Countries Excluded from EB-5 Programs
The EB-5 visa program allows foreign individuals to come to the United States after investing in a U.S. company. However, a person may face considerable problems entering the U.S. if they are attempting to leave a country that does not have strong ties with America. In many cases, countries excluded from the EB-5 program have been heavily sanctioned by the United States and have held an aggressive stance against the U.S. for many years.
However, the exclusion list for the EB-5 program does not necessarily mean automatic disqualification. If you are interested in the EB-5 visa program despite being from an excluded country, you should discuss your situation with a qualified lawyer. For additional information regarding your visa options, contact the EB-5 visa attorneys of White & Associates by calling 818-730-3540 today.
EB-5 Exclusions
The United States uses EB-5 exclusions to keep out citizens of a country that may hold hostile intentions or aims against the U.S. However, this does not mean that the citizens of these countries are completely excluded from the EB-5 program. In many cases, these individuals may be fleeing oppressive governments to begin a new life in America.
The following countries are considered excluded from the EB-5 program or may make the process substantially more difficult for exiting citizens:
- North Korea
- Iran
- Iraq
- Afghanistan
Depending on the circumstances of a person’s residency, they may still be able to enter the EB-5 program even if their original nationality is not preferred by this immigration program.
