EB5 visa

Jul 27, 2021 23 Comments

Hello blinders,
I am an H1B visa holder, I am recently thinking about getting the PR through EB5 category. Any lawyer recommendations or experiences welcomed. Any stories to dissuade me against it?
Thinking to go through the 500k route.

YoE 7
TC 460k

    The 900k/1.8M increase was for a specific period of time. It expired a couple months ago and went back to 500k/1M. But a few days later, the entire EB5 investment visa program was suspended.

      It’s only the regional center EB-5 that has been suspended. The EB-5 program is otherwise still operating as usual.

    Some rule changed recently due to court ruling and it’s back to $500k. Processing fee would be around another 50k to 100k depending on the regional center. However the visa bulletin the visa numbers are marked Unavailable so you may end up waiting for a long time. The money is locked for at least 5 years or until you receive your greencard with no interest and at full risk. Think twice before you go ahead.

    I checked with lawyers and they said it's still 500k in low income states.
