This will definately help her to get the visa. However, if this is a cash purchase she could have taken 50k (USD) down to the embassy in San Jose and put it down as a security. I helped alot of wealthy Chinese get to the US that way when I lived in Indonesia. The going rate can vary from 40-50k depending on risk factor. The house is probably not a very good investment with CR the way it is. But more power to her. Good luck.


Good info. Do you know which visa this qualifies for.

I have been studying the immigration options. K-1 Fiance Visa (Hell to the No!), H-1 "look see" Visa, E-1 and E-2 Investor Visa, L-1 Business Owner or Key Personnel Visa, and EB-5 Green Card Visa requires business investment of $1M and 10 new full time jobs or $500k in a TEA and 10 new full time jobs.

Do you know which visa the $50K deposit qualifies? Is the $50K refundable?



I believe it is a tourist visa. Usually good for 90 days.THe money is refundable. My ex-wifes uncle is one of the wealthiest men in SEA. He comes to the US three times a year, mostly to gamble. Each time he leaves Indonesia he takes 50k down to the US embassy and puts it on deposit.His visa is extended on the spot and he's off to Las Vegas.When he returns he stops by the embassy and picks up his money. He's been using the same brown bag of money for the last 10 years.

I don't think it will be a H-1 Visa. Those are for foreign workers.


my understanding of the H-1 is that it does not permit any type of renumerated work, other than expense reimbursement?

E's, L's, and EB-5's are investor visas requiring jobs and investment in the USA.
