EB-5 Visa for Iranians
Iran is one of the best amongst Arab countries. As the county is rapidly growing and being top in several businesses, there are also high numbers of high net worth individuals there. Iran is famous for its culture, cuisine and as tourist attractions though due to various reasons people are moving to countries like the USA.
One of the reasons to move the USA or any country is personal freedom as Iran do have some strict public behavioral antiquates. Apart from that political issues and safety concerns boost the migrations of people to the USA.
There are many other visas but for Iranians often it’s difficult because there are some extra precautionary measurements specifically designed for them like the special permission required from the OFAC and much more. Hence the EB-5 scheme turns out to be the boon for them as it overcomes these hurdles.
