Indians flock to America's 'golden visa' as H-1B route closes

[Amrita]

Facing a crackdown on their favorite visa to enter the United States, hundreds of wealthy Indians are turning to another program that fast tracks immigrants to a green card.

Applications from India for EB-5 visas -- which give immigrants a green card if they invest $500,000 and create 10 jobs in the United States -- have surged in recent months.

The US government issued 174 such visas to Indians in the year ended September 2017, an increase of about 17% over the previous year, according to State Department data.

Interest has taken off since then. In October and November, the United States received another 307 applications from India for what is often referred to as the "golden visa."

Indian demand for EB-5 visas has "really become explosive in the past 12 months," Neil Weinrib, an immigration lawyer based in New York, told CNNMoney.

Reacting to the H-1B crackdown

The spike comes as the US government makes it harder to get H-1B visas, whichallow skilled foreign workers to be employed in the United States. More than 70% of H-1B visas have been awarded to Indians in recent years.
