  1. I do not understand


  2. The content is really beneficial. I am planning to immigrate in a month or so and I was looking for this relevant information on the net. The blog is quite informative!


  3. I will agree that this visa is not easy to attain, but what visa is? What should be focused on is how beneficial this visa is to the nation and to the investor rather than how difficult the process is. I think most investors know going in that it will be difficult, but the gold at the end of the rainbow makes the difficulty more than worth it.
