How soon should we apply for EB-5 visa after kids start university?

Our plan is for our children to study their pregrad in the U.S. starting next year. One just turned 18 this year and the second one will do next year. They are looking at several bachelor programs. We are looking at the best option to accompany them during their studies, but traveling to and from Vietnam is going to be burdensome. So we are looking at the EB-5 visa as an alternative. However, I am not sure whether right now is the right moment to apply because we don’t need to live in the US immediately; we still have to choose the University and everything for them.

It depends on your country of birth but you need to file before they are 21 and have them become conditional residents while they are under 21 or considered minors under the Child Status Protection Act.
