EB-5 Immigrant Investor and LLC structuring
I am pursuing an EB-5 immigrant investor visa and plan to invest through a regional center. My attorney mentioned structuring the investment through an LLC. How does the LLC structure work for EB-5 investments, and what are the tax obligations once I receive conditional permanent residency? I want to understand the tax implications from the investment phase through to obtaining my green card.
