What makes the USA a Popular Investment Location?

The United States of America (USA) is a vast country made up of 50 states, covering most of North America. It ranks as the third-largest country in the world by size.

Known as the “Land of Opportunity,” the USA offers exceptional prospects for individuals seeking personal growth and professional success through investment and business.

Guide to USA's Residency by Investment Programme

The EB-3 visa is a third-preference, employment-based immigrant visa. It is one of five employment-based green card options that allow foreign nationals to live and work in the United States as permanent residents.

The EB-3 visa targets three categories of workers: skilled workers, professionals, and unskilled (other) workers. Applicants who meet the criteria in any of these categories may be eligible for the EB-3 visa.

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) defines these categories as follows:

  • Skilled workers: Individuals with at least two years of experience in their field of expertise.

  • Professionals: Those holding higher degrees and requiring a professional license to work.

  • Unskilled (other) workers: Applicants able to perform jobs for which qualified workers are unavailable.

How to get Residency in the USA

Live the American Dream

Unlike other residency programs, the EB-3 visa does not require a financial investment.

Instead, applicants pay a total fee of $45,000 for the principal applicant, which covers all immigrant visa government fees. Additional applicants, such as a spouse or children under 21, are charged $3,000 each.

Importantly, all costs—except government fees—are fully refundable if the application is unsuccessful.

Key Benefits of Residency in the USA

The EB-3 visa grants successful applicants a U.S. Green Card, providing permanent residency status.

With a Green Card, holders can live and work in the U.S. with minimal restrictions, travel freely in and out of the country without a visa, and reside in any state of their choice.

Applicants can also bring eligible family members, including a spouse and unmarried children under 21, to live in the U.S.

The EB-3 visa has less stringent requirements compared to other residency programs. As an employment-based visa, it requires only a non-seasonal job offer to qualify. Once issued, the Green Card is valid for 10 years and can be renewed.
