Unlike the First Preference you do not have to prove you have extraordinary abilities or buy a paper company to qualify as a multinational executive or manager. You do not have to prove you are a professional with advanced degree as required for Second Preference applicants, or prove that you are a skilled worker under the Third Preference. Most important, you need not obtain a Labor Certificate which requires that you must have an employer first. As an investor, you are the employer and you will create employment with the funds you invest. The only proof you must provide is that the funds you invest are from a lawful source.
All immigrant visas are subject to a complicated quota system.
Generally each country receives a maximum of 25,620 visas per year. The applicant will be subject to the country limit of his or her country of birth. A visa must be available in order to apply for adjustment. Nationals of China, India, and Mexico, for example, often must wait for a visa to become available. We will advise you at your last known address when your relative may file for adjustment.
