Fast-Track Your U.S. Residency with EB-5 Visa: Understanding Processing Time and Priority Options
Streamlining Your Journey to U.S. Residency Through EB-5
Embarking on the path to U.S. residency through the EB-5 Visa program is an exciting venture filled with opportunities. Paresh Karia, CEO of Acquest Advisors, guides you through the processing times and how to expedite your journey under the new EB-5 Visa program.
EB-5 Visa Processing: A Comprehensive Overview
The timeline for obtaining an EB-5 Visa can vary, influenced by factors like project location, the existing backlog, and legislative changes. Understanding these elements is crucial for setting realistic expectations and planning your migration journey effectively.
Initial application steps:
- Filing the EB-5 Visa application (Form I-526) is the first step, influenced by your source of funds’ clarity, project documentation, and investment remittance. This phase’s duration can range from weeks to months.
Adjudication Process:
- Once filed, your application undergoes scrutiny by U.S. immigration officers, with processing times ranging from months to years. Investing in rural or priority projects can lead to faster processing, leveraging the EB-5 priority processing avenues.
Project Approval and Visa Backlog:
- The approval of your I-526 petition is contingent on the USCIS approving the project youโve invested in. Also, country-specific visa backlogs can affect the timeline, which can be mitigated by choosing projects with set-aside visas or investing in priority areas.
Consular Processing:
- For applicants outside the U.S., this phase involves liaising with the National Visa Center and scheduling a consulate interview, spanning 6 to 12 months before visa issuance and U.S. entry.
Transition to Permanent Residency:
Upon U.S. entry, investors initially receive a conditional green card valid for two years. Investors must then demonstrate sustained investment and job creation to remove conditions and secure permanent residency, often streamlined through Regional Center investments.
The Benefit of Concurrent Filing:
For non-immigrant visa holders in the U.S., concurrent filing allows for the simultaneous application for an EB-5 Visa and adjustment of status, offering an expedited path to obtaining work authorization and travel documents.
