Investment visas like the E-2 and EB-5 allow foreign nationals to live and work in the U.S. based on substantial investments. The E-2 visa is available to individuals from treaty countries who invest in and actively manage a U.S. business, with no minimum investment amount but typically requiring a significant sum. The EB-5 visa grants lawful permanent residency (green card) to investors who invest at least $1.05 million (or $800,000 in targeted employment areas) in a new or troubled U.S. business, creating or preserving at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers.
