Meanwhile, don't get caught out unprepared and unable to file your application at $500k, as happened to many applicants in the June window.
To ensure your application is ready, should a $500k window open for a short period, as it did from June 23 to June 30, your lawyer (immigration consultant) can begin preparing your application in anticipation of re-authorisation.
If the program is not re-authorised in the improbable event, your lawyer will switch your EB-5 application effort to Direct EB-5. Direct EB-5 has a higher denial rate and overall is less attractive than the Regional Centre EB-5 program. The relative popularity is 10%:90%. For those whose applications are successful, the green card immigration outcome is the same.
The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program enables you and your family to qualify for a U.S. Green Card without having to set up and manage a business. By investing $500,000 through a 'Regional Center' into a qualifying investment, you have the security of permanent U.S. Residency (U.S. Green Card) without repeated visa applications.
As U.S. Green Card holders, investors and their dependents have the right to live, work and study anywhere in the United States. All applicants (including children) have full access to the U.S. educational system as U.S. residents. After five years of entering the U.S., it is possible to apply for U.S. Citizenship.
Residency Invest assists investors and their families through the entire application process to ensure you meet the requirements for EB- 5 visa. From helping identify a qualifying EB-5 project to assisting with the document preparation and meeting all the families' relocation needs. Although most investors tend to apply through the Regional Center EB-5 programme, we can still assist investors who wish to invest directly into their own
Business, either through EB-5 visa or through the E-2 Visa route. EB-5 gives your family the security of Permanent U.S. Residency without repeated Visa applications

Step 5 – i526 Approval On average, i526's are currently taking 24 months to be approved by USCIS. Once the approval notice is received, your immigration attorney will notify us.

EB-5 Visa Update
President Biden reaffirms his enthusiasm for migration to the U.S.
President Joe Biden again shows his enthusiasm for talented foreigners bringing their skills to the U.S.
The Biden administration reverses the former Trump administration's intention to withdraw the International Entrepreneur Rule (IER) entrepreneur visas for international entrepreneurs, AKA the Start-up Visa Program.
This bodes well for the continuation of the EB-5 job-creating investor visa Program beyond June 30.
EB-5 is of particular importance to wealthy immigrant families as it is a straight-forward Green Card immigration visa leading to permanent residency and the option of a U.S. passport and citizenship. For young people choosing higher education in the U.S. residency confers lower education costs and higher U.S. salaries.
