What is the grading criteria for retiring to the USA?

Question

I.E savings, pensions, etc.

Answer 1

You mean emigrating from UK to USA to retire ?

"Those wishing to retire in America, live in America say six months a year and have no kids under 21 years of age, should consider an E visa investment. In this case the E visa is more flexible both for tax purposes and there’s no requirement to come to the US for at least one time every six months. The US does not have a retirement visa category. The E visa is as close as it gets."

Eb(5) Immigrant Investors
· Individual invests $500,000 in a high unemployment area (150% of national unemployment rate) or $1,000,000 elsewhere and hires 10 persons within 2 years, or invests in a Regional Center and may use job multiplier studies instead of direct employment. Because this category has been controversial INS processing times are slow and unpredictable.

NB - see BLOG debate (last link below) about proposed 'Retirement Visa' that's spawned a rash of con-merchants and scam artists trying to part UK Retirees from their pension on the 'promise' of a US Visa .. it seems the proposal is still being kicked around congress (and going nowhere), but who knows ?
