Grounds Of Inadmissibility

Like all prospective immigrants to the United States, EB-5 immigrants, when applying for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status, must answer a list of questions bearing on the numerous grounds of inadmissibility under U.S. law and undergo background checks and a medical examination.

Retaining an experienced immigration attorney is crucial to protect your legal rights. Contact the Law Offices of Robert P. Gaffney at 415-503-9653 to consult with one of our business immigration experts.

Reasons That Determine Ineligibility

Grounds of inadmissibility include certain conduct that may pose a risk to the public or violate the law such as:

Certain criminal convictions for crimes against property or persons
Health concerns, including lack of vaccinations or the presence of a certain communicable disease
Visa status violations, including misrepresentations or overstays
Membership in certain political organizations

Please see the U.S. Department of State’s Foreign Affairs Manual for detailed information regarding each ground of inadmissibility and the potential discretionary waivers that may be available.
