U.S. immigration law is designed to protect residents and immigrants. However, our current network of immigration laws can be very complex and challenging. The complexity of our immigration laws can often defeat the purpose it aims to fulfill. It is highly recommended that all foreign nationals seeking residency in the United States consult a Tampa immigration lawyer for legal guidance. If a foreign national fails to follow the strict requirements of the law his residency will be considered illegal. Illegal entry into the Unites States can result in large fines and even incarceration. A Tampa immigration attorney can advise his client on the applicable immigration laws and help ensure his client satisfies the requirements of the law.

There are multiple ways a foreign national can obtain legal residency in the United States. For instance, a foreign national can enter the U.S. legally as a family-based immigrant, employment based immigrant, or through an investment in the United States. A popular route for foreign investors is the EB-5 investor green card program. The EB-5 program grants legal residency to foreign nationals in exchange for economic investment within the United States. The policy behind this immigration law is to spur foreign investment in the United States. However, much like all other U.S. visa programs the requirements are strict and meticulous. Applicants of the EB-5 visa should consult a Tampa immigration lawyer prior to submitting the application. A Tampa immigration attorney can review the details of a proposed investment and help determine if it is eligible for an EB-5 investor green card.

Current immigration law, requires an EB-5 investment to be at least $1 million and create at least 10 jobs within the United States. Typically, the 10 jobs created must be directly related to the applicant's investment. However, under certain circumstances the employment may be indirectly related to the investment. Furthermore, the investment amount may be reduced to $500,000, if it is made in a targeted employment area. Rural or high unemployment areas are typically considered targeted employment areas under the immigration law.

There are many nuances that must be adhered to when applying for an EB-5 visa. Fortunately, a knowledgeable Tampa immigration lawyer can review his client's investment proposal and help determine if it qualifies for the EB-5 green card program. If the investment is eligible, the Tampa immigration attorney can prepare the visa application and advocate for its approval. If the investment proposal is ineligible, the Tampa immigration attorney can help his client modify the proposal in order to meet the immigration law's strict requirements.
