Investor Visa Opportunities in the Tampa, FL Area: Consult with the Tampa Immigration Lawyers at Maney | Gordon, P.A.

For those foreign nationals who want to be self-employed in Tampa Bay area, there are multiple investor visa opportunities available. Whether you want to live in America under a temporary, non-immigrant status—or you want to become a lawful permanent resident of the United States—the highly desired investor visa provides non-US citizens with a variety of options.

The Tampa immigration lawyers at Maney | Gordon, P.A. have more than 30 years of experience in immigration and visa law and we have assisted many individuals with obtaining the investor visa that meets their needs. Attorneys Richard Maney and Mark Weiner hold Board Certification by the Florida Bar in the field of immigration and nationality law, and our firm also has earned an AV rating by Martindale-Hubbell, meaning that Maney | Gordon is ranked at the highest level of professional excellence.

Depending on the type of Tampa Bay area business you want to invest in, there are three main investor visa categories to choose from:

  • E1 Visa for the Treaty Trader—Allows foreign nationals to enter the US on a temporary, non-immigrant basis for the purpose of directing and developing an import/export business and trade between the US and a treaty country.
  • E2 Visa for the Treaty Investor—Allows non-US citizens to enter the US on a temporary, non-immigrant basis for the purpose of owning a US business and employing US citizens and residents.
  • EB5 Visa—This investor visa allows foreign-born individuals to eventually gain lawful permanent residence in the United States after they invest at least $1 million (or $500,000 in certain high-unemployment areas) into an active US business that employs at least 10 US workers.

The first step in obtaining an investor visa should be to consult an experienced attorney who specializes in immigration law. An attorney can help you save both time and money by making sure the application process goes smoothly. Just one mistake in the investor visa process can result in a costly denial, but an attorney will keep you informed of visa requirements, applications, deadlines, and so on, leaving you free to concentrate on your new American enterprise.
