Several overseas businessmen contemplate making investments abroad, notably in the United States, to help their companies thrive. Others want to invest millions of dollars in the country to generate full-time jobs. To that end, the US Citizenship and Immigration Service established the EB-5 visa program in order to boost the local economy through international investment. In exchange for this investment, the United States of America provides potential investors with a visa that allows them to apply for a green card. The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program is intended to generate economic employment. As per the US Citizenship and Immigration Services, business entrepreneurs and their families can travel to the US (and apply for green cards) provided they meet two basic requirements: (1) Can fund a commercial US firm; (2) Can create or maintain ten US jobs. If you wish to contribute to the cause, you can employ an EB-5 visa lawyer from Sidman. Despite the fact that it is a complicated and time-consuming process, our EB-5 visa attorney in Los Angeles can help you protect your assets.
The following criteria must be met in order to be eligible for an EB-5 visa:
The success of the EB-5 investments ultimately results in permanent resident status in the United States of America, along with a spouse and a minor unmarried kid, once you have satisfied all of these requirements.
The decision to file a petition yourself or engage an EB-5 visa immigration lawyer in Los Angeles rests solely with you as the investor. However, hiring an EB-5 investor visa attorney is advised to ensure that your work is error-free and hassle-free. The application for an EB-5 visa involves numerous important steps, including:
Selecting an EB-5 project that qualifies
The initial step, whether taken by you or your EB-5 visa lawyer, is to identify the project that best fits the standards. Your EB-5 visa immigration attorney must consider your green card and return on investment before choosing the project. Even if the green card is the biggest advantage, the return is crucial.
Prepare the EB-5 petition and make the investment
Your EB-5 investor visa attorney will submit the EB-5 petition on your behalf to the USCIS once you have completed the investment. Your investment will be demonstrated by this petition. Your EB-5 visa attorney will next sign the I-526 criteria to let the USCIS know that you have fulfilled all requirements.
Two years of conditional permanent residency
Your I-526 will be authorized once your EB-5 visa immigration attorney has been successful in getting it accepted, and you will then be given two years of conditional permanent status. However, there are two routes you can take to reach this status:
For each of these forms, there are particular specifications. Requirements for I-485 and D-260 are as follows:
Interrogation by the consular
The United States of America’s local embassy or consulate will host your interview. Whether to approve D-260 and I-485 will be decided after this interview.
Removal of conditions
If both forms are authorized, your EB-5 visa lawyer will file Form I-829 along with a number of other crucial paperwork on your behalf. Once all of the aforementioned stages have been approved, the conditions are lifted, and you are now a permanent resident of the United States.
The most significant visa category, EB-5, includes a lot of advantages. With the assistance of an EB-5 visa attorney, you should absolutely invest in the United States of America if you are financially capable of doing so. A few advantages that will speed up your visa application include:
Considering all of these advantages, starting an investment in the United States of America and employing an EB-5 investor visa lawyer are strongly advised.

As per the U.S. State Dept., employment-based immigration involves three categories: (1) People with extraordinary ability, meaning those who have reached a high level of acclaim and recognition in their fields; (2) outstanding professors and researchers on the path to tenure; and (3) executives or managers employed with multinational U.S.-based corporations.
The EB-2 visa represents the so-called “second preference” under U.S. immigration law. There are two categories under the EB-2 visa: (1) Professionals who have an advanced degree (above and beyond the baccalaureate degree), or, in rarer instances, those who have only a baccalaureate degree but relevant experience in his or her field; and (2) those with “exceptional ability” in the arts and sciences or in business, as demonstrated by evidence.
Available for skilled workers, professionals and unskilled workers (other workers). A labor certification and a permanent, full-time job offer are required to become eligible.
Available for ‘special immigrants’ including religious workers, special immigrant juveniles, broadcasters, G-4 International Organization or NATO-6 employees and their family members, armed forces members, Panama Canal Zone employees, certain physicians, Afghan and Iraqi Translators, Afghan and Iraqi nationals who have provided faith service in support of U.S. operations.
The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program is designed around economic job growth. As per U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, entrepreneurs and their families may immigrate to the U.S. (and are green card eligible) provided that they meet two basic criteria: (1) Can invest in a commercial U.S. business (2) Can create or preserve 10 jobs for U.S. workers.
Hi Bernie
My interview last week Thursday went flawlessly.
The interviewing officer was from Romania, where I’ve been multiple times, so we had a great connection.
They scheduled our Oath Ceremony the same day, and I became a US citizen on Feb 3, 2022.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me on my journey to become a US citizen.
I’m incredibly fortunate to have an attorney that believes in me and my abilities and gave me the confidence to pursue the American Dream.
I hope to make you even more proud of my future careers and life experiences in the US.
– Grant Wheeler
