How to become American ? Get a Green Card and then get a US Passport.

How to become American ? Get a Green Card, enjoy five years as US Permanent Resident and then get a US Passport. Easy ? Not on your own !

My Immigration Attorney, Mr Larry J. Behar, studied the different opportunities for my personal case; I am retired and not a Nobel Prize winner! He proposed to make an investment in an EB-5 Visa Regional Center and selected Jay Peak, Vermont for me, a nice existing ski resort needing a full renovation. Then we traveled together to Jay Peak to check the Pros and Cons.

As soon as I met Bill Stenger, Jay Peak General Manager, I knew it was the best choice. In my career, I was used to large project management and immediately I felt that Bill was hands on and will succeed.

Then paperwork, and paperwork and paperwork. It should have been a nightmare, but was in fact seamless, thanks to Rapid USA organization and the Caroll & Scribner team of lawyers.

I have had my temporary Green Card for more than a year now and with Caroll & Scribner we are working to verify all the conditions of the investment to get THE definitive one and successfully remove the conditional status.

Within four years from now, Larry will help me to apply for citizenship.

Easy ? Not alone !
