Two Florida members of Congress introduced a bill that would allow Venezuelans who arrived in the U.S. prior to Jan 1, 2013, to adjust status to permanent resident. No word on how likely this is to move forward.
Washington, D.C.—In response to the continued instability in Venezuela, Reps. Carlos Curbelo (FL-26) and Alan Grayson (FL-09), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (FL-27), and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) have introduced the Venezuelan Refugee Assistance Act, H.R. 3744, to provide immigration relief to Venezuelans that have long-resided in the U.S., unable to return to their homeland:
“For the past decade, thousands of Venezuelans were forced to flee the brutal Chavez dictatorship. The situation has not improved under his hand-picked successor, Nicolas Maduro. In the last few months alone we have seen countless examples of the regime’s thuggish tactics, unethical behavior, and lethal force. They’ve arrested top opposition leaders like Leopoldo Lopez and the Mayor or Caracas, and banned others from running for public office, like Maria Machado. They’ve also arrested over 3,000 opposition protestors in a riot that left dozens dead. This bill will help those Venezuelan nationals who have made a new home in the United States to remain here if they choose to since it is dangerous to return home.
Specifically, this legislation would address the issue by adjusting the status of Venezuelans that arrived in the U.S. prior to Jan 1, 2013 as long as they do not have a criminal record and were never involved in the persecution of others. They have until January 1, 2019 to register for adjustment.
I applaud the Venezuelan-American community in the United States for their continued efforts on behalf of the people of Venezuela and I stand in unity for their noble cause of justice and freedom and thank Rep. Grayson for his leadership throughout the years to help the Venezuelan people. I would also like to thank Reps. Ros-Lehtinen and Wasserman Schultz for being original co-sponsors,” said Rep. Curbelo.
“I’m proud to join my Florida colleague Rep. Carlos Curbelo in introducing this important piece of bipartisan legislation. The political turmoil in Venezuela demands that the United States do everything in its power to protect those who have been able to escape to freedom in America. We cannot in good conscience force Venezuelans to return to a country where they face arrest, torture, and execution only because they oppose the government. Granting them permanent residence status is the best, most logical way to ensure their safety. I thank Rep. Curbelo for all he has done for the Venezuelan American community, and look forward to working with him to see this legislation out of committee and onto the floor for a vote,” said Rep. Grayson.
Rep. Curbelo will be holding a press conference regarding H.R. 3744 on Tuesday, October 13, 2015 in his Miami district office.

Congratulations to Don Fisher for recently completing the naturalization process and becoming a U.S. citizen at the age of 90. Don first moved to the U.S. in 1984 and had E-2 Treaty Investor visa status from 1987 to 2010. After six consecutive E-2 visas Don married a U.S. citizen and became a permanent resident in 2010.
At age 90, Don is believed to be the oldest client in the 30 year history of Jaensch Immigration Law Firm to become a U.S. citizen. We took a picture of Don in the office with his Naturalization Certificate.
Don says the following about the process, “it was a challenge, but we did enjoy the chase.”

At our firm we see entrepreneurs, investors, and business people from around the world and we assist them in obtaining their version of the American dream.

As a result we have sought out and allied ourselves with the Florida Gulf Coast’s most qualified M & A professionals. Edward Valaitis, Certified Business Intermediary, is one of them.
E-2 and EB-5 Investors can Find a Valuable Resource in Mr. Valaitis

CEO of accounts receivable management firm serving hospitals, cities and medical groups.

Our immigration attorneys regularly work with foreigners who want to invest and start businesses in Florida. There are 2 main strategies we recommend to immigrant investors and entrepreneurs: the E-2 and EB-5 visas.
E-2 investor visas are popular with immigrant investors as a way to qualify by investing a substantial amount of money in a new or existing enterprise that is real and active and will either produce more than a living wage for the investor and his/her family or will make a significant economic contribution through job creation. The visa often allows an investor to stay in the US for 2 to 5 years and is renewable.
The E-2 visa can ultimately lead to an EB-5 green card if the investor invests $500,000 to $1 million and creates 10 new full time jobs. For more information on E-2 and EB-5 investor visas and their requirements please watch our latest video on the subject.
At ImmigrationSarasota.com we often receive notifications of businesses for sale. We like to share these opportunities with our readers who may be looking for a new investment opportunity or for a way to qualify for an E-2 and EB-5 business. Sharing this information does not constitute a statement that this business would help an investor qualify for visa. We need to see more detailed financial information in order to provide our opinion on the business’ viability. Any investor who may be interested can request the financial details from the business broker and present them to us for an opinion.

