DISCLOSURE: The USA EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program has two key requirements: capital investment and job creation. If either one of these requirements is not fulfilled, the investor’s capital (in part or in full) and their immigration status are at risk, therefore there are no guarantees on return of any capital, nor on immigration status.

Becoming a U.S. resident and/or citizen can have an impact on an applicant’s taxable income and assets. As such, before an applicant chooses to invest in the U.S., they should obtain an independent tax assessment. This document is not intended for distribution within an U.S. state nor to any U.S. residents or citizens.

All application fees charged by the U.S. government and by Arton are subject to change. These fees depend on the number of applicants and the complexity of the process.

Please contact us if you have any questions or need more information.
