Application Process

People seeking visas under the immigrant investor provisions must first file with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) a Form I-526, Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur, together with the required supporting documentation.

The application process for an EB-5 visa is one of the most complex in the United States immigration system. It is crucial to consult with an immigration expert with a depth of experience in this specialized area. The Law Offices of Robert P. Gaffney has over 35 years of experience specializing in EB-5 immigration matters. Contact us at 415-503-9653 to speak with one of our skilled lawyers.

The Approval Process

An investor is assigned a priority date under the visa quota system based on the date the petition is filed. After approval of the petition by USCIS and upon availability of a visa under the immigrant visa quota system, qualified investors and their accompanying family members (spouses and unmarried children under 21) may apply for their immigrant visas at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in their country of citizenship or residence abroad.

Eligible people in the U.S. in lawful nonimmigrant status may apply for permanent resident status with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services by filing an application to adjust status.
