No statutory minimum capital investment requirement

02

Freedom to choose a business strategy: purchasing an existing business or launching a startup from scratch

03

Legal residence and the right to conduct business activities within the United States

04

The right to bring your family: your spouse gains access to the labor market, and your children gain access to education

05

Investment Options for Investors Seeking a U.S. Residency Permit:

From $100,000–$200,000

These funds should be sufficient to rent an office, launch operations, and cover the first year’s operating expenses. The exact amount depends on the state of incorporation, the business niche, and the need to hire staff. USCIS fees, consular fees, and legal services are paid separately.
