La Visa de Inversionista por Tratado E-2 es una excelente opción para personas de países que tienen un tratado de comercio y navegación con Estados Unidos. Muchos países de América Latina califican para esta visa. La visa E-2 permite a los inversionistas ingresar a EE.UU. para desarrollar y dirigir las operaciones de una empresa en la que han invertido una cantidad sustancial de capital.

Visa de Inversionista por Tratado E-2

Requisitos Clave:

  • El solicitante debe ser nacional de un país con tratado.

  • Se requiere una inversión sustancial en una empresa genuina en EE.UU.

  • El inversionista debe venir a EE.UU. para desarrollar y dirigir la empresa.

La visa E-2 es particularmente atractiva porque puede renovarse indefinidamente, siempre que el negocio continúe operando exitosamente y cumpliendo con los requisitos de la visa.

Países de América Latina que Participan en el Tratado E-2:

  • Argentina

  • Bolivia

  • Chile

  • Colombia

  • Costa Rica

  • Ecuador

  • Honduras

  • México

  • Panamá

  • Paraguay

  • Trinidad y Tobago


Programa de Inversionista Inmigrante EB-5

El Programa de Inversionista Inmigrante EB-5 ofrece un camino directo a la residencia permanente (una tarjeta verde) para los inversionistas que realizan una inversión significativa en una nueva empresa comercial en Estados Unidos. Este programa está diseñado para estimular la economía de EE.UU. a través de la creación de empleos y la inversión de capital por parte de inversionistas extranjeros.

Requisitos Clave:

  • Inversión mínima de $1,050,000 para inversiones fuera de Áreas de Empleo Dirigido (TEA).

  • Inversión mínima de $800,000 para inversiones dentro de TEA.

  • La inversión debe crear o preservar al menos 10 empleos a tiempo completo para trabajadores estadounidenses.

  • El inversionista debe estar activamente involucrado en la gestión del negocio.

El programa EB-5 proporciona a los inversionistas y a sus familiares directos la oportunidad de vivir, trabajar y estudiar en EE.UU. como residentes permanentes.


Visa de Transferencia Intracompania L-1

Para los dueños de negocios y ejecutivos que buscan expandir sus empresas latinoamericanas existentes en Estados Unidos, la visa L-1 es una opción viable. La visa L-1 permite a las empresas transferir ejecutivos, gerentes y empleados con conocimientos especializados desde sus oficinas extranjeras a sus operaciones en EE.UU.

Requisitos Clave:

  • El solicitante debe haber trabajado para la empresa extranjera durante al menos un año en los últimos tres años.

  • La empresa en EE.UU. debe ser matriz, filial, afiliada o sucursal de la empresa extranjera.

  • El solicitante debe venir a EE.UU. para trabajar en una capacidad gerencial, ejecutiva o de conocimiento especializado.

La visa L-1 puede ser una herramienta efectiva para establecer una presencia en EE.UU. y facilitar la transferencia de personal esencial.


Visa de Ocupación Especializada H-1B

Aunque principalmente conocida por su uso por parte de profesionales calificados, la visa H-1B también puede ser utilizada por inversionistas latinoamericanos que poseen habilidades especializadas y son patrocinados por un empleador estadounidense. Esta visa permite a las personas trabajar en EE.UU. en una ocupación especializada que requiere la aplicación teórica y práctica de conocimientos especializados y al menos una licenciatura o equivalente.

Requisitos Clave:

  • La posición debe calificar como una ocupación especializada.

  • El solicitante debe tener la formación educativa necesaria o experiencia equivalente.

  • Un empleador estadounidense debe patrocinar al solicitante.

La visa H-1B proporciona una autorización de trabajo temporal y puede ser un paso hacia opciones de inmigración más permanentes.
