The surest path to a green card may be an investor visa — for $500,000
Fresh out of Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles with a degree in applied information management systems, Ishaan Khanna landed an internship at Ticketmaster.com.
But after the U.S. government rejected his application for an H-1B visa - available to highly skilled workers in fields with a shortage of qualified Americans - he was forced to return home to India.
Determined to live and work in the U.S., Khanna pursued another option.
With the help of his father, he invested $500,000 in a Four Seasons Resort development project in Puerto Rico. That was the minimum investment needed for a visa known as the EB-5.
