What makes this program different from the L-1 (manager transfer) or E-1/2 (Treaty Trader/Investor)?
Participation in the Immigrant Investor programs yields permanent resident status. The E-1/2 Treaty Investor or Treaty Trader programs allow for nonimmigrant status only. When the qualifying trade PR investment ends, so does the non-immigrant status that has been granted to the alien. Likewise, the L-1 is a non-immigrant classification. Unlike E-1/2, an L-1 alien can apply for classification as a Multinational Executive or Manager. If such a case is approved, (which is becoming more difficult due to the high number of fraudulent cases and a subsequent tightening of the review process) the alien may apply for Permanent Resident status.
