It is not new that many Brazilians dream of living abroad. Reflecting a crisis a few years ago did not look around, searching for opportunities abroad has grown every day. But in order to live, work or engage in other countries - legally - you must have the proper visa. In the United States, most wanted by Brazilian destination, the green card is the document that allows the residence and gives full civil rights for immigrants. And there are people who, ultimately, to marry Americans to get it. Another way is the EB-5 visa for investors.
Created in 1990 by the US government to stimulate the US economy, it is little known, but their use is growing, including Brazil. There are 10 thousand vacancies a year, spread across all countries. "All the research indicates that Brazil is a good market for the EB-5 due to the current political, economic and social situation," said George Griffin, senior vice president of global markets Nysa Capital, a company that arrived in Brazil at the end last year and supports the investor who wants to get his permanent green card via EB-5, and offers all types of services to help you in adapting to American resident. With offices in strategic countries such as South Korea, Vietnam, India and China, it has a competitive advantage over other companies like that.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors of Nysa, George Foresman, was the first Under Secretary of Homeland Security, the US Department of Homeland Security. One of the responsibilities Foresman was just administer the USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Services - of Citizenship and Immigration Service), which includes the EB-5 program. The chairman has closely followed these cases for years, know the rules and know how to solve any problems.
Carlos Hawker, managing partner of American LCR Partners, with recent headquartered in Brazil and also specializes in advising the interested investor, says that now the demand is much higher. "This program has gone several years without having all vacancies filled, for lack of knowledge. Three years now, interest has increased, especially in the Chinese market. "Hawker explained that the 10 000 vacancies a year, 9000 were Chinese and the rest divided between countries, but increasingly betting on Brazil's potential. "Previously, there were three to four requests in Brazil; last year rose to 40. This year we expect an average of 100 ".
But how? The interested in immigrating by the EB-5 should choose a regional center approved by the US government, to make an investment of $ 500,000 in a new business that creates and sustains at least ten jobs for at least two years (period of establishment of the company to obtain the final document). Since its inception, no adjustment was made and it is expected an increase of about $ 300,000 in September - this can also be a cause of rising demand. "A good time to make the EB-5 is by the end of September. Thus, you can ensure your investment without adjustment, mainly because of the money being invested in dollar and the trend is that it go, "said Griffin.
Projects to invest ranging from hotels, real estate, franchise network and companies that are capable of generating ten places or more. It is paramount that the rules on hiring employees to do so.
If all standards are met, the immigrant, your spouse and children under 21 years old will receive their permanent green cards. "With the conditional green card, within 180 days the applicant can organize your things here and move to the US. Can work normally, and two to three years the final document is delivered. It is important to mention that most of the investments takes a little more than three years to get back, "says senior vice president of Nysa. It is noteworthy also that, if the request is denied, a full refund is made. But the probability is low: over 90% approval rate was recorded in 2014. However, there are companies like Nysa, where the effective rate is 100%.
