How will EB-5 conflict with a family visa application?

None you can have parallel applications in different categories at any given time.

There are no conflicts. You may have multiple applications in various categories.

There should be no conflicts or obstacles with your family-based petition.

It''s a great question. You can still file an investors petition and file an application for conditional permanent residency on the basis of the EB-5 investment. You can file the EB-5 petition even though you have your brother''s immigrant petition for you still pending.

A pending family-based immigrant petition for an alien relative has no effect on, or conflict with, your processing for an EB-5 immigrant investor petition.

A green card through brother, a family visa application, is vastly different from a green card through EB-5, investment visa, in terms of application requirements, processing times, costs and qualifications of the petitioners. The only commonality to both visa groups is that the beneficiary is the same. There is no conflict between the two visa categories. You can apply for both visas. However, you should declare on your EB-5 application, which is the latter of the two, that you do have a green card application pending through your brother. This is to avoid misrepresentation. If you need further consultation, feel free to ask our office as further information may allow you to get in-depth advice.

You may be required to formally withdraw the family-based application, but there shouldn''t be a problem with submitting the I-526 and obtaining conditional permanent residency with the family application pending.

There is no conflict. An individual may pursue several/many visa/residence paths at the same time.

Thank you for your inquiry. There won''t be any conflicts; you''ll just be able to move to the United States faster (assuming the EB-5 case is approved).

There should be no conflict. You can pursue both applications at the same time.

It should have no impact at all.
