Immigration Attorneys DirectoryThe EB-5 visa process and EB-5 investment petition can now be concurrently filed with your Application for Adjustment in the U.S., with your family: investor, spouse, and minor children. The EB-5 investor can pursue a process with their own business, or an EB-5 Regional Center business operated and owned by another entrepreneur.

Immigration Attorneys DirectoryThat’s a very broad question that generally requires a comprehensive consultation with an immigration attorney based on your specific circumstances and qualifications. There are various family- or employment-based immigration options. There are also various nonimmigrant visa options to work, study, visit in the US. Main advantage is that EB-5 is an immigrant visa leading to a conditional 2-year green card, then to a permanent green card after removal of the conditions, and then ultimately to a US citizenship.
