West Park, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

It appears that someone is an eager beaver. You can sell your residence to whomever you choose, whether the person is a U. S. citizen, permanent resident, person on a nonimmigrant visa, or even someone who is illegal. But at present, an immigrant will not be able to get a green card buying a house for over $500,000. In the Senate bill for comprehensive immigration reform which is not yet law, there is provision for giving retiree visas to aliens who use $500,000 in cash to purchase one or more residences at an amount in excess of 100% of the assessed value; are at least 55 years of age and have health insurance; are not inadmissible to this country; will not seek public assistance; will not work other than to manage a residential property worth at least $500,000; and will reside in the U. S. in a residence worth more than $500,000. If and when this law passes, these qualifying individuals would receive renewable three-year visas and be allowed admission along with their spouses and children.

If your husband is seeking a temporary stay in the U.S. only, then the appropriate visa would depend on the nature and purpose of his trip to the U.S. If your husband is interested in U.S. Permanent Residency, then you would file an I-130 Immigrant Petition for an immediate relative. Please note that filing an I-130 could have adverse implications on his ability to visit the U.S. in certain temporary (nonimmigrant) statuses so the timing of any application needs careful consideration.
