Investor Visas

Individuals who seek to apply for green cards as an EB-5 investor based on their $500,000 or $1 million investment in their own business (as opposed to a regional center) should choose a business accountant carefully to work with the individual’s immigration attorney. The primary evidence that the government will look at to determine if the individual has invested the requisite $500,000 or $1 million is the business’s tax returns. Often accountants try to lower the business’s taxes by classifying the individual’s contributions to the business in ways which may be good for taxes but in doing so may hurt the individual’s EB-5 application.
