What is the different with E-1/E-2 and EB-5 visas? Can get green card?

Is the investor immigrant visa/program from US immigration still exist? Any news or changes about it since 2007? What's detail about it? Is there a limitation about the applicant's nationality?(For anyone?) Investment Amount required? How much? Other Options? How long it will take to get the green card? Links to the US immigration detailed E1/E2 and EB-5 website and a detailed explained answer will choose as the best answer. Thank you very much!!

Answer:
E-1 Treaty trader, spouse, and children entering the U.S. under provisions of a treaty of friendship, commerce and navigation (i.e., involving trade, commerce and service) to which the U.S. and the alien's country are signatory.

The company must be majority owned by nationals of the treaty country and the alien must be a national of that country. For a list of treaty countries, see Appendix 32.1 of the Adjudicator's Field Manual. Alien must engage in duties of an executive or supervisory character, or if employed in a lesser capacity have special qualifications that make the alien's service essential to the efficient operation of the enterprise. All nonimmigrant grounds of inadmissibility apply.

To obtain a E visa is very complicated and yes it is a way to become a Legal Permanent Resident. I would recommend to have a professional immigration lawyer do all the paperwork.

Good luck!
Yes, the investor visa is still being issued. There are yearly limits. You have to invest a minimum amount of money (I believe it's $1 million dollars) and hire a minimum number of American citizens (I believe its 10).

It's a complicated process. You should hire an experienced immigration attorney in the US for assistance.
