Abstract: 

The EB-5 visa is not a panacea for nonresident alien highnet-worth investors contemplating a move to the United States and legal permanent residency. The investment threshold is high and other non-immigrant visa options may provide a better tax result from a U.S. perspective—particularly when the political and economic impetus prompting the move is short-term in nature.

Keywords: EB-5 visa, L-A1 visa, E-2 visa, F-1 visa, F-2 visa, foreign investor, U.S. residency, tax compliance
