The U.S. Immigrant Investor Program
The program provides for conditional, two-year resident status to qualifying investors and their families who invest at least $1 million (or $500,000 in designated target areas) in businesses that create at least ten full-time permanent jobs for American workers.
After two years, if the investment and job-creation requirements of the program are met, unconditional, permanent residency can be applied for and received.
The United States government modified its 1990 immigrant investor program in 1993 by implementing a pilot program where regional centers designated by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (now the USCIS) were established.
In these regional centers, flexible, passive investment opportunities are created for a pool of immigrant investors through the creation of limited partnerships.
Today, our organization, the South Florida Investment Regional Center, is a designated regional center for South Florida's Miami-Dade and Monroe counties.
