How does the EB-5 visa differ from an E-2 Investor Visa?
The E-2 Investor visa is a temporary visa that can be prolonged indefinitely, with investment sums starting at $100,000. Only nationals of countries that have bilateral investment treaties qualify for the E-2 visa. The main disadvantages are that the status is temporary (unlike a green card), the investor must work in the company and reside where the company is located, and the status can be forfeited if the business experiences financial difficulties.
