WHY USA?
The USA is the third-largest country on the globe and has been the leading economic and military power for the last century. Dominating the global economy, it accounts for nearly a quarter of the world’s GDP. The USA offers a wide range of choices when it comes to lifestyle, education, culture, geography, and climate.
The country is governed by a federal constitutional republic and has a highly diverse population. Since the inception of the 20th century, the USA has fixed itself as a worldwide leader despite its history dating back to the 16th century. The country has been a founding member of several major international organisations, such as the United Nations, World Bank, IMF and NATO, to name a few. The country welcomes immigrants, and US Immigrant Investor Program is one pathway to acquiring US permanent residency and citizenship.
About USA residence by investment
The United States of America remains one of the most desired destinations for migrants and investors from all over the world. The USA has a complex immigration system, and in each instance, it is warranted to assess the individual situation thoroughly in order to establish the immigration route offering the best chances.
There are interesting residence possibilities for investors that allow immigration to the country. Under the US EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, you may be granted permanent resident status (a ‘green card’) within a short period of time.
