Every Question You Could Possibly Have About the Grenada/E2 Solution – Answered

The Grenada citizenship by investment and E2 visa route to residency in the United States is quickly becoming one of the most popular investment migration program combinations in the market, allowing investors and their families to not only become citizens of a first-rate Caribbean country but also to live and work in the United States long-term, all for a total investment roughly equal to that of the US EB-5 program and, crucially, in a matter of months rather than years.

In this panel, we’ve brought together representatives from each step on the way to a new citizenship in Grenada and a residency permit in the United States:

• Developer Mohammed Asaria of Range Developments, representing the first step; investing in Grenada.
• Accredited local agent and lawyer Margaret Wilkinson of Infinity Grenada, representing the second step; applying for and obtaining citizenship in Grenada.
• Bob Kraft and Jennifer Sherer of FirstPathway Partners, representing the third step; investing in an E-2 qualifying business in the United States (the Teriyaki Madness franchise).
• Angie Rupert of Rupert Law Group, representing the fourth and final step; applying for and obtaining an E2 visa in the United States for yourself and your family.

As Angie herself remarks in the video: “For someone whose goal is to get to the United States but is from a non-treaty country, this is your crew. From the time you get the idea until the time you are running a business in the United States, this is it!”
