I have one restaurant in my LLC, but there are currently seven jobs in this business. I need 10 jobs for the removal of conditions on my EB-5 green card. If I buy any existing business (like a gas station with a convenience store) under my LLC, can I show the employees of this business as part of my 10 jobs?
It might be better to expand the existing business as a new commercial enterprise, especially if already existing, it may not help you. Also make sure each worker is qualified because they have to be full-time qualifying employees. Generally, only US citizens and green card holders and refugee/asylees qualify.
You need to stick to your original business plan. Was an acquisition of a gas station in the BP? Do not mess this up, you are so close. Talk to your attorney.
We would need to analyze the project as described in your business plan when you filed the I-526.
Would it not be easier to hire 3 additional people or show that you will within a reasonable period of time instead of buying another existing business (which would not work anyways)?
