Hello everyone, I am Dami Sister.

Some time ago, I talked to you about some of the current situation of American immigration, which mentioned the new policy on investment immigration in the United States. Many people are interested in the new policy and want me to tell you the specific situation.

Today, let’s talk about the application process that most people are more concerned about.

invests in immigration to get a green card through the US EB5. There are about 3 processes. Before introducing the process, there are several concepts that everyone needs to understand first.

I-526 Form : The first form required to fill in to apply for investment immigration in the United States is the first and most important step to obtaining a green card through investment immigration. It is suitable for direct investment immigration applicants.

I-526E: It is basically the same as I-526 forms and is suitable for regional center investment immigration applicants.

I-485 form : Application form required for applicants in the United States to apply for a permanent green card.

I-829 Form : The last step to applying for a US investment immigration visa. After approval, investors, spouses and unmarried children under the age of 21 can meet all conditions for permanent residence in the United States.

EAD card : Work permit, used to grant temporary employment permits to foreigners in the United States, and the holder can work legally in the United States.

Return to the US Certificate : A document specifically for those foreigners applying for green cards who can re-enter the United States without needing an immigration visa or non-immigrant visa after leaving the United States for a period of time. The validity period is generally one or two years.

Combo card : The merging product of EAD card and the U.S. certificate, this is how it looks.

figure out these concepts, let’s look at what stages it takes to get a US green card through investment immigration.

Phase 1: I-526 application for

, submit an application for I-526 (direct investment project) or I526E (regional center project), waiting for review by the Immigration Bureau.

. Applicants in the United States can submit I-485 applications, return to the United States certificate and EAD work card at the same time. We call "double submission" . About half a year to a year, two cards are signed at the same time, which is called combo cards.

is a major benefit for the international student group. They no longer have to worry about returning to China if they fail to draw the H1b (work visa).

3. After getting the combo card, you can find a job normally in the United States, or enter and exit the United States at any time.

Phase 2: After applying for a conditional green card

and I-526 are approved, under the new policy, your reserved visa is not scheduled. If you are outside the United States, you can quickly go to the Guangzhou Consulate for an interview and successfully get the conditional green card. Next, you can prepare to log in to the United States.

. If the person is in the United States, the US Immigration Bureau will directly issue you a conditional green card.

3. The term of a conditional green card is 2 years. During these 2 years, you can work and live normally in the United States.

Phase 3: Apply for a permanent green card

. After the 21st month after obtaining the conditional green card in the second phase, you can submit an I-829 application to the US Immigration Bureau.

. After the US Immigration Bureau approves your application, the identity you get is a permanent green card.

3. The process of obtaining a US green card through EB5 investment immigration is over. When the investment period is over, you can choose to withdraw funds or make a second investment.

I have compiled these three stages into a flow chart for everyone to make it easier for everyone to figure out the preparations needed for each stage.

I have also sorted out a few questions you have asked recently to answer them.

Question 1: Under what circumstances are double submission allowed? The premise for double submission of

is that has no scheduled schedule + new legislation allows . When more and more potential investors notice the advantages of the new bill, they will continue to join the team. Under the new policy, the scheduled schedule of mainland applicants for EB-5 will eventually come, and the double delivery route will eventually be closed.

Question 2: Which groups of people are beneficial?

The biggest benefit group is international students studying in the United States. Although the maximum validity period of OPT (graduate work visa) is 3 years, the probability of winning the H1b (work visa) is very low, especially for undergraduates.

investing in immigration through EB5 can quickly obtain a conditional green card to solve the identity problem and stay in the United States smoothly.

Question 3: Why do most customers choose regional center projects instead of direct investment projects without scheduled schedules?

The basic requirements for applicants for investment immigration in the United States, in addition to funds, the most important thing is to create 10 jobs, and the regional center project is a relatively simple and reliable immigration route.

Overall, direct investment is more risky, not only does it require direct creation of at least 10 full-time jobs, but it is not easy to maintain the survival of startups in the highly competitive United States.

regional center projects do not need to be directly managed by investors, but only need to review the project's issuance memorandum, business plan or project support documents, which is simpler for investors.

Question 4: Can old investors who are waiting for the old government and schedule arrears to participate in new investment projects through additional funds?

The answer is clear, no.

There are two ways for old investors to participate in the new policy. One is to withdraw the 500,000 US dollars invested before, and then add 300,000 US dollars to invest in new projects; the other is to invest in new projects with another 800,000 US dollars. Apart from this, there is no other way at present.
