They areall investment vehicles for wealthy foreigners seeking green cards to live in the United States.
Under American law, foreigners can get such visas if they invest at least $500,000 to create at least ten jobs in the country. Here is an example of how the program works.
A few years ago, Jordan Gagner and his wife needed to move from their home in Canada to a drier climate, like Arizona. At first, the possibility of moving south of the border permanently seemed unlikely.
But then he heard about the immigrant investor visa. He and several other foreign investors offered $500,000 each to build an assisted living center in Bellingham, Washington. Mr. Gagner was credited with creating lots of jobs during the recession and his whole family received green cards.华盛顿州的风力发电厂、爱达荷州的金矿、拉斯维加斯的新赌场以及佛蒙特的滑雪胜地扩建，这四样东西都有一个共同点：它们都是富有的外国人谋求绿卡，在美国长久居住的投资工具。
根据美国法律，外国人如果（在美国）投资至少50万美元，创造了至少10个就业岗位，那么就可以获得该绿卡。下面就举个例子介绍一下该项目是如何运作的。
几年前，乔丹·嘉格纳和他的妻子需要从家乡加拿大搬往像亚利桑那州一样气候略微干燥的地方。起初，跨过国界搬往南边似乎是不可能的事情。
但后来他听说了投资移民签证，他就和其他几个外国人每人出资50万美元在华盛顿贝灵汉建立了辅助生活中心。因在经济衰退期间创造了大量就业岗位，嘉格纳先生和他的全家都获得了绿卡。
