Sorry, who invested?

To qualify as a TEA, the area needs to have 150% of the current joblessness rate and have fewer than 20,000 people. But M1 that is a stretch.

500 k, shouldn’t be difficult...America loves to take your money

Haha true ey1. But have you or someone you know applied for it?

Just one. It works like a VC deal and you are the VC. There are many companies who can facilitate interaction between you and your investment. That will save you the hassle of identifying qualifying projects , showing growth etc. These companies are actually trustworthy , as this kind of visa is encouraged and govt. supports it. They might have their commission ..but then if you have 500k to invest ,I’m assuming you’re well off

Thanks EY1! Would love to talk to your friend. I can give you a burner to pass on if you are able to connect me with him or her. It would help so much during such trying times.

OP - I got my green card through EB-5 earlier this year, though not through TEA. Could chat if it’s helpful.

S&1 - how long did it take you to get that?

Just a few days under 12 months

S&1- thanks so much! I am on lovefishbowl@gmail. If you have a burner I can write to you.

S&1, not sure if you saw my message. Would love to talk to you if you could write to me or give me your burner.
