What are the requirements for filing an application for an Investor Visa?

In order to file an application for an Investor Visa in California, an individual must meet certain requirements. These requirements are typically outlined in U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) regulations. Generally, the individual must have invested, or be actively in the process of investing, at least $500,000 into a new commercial enterprise (the “NCE”) that is creating at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers. The NCE must be established as a for-profit venture, and must be located in a targeted employment area (TEA) or a rural area in California. The investor must also demonstrate that the investment capital was obtained through lawful means and must show proof of the source of funds. Additionally, it is important for the investor to demonstrate their personal involvement in the NCE, such as through the active participation in management, policy formation and the day-to-day operations of the business. The investor must also meet certain educational and/or experience requirements, depending on the type of business being established. For certain types of businesses, the investor must demonstrate business experience and/or managerial experience in the type of company they are investing in. Finally, the investor must have a clear criminal background and have no immigration violations on their records. Once they have met all the requirements, they may submit their application to USCIS. USCIS will assess their application and, if approved, grant the investor a visa.
