  This trend, that we started talking about here: http://socialmediasystems.com/blog/the-slow-death-of-seo-as-we-know-it/ in 2008 will continue.  As the market matures, clear winners like DMOZ.com, and Yahoo Voices (formerly Associatedcontent.com) will position themselves, and traditional SEO will give way to modern content marketing.  You cannot go back in time, so you cannot catch DZONE, Yahoo voices, or even me at UpLog.org with 120+ blogs and growing created just for this purpose.

The only way to the top of very competitive global searches now is to get somebody, some group, some moderator, or some content publisher to see value in your content, as we have done here; or to become a niche content publisher/aggregate as our clients at UpLog.org do, connected to “the ROAR of all of US”  for size and power.

Our best SEO tricks will never be published, even for our clients – that training is done one – on- one, in private.

However, let me recommend groups, especially on Linkedin, Google+ and Facebook.  If you are a regular contributor to the right niche communities  and/or are a founder of a niche community or group that grows and is active, you gain that authority on your own, for merit.  A new development in the last year is the introduction of Google communities; they are new, they are growing  and they work very well for rankings authority; example: this Building a Company group already has 20,470 members.  If I had started it only a few months ago, I would be very happy with that!  It is an open group, so anybody wanting to reach 20,000 consultants (me) is behooved to post there, as I will post this article – probably after DMOS re-publishes it up so that I can use that version for credibility

Re-read this article three times, and you will begin to see the big picture, the way that it is all the same as it always was; the media is digital now, some of the players have changed, but the proverbial game remains the same.

Shameless plug: we train our clients to use tricks nobody else knows, which I invented to sustain what we can create instantly because of who we are!

I am Israel Rothman, top “internet advertising consultant” in the world according to Google organic search – I am easy to find.  Are you?  Do you need to be?  Do you need link-authority and/or a value statement?  I am more interested in your content than your money – so what is your excuse to remain in obscurity?!

It all starts with a self-fulfilling prophecy:

“The largest social networking groups in San Francisco begin on Linkedin and on Facebook, meetup.com is number one right now but..
Our soon to be largest group is here: 

https://www.facebook.com/groups/sanfranciscosocialnetwork/”

Thanks to Google search for “san francisco largest social networking groups” for these:

In 2001, we had to sell online advertising by giving away free classifieds.  As we placed their free classified ad, we were able, in about 45 minutes, to load enough technical understanding into what we invented and were selling to make a sale.

Selling new media technology and methods in old, over-ripe bricks and mortar markets like retail clothing, sports equipment, bars and lounges, car dealerships is more education than it is selling: the cheese has already moved and is moving.

Early adopters like these, are dominating search results, social networks, Facebook…these are our sponsors for our little Coos Bay Social Network.  Three months ago,  these search results were dominated by the yellow pages, the chamber of commerce, Meetup.com was number one even though the nearest group was 69 miles away.  But no outdated manufactured behemoth is any match for properly optimized and promoted local content: my local clients rank for every conceivable desired search, cumulatively, for MERIT, in perpetuity!  Examples (they are also on every page of coosbay.uplog.org)

I get the calls all the time:

“I know I need to do something with social media, but I do not understand what it is, or how it can help me…”

Sheesh!  Where do I start: let me see….

1. What is the Internet – almost all the computers and people  in the world connected and talking to each other.
2. What is social media – the modern Internet with niche affinity groups connected together by way of ethnicity, location, industry preference, religion, demographics, politics..
3. How do I benefit from Social Media – you must give to get, you must make a contribution to the discussion, to the Internet itself; then, you are found when people search for what you do where you do it on Google, Facebook…need i say more? YouTube…
4. Internet is basically a Meritocracy: in other words, those who contribute the most work, are rewarded the most.
5. How do I compete in this huge competitive marketplace – in order to be found without bidding against everyone in the world for the audience (PPC) you must become part of a niche aggregate group, geographically or niche specific on LinkedIn  and/or Facebook, and/or Google+ etc..like this one (which feeds my business) http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Social-Media-Marketing-Gurus
6. What is a  blog aggregate or content aggregate – in order to compete, niche groups can combine real content and create real geographic and/or content specific resources online that rank because of MERIT; and they get traffic because of size, quality and depth of content: a multi-user website code base of blogs and news that can be used to aggregate local and or topic specific news, activity, videos, links, demographics and other local content to rank on organic search on the search engines for very competitive  organic search terms and feed business to the authors business as benevolent providers of that content.
7. Why don’t free blogs work – WordPress.com, Blogger and other free networks have no quality control – the content is not high quality, is not arranged in a geographic specific and topic specific way, and these are full of random dead sites, so they do not work.  Controlled networks like dzone.com and  are much more effective because they create a better resource for the visitor, and a better networking environment for the users.
8. Now what – you need a perfectly optimized blog (automated modern website) that is fed by the right niche places that you spread your contribution around in the right way linked back to you.
9. Result: you outrank your competitors on search when people look for what you do where you do it.

Q.  What is Uplog.org

A. (1) Technical answer: Uplog.org is a mult-user website code base of blogs and news that can be used to aggregate local and or topic specific news, activity, videos, links, demographics and other local content to rank on organic search on the search engines for very competitive  organic search terms and feed business to the authors business as benevolent providers of that content.

A. (2) Warm and fuzzy:

Our elevator pitch works:
”By blogging together we dominate organic search and the social networks on behalf of ourselves and our clients!  We roar!”
