I am Indian and researching on EB-5. If I apply for it by mid 2019 what is the approximate timeline to get the temporary GC? I am on L1 B visa which I can use for up to 5 years so wondering if it’s the right path? Please provide some evidence for timeline as USCIS bulletin states it’s current as of now.

Secondly has anyone looked or worked with Behring Co?

    If you start a successful business who cares whether you get a GC. Successful business is its own reward (literally, you can get rich).

    You guys seem to think this is meant to be a way to buy a greencard. That's just more of the abusive attitude that already ruined h1b and the India GC queue.

    Here's an idea:

    Instead of trying to game the system why not actually be an honest applicant. Invest money in a good business idea and really try to make it work. See if you can really build something bigger than you thought possible. Be an entrepreneur FOR REAL. Maybe a difference in the world by getting a successful business going.

    And if you're successful then eventually you will also get a greencard.

    That's the idea, so why are you talking about pulling your money out after you get the GC? Why are you not trying to build a business you'd be proud to grow for many years?

      Oh!! so another white guy who couldn’t take the fact that he is privileged. To be able to call a colored guy racist is also a privilege that I wouldn’t have. Al sharpton said, if it makes you feel uncomfortable, then I am doing my job right. So I am good!!!

    It will take at least 7-8 years to get real GC. You are risking your hard earned money until then with some unknown people .

    There is lots of scams happening in the EB5. There is no security for your money. Some companies already got bankrupted after being in few years. They investors got lost the money!!!

    I would say 7-8 years to get EAD and 2 years after to get GC.

    Not really, India retrogression expected to kick in sometime this year and for about 6 year wait. By the time your i526 is processed the backlog can increase . Your money needs to be at risk until your pd is available . Doesn't seem like a viable especially since it may need to change multiple hands , most projects are 4-5 years duration .
