EB-5 VISA Applications From India To Go Up Before March 23 Deadline

The raise in the investment amount is expected to eventually lead to a dip in EB-5 VISA applications. And therefore, the deadline extension to apply within the $500,000 investment amount before the March 23 deadline is going to be crucial. An increasingly larger number of people would like to take advantage of this extension of date and apply for EB-5 VISA. It is pertinent to mention here that the EB-5 Programme has gained popularity in India and, it is expected that India will soon be the second biggest market after China. At least that’s what LCR Capital Partners, a Westport, Connecticut (US)-based private equity investment firm, feels. What LCR Capital Partners does is to deploy debt and equity to experienced operators of leading American franchise restaurant brands. Incidentally, this is an ideal industry for EB-5 investments since it is one of the most efficient converters of capital into jobs.

 

The company has its operations and regional offices in Miami, Sao Paulo and Mumbai. It sources its capital from global high-net-worth investors seeking permanent US residency through the EB-5 Immigrant Investment visa programme. LCR specializes in EB-5, Franchise Restaurants, Private Equity and Specialty Finance.

 

“With the extension of the EB-5 Visa Program until March 23, 2018, investors now have a window of opportunity for a chance at the Golden Visa. For those looking to immigrate to the United States this would be their opportunity to invest $500,000 as opposed to the estimated hike raising the investment amount to a minimum of $925,000. Keeping in mind the substantial raise in the investment amount and the growing number of applications we have received, we are certain of a further jump in applications before the March 23 deadline,” said Rogelio Caceres, LCR Capital Partners co-founder and CCO.

 

Founded in 2012 by a group of Harvard Business School classmates, LCR assists their clients and their families in securing the US “Green Cards” and subsequently permanent residency through the EB-5 programme. It claims to have a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by families starting a new life in the United States as it was founded by first generation US immigrants. They are dedicated to facilitating a successful US transition for all their clients. LCR’s primary client base is global high net worth investors from Latin America, China, India and the Middle East. Its top officials also happen to be franchisors at top restaurant brands like Dunkin’ Donuts, Burger King and Subway and such a strong combination of deep operating expertise with strong investment expertise is unmatched in the EB-5 industry today.
