EB-5 Visa: Indians Can Start with $200K Partial Investments

The EB-5 visa is a way for people to get a U.S. green card by investing $800,000 in a new business.

For Indians, this can be a big amount, so some people use a plan called 'staggered investment'.

This means they don't send all the money at once.

Instead, they send a smaller amount first, like $200,000, and promise to send the rest later.

They have to show they will really send the rest of the money.

This helps them start the visa process earlier, even if they don't have all the money right away.

But they have to be careful to follow all the rules, or they might have problems with their visa or the business.
