How to get a green card is often the question you often hear from many Nigerians. Of course, there is no such thing as the US green card lottery and US immigration is strict when thinking about applying for a US visa in Nigeria. The American lottery or dv lottery is no longer a thing that the country (Nigeria) can submit a participation in anymore, so many people in this country are frustrated every day. However, obtaining a US green card is possible, even without an immigration lawyer or through a green card marriage. If you need a green card for yourself or your family, read on to find out how to get one if you have the money. The normal requirement for obtaining a US green card based on investment in a US company is $1 million. However, the investment amount could be reduced to $500,000 under certain conditions, namely if the company is located in a rural area or even an urban area with a high unemployment rate. How high? It must be at least 150% of the national average. Some state governments will identify the parts of that particular state/area considered to have high unemployment and will certainly send the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) a summary of which locations qualify. What if potential investors knew that a part of the United States they would like to invest in has a higher unemployment rate, but is not on the USCIS list? You can submit a letter from an approved state agency confirming that your business location can be designated as a high unemployment area. You can also contact the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) office of the US Bureau of Labor Statistics to get your hands on one of the published technical bulletins showing the unemployment rate in that area.
