"Investing in America Through E-2 and EB-5 Visa Categories"

Angelo Paparelli's article, "Investing in America Through E-2 and EB-5 Visa Categories," was published in the June 22, 2010 edition of the New York Law Journal. The article outlines two strategies, the E-2 "Treaty Investor" visa and the EB-5 "Employment Creation" green card, that foreign investors may pursue to obtain a variety of privileges in the United States. According to Angelo, the E-2 and EB-5 categories, however, are studded with complex rules and intricate interpretations. He also discusses how there may be more appropriate paths to achieve comparable immigration benefits based on the individual's particular background, education, career history, accomplishments, business activities, or family relationships.

Angelo concludes that "whether through investment or another strategy, the prudent émigré or long-term nonimmigrant to America will enlist a qualified sherpa, in their case, an experienced immigration lawyer, to help avoid or minimize legal impediments, bureaucratic underbrush, and other dangers."
