Immigration AttorneysMost entities that own and/or operate franchises may have certain requirements for investment. For example, some may require the investor already be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. Others may not have such requirements. Retaining an experienced EB-5 attorney, like those at our law firm, can help you develop an approvable strategy for your U.S. Immigration goals.
