The EB-5 Green Card, also known as the EB-5 Investor Visa, represents a unique pathway for foreign investors and their families to gain permanent residency in the United States. Our law firm offers expert guidance on this process, ensuring a comprehensive understanding and successful application.

Understanding the EB-5 Green Card

The EB-5 Green Card is an immigrant visa category designed for foreign investors. It allows them and their immediate family members to live and work permanently in the U.S., leading to a Green Card or permanent residency.

Eligibility Criteria for the EB-5 Visa

To qualify for the EB-5 visa, applicants must:

1. Invest either $1,050,000 in a Non-Targeted Employment Area or $800,000 in a Targeted Employment Area or a Regional Center.

2. Create or preserve at least ten full-time jobs for U.S. workers.

3. Prove that the investment funds were obtained lawfully and provide evidence of the source.

The EB-5 Green Card Process

1. Application and Approval: File Form I-526 to demonstrate meeting the EB-5 requirements and evidence of your investment.

2. Conditional Green Card: After approval of Form I-526, receive a conditional Green Card valid for two years.

3. Job Creation: Within two years, fulfill the requirement of creating at least ten full-time jobs.

4. Removal of Conditions: File Form I-829 before the conditional Green Card expires to transition to a permanent Green Card.

5. Permanent Green Card: Approval of Form I-829 leads to receiving permanent Green Cards for you and your family.

Timeframe for the Process

The process typically takes 18 to 30 months from filing Form I-526 to receiving the conditional Green Card. The transition to a permanent Green Card may take an additional 12 to 18 months.
