What happens after 2 years for an entrepreneur in the targeted area?

After two years, an entrepreneur in the targeted area can apply for permanent residency with an approved petition. This process typically follows their participation in a program designed to support immigrants who are establishing or expanding businesses that benefit the U.S. economy.

Eligibility for applying for permanent residency means that the entrepreneur has likely demonstrated their commitment to their business operations, job creation, and overall contributions to their community. The ability to apply for permanent residency is a vital transition step, highlighting the importance of supporting immigrant entrepreneurs as a means to drive economic growth and innovation in the targeted areas. This pathway also reinforces the idea that the U.S. encourages investment and entrepreneurial spirit, paving the way for long-term contributions to the country.
