FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I get my conditional green card?
You and your family receive a 2-year conditional green card. Near the end of this period, you must file Form I-829 to remove conditions and receive permanent residency — based on job creation and sustained investment.
What documents do I need to prove the source of funds?
You will need to provide detailed documents such as bank statements, tax records, business sale agreements, gift letters, or inheritance documents — depending on your funding source.
How long does it take to get the green card?
Processing times vary, but typically range from 12 to 24 months for the initial I-526E petition. Additional time is needed for visa issuance and consular processing.
Do I need to manage the business I invest in?
No. Most EB-5 applicants choose Regional Center projects, which allow for passive investment — no active business management is required.
Will my entire family be eligible for green cards?
Yes. Your spouse and unmarried children under 21 will be included in your EB-5 application and receive green cards along with you.
How much do I need to invest for the EB-5 visa?
The minimum investment is $800,000 if the project is located in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA). For projects outside TEA, the minimum is $1,050,000.
