Did you know that if you’re from a country experiencing long delays for a U.S. Green Card, Turkish citizenship could be your fast track to the E2 visa? By obtaining Turkish citizenship, you open the door to this quicker route into the U.S., thanks to a special investment treaty between Turkey and the U.S.
For instance, while Chinese citizens currently face a 7-8 year wait for the EB-5 Green Card, the Turkish E2 visa route offers a much faster alternative. If you’re from nations like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Nigeria, or the UAE, Turkish citizenship could be the key to bypassing lengthy immigration queues.
With U.S. immigration policies constantly evolving, Beyond Immigration seamlessly integrates inbound and outbound strategies, making sure you can move from one country to another with ease. We help you leverage the E2 visa, offering a practical and faster solution for relocation to the land of opportunity, USA.