Sarasota immigration attorneys often work with immigrant investors and entrepreneurs who want to live and work and grow a business in the United States. Two of the strategies we recommend pursuing involve the E-2 and EB-5 investor visas. E-2 investor visas are popular with immigrants as a way to quailfy for residence based on an immigrant’s entrepreneuerialism. Immigrant investors qualify by investing a substantial amount in a new or existing enterprise that is real and active and will either produce more than a living wage for the investor and his/her family or will make a significant economic contribution through job creation. The visa often allows an investor to stay in the US for 2 to 5 years and is renewable. The E-2 visa can ultimately lead to an EB-5 green card if the investor invests $500,000 to $1 million and creates 10 new full time jobs. For more information on E-2 and EB-5 investor visas and their requirements please watch our latest video on the subject.
Large Business for Sale
As stated above, immigrant investors qualify for an E-2 Visa by investing a substantial amount in a new or existing enterprise. While we are not in the business of recommending enterprises to potential E-2 investors, we know many business brokers who are. Recently we heard from Tony Dempsey of Sunstate Business Brokers about a business he recently listed for sale that may help an immigrant investor qualify for an E-2 visa.
Mr. Dempsey reports that the business is a physical therapy clinic in a desirable location. Growth has been and continues to be outstanding, as has profitability. The owner has created a unique and dynamic business model with a diverse approach to securing multiple patient referral sources, large and diverse service offerings, bilingual staff, classes and clinics provided, revolutionary FDA approved technology, in addition to DME sales and a weight management program; all this coupled with first class billing and administrative systems. Part of the attractiveness of this business as a potential acquisition is the fact that the owner is no longer involved in the day to day running of the business; that being left to management and the other therapists. The owners currently spend much of their time out of state and will be moving westward to be close to their family and start another physical therapy clinic there.
The asking price is $999,000. Gross revenues: $1,184,518. Cash flow: $360,172. The business comes with $10,000 in inventory and $110,000 in furniture, fixtures, and equipment included. The clinic was established in 2005, and has 15 employees. It is located in a 2950 sq foot modern facility on a major traffic artery. Rent is $3200/month.
E-2 or EB-5?
Our assessment is that this investment opportunity could be an option for someone looking for an E-2, L-1 or EB-1 visa. But, this would not work for an EB-5 because the regulations normally require the creation of 10 new full time jobs. The only way it could work for an EB-5 would be:
If the business has a substantial loss for one out of the past 2 years (in which case, the EB-5 investor can qualify if it preserves 10 FT jobs) OR
The EB-5 investor creates 10 additional FT jobs within 2 years.
Small Business for Sale
Mr. Dempsey also shared a second, smaller business prospectus with us. He reports that a well established Franchise would provide the new owner with a repetitive revenue stream from the constant reordering of a highly consumable product in a Business to Business environment. This coupled with a productive retail/production facility captures additional revenues from the consumer marketplace. The owner is highly motivated and will offer financing for a financially qualified buyer.
This is an established local franchise store, one of 1600 franchised retail locations in 50 countries, that originally focused on the refill and remanufacture of ink and toner cartridges for printers, but which has now expanded to include an array of related services supporting home and office printer users. This includes offering HP and Canon printers for sale, which makes a perfect complement to the printer cartridges they offer. In fact, for more than 20 years the franchises have been not only perfecting the art of remanufacturing printer cartridges, but also providing world-class customer support for hundreds of new printer products. This local franchise services virtually any item that serves a printing function, including fax machines, postage meters, photocopiers and more. Their focus is on Business-to-Business but also service the end user retail market with a 100% guarantee on their OEM remanufactured ink and toner cartridges and special promotions throughout the year. They pick up and deliver in a 3 county area.
With $332,321 in gross income, 20,000 in inventory, and 2 employees, the asking price is $150,000.
Qualify for an E-2?
We urge investors to be aware that this business may not by itself help an investor qualify for an E-2 visa. However, it could be part of a successful strategy that includes other businesses or an expansion plan to open new locations. For any questions about these businesses please contact Tony Dempsey at Sunstate Business Brokers: 941-932-5512. For more information on how to qualify for an E-2 or EB-5 investor visa, please feel free to contact us: 941-366-9841.
E-2 investor visas are popular with immigrants as a relatively fast way to get permission to live and work in the US for an extended period of time. The visa often allows an investor to stay in the US for 2 to 5 years and is renewable. The requirements for an E-2 investor visa include a substantial investment in a new or existing enterprise that is real and active and will either produce more than a living wage for the investor and his/her family or will make a significant economic contribution through job creation. The E-2 visa can ultimately lead to an EB-5 green card if the investor invests $500,000 to $1 million and creates 10 new full time jobs. For more information on E-2 and EB-5 investor visas and their requirements please watch our latest video on the subject.
Possible Investment Opportunity
We recently learned about an investment opportunity that could potentially qualify an investor for an E-2 investor visa.
The business is called E Z Pack & Ship LLC (dba Eagle Shipping Center) and the asking price is $85,000. The business had revenues of $140,880 last year.
The seller reports the following: Eagle Shipping Center is one of several locations throughout Florida and an investor would be welcome into the Eagle Shipping family. An investor would enjoy the support of a large organization with an established and successful business model which offers economies of scale in web services and internet marketing. Each investor becomes part of a larger branding exercise. The central office sends leads to the investors and provides training. The seller says that this lowers overhead and also makes it feasible for a dedicated investor to learn the business in a short amount of time.
Important Note
Important note—we do not prequalify businesses for E-2 visas. However, the business could possibly form the foundation of an E-2 strategy if combined with another business, one or more additional locations, or can show resources and a strategy available to significant expand the business within five years.
Contact
Interested parties can contact the seller by phone: 561-401-7645.
The current owner started the business 3 years ago as part of a successful strategy to qualify for an E-2 Visa. He shared aE-Z Pack Ship – Sale Prospectus as well as several photos included below.
