Hello folks,
We are foreigners a few years from retiring, and we are planning to move to the US and enter the fulltime RV lifestile as soon as we retire; I posted a message introducing us here.
Of course, we want do it legally.
Has anyone else here done that? Vall has a good prospect on getting a job in an US company which automatically sponsors all foreign employees for a green card, but if that doesn't work out, I would like to have a "backup plan" (fulltime RVing in the US is just too good an idea to let it fail).
We have been reading a lot on special VISAs etc and so far, it looks like our best bet would be to try and get an EB5 visa on a qualified RC ($500K initial investment plus around $70K in taxes and lawyer fees), but we are worried as there's really no guarantee that we will have the money back someday (to say nothing of a decent ROI), and no guarantee that we will have a permanent green card after the 2 year "evaluation period" ends... and $570K is just too much money for a 2-year stay visa).
Any advice, experiences, hints etc are very welcome.
Thanks,
