Form I-829 Petition Filing
Approximately 21 months after receiving your conditional Green Card, file Form I-829 (Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions) with USCIS. This petition requests the removal of conditions from your Green Card, transitioning it to unconditional permanent residency status.
Permanent Residency Achievement
Upon approval of your Form I-829 petition, the conditions are removed from your Green Card, and you are granted unconditional permanent residency in the United States. This marks the successful completion of your EB-5 Visa journey, providing you and your family with long-term residency and a path to U.S. citizenship if desired.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I invest in any business for the EB-5 Visa?
Investments must align with USCIS criteria, focusing on new commercial enterprises or troubled businesses that meet program requirements. It’s essential to consult with immigration professionals to ensure your investment qualifies.
Q: What is a Targeted Employment Area (TEA)?
A Targeted Employment Area (TEA) is a designated geographic region with high unemployment or rural status, offering reduced investment thresholds for EB-5 Visa applicants. Investing in a TEA can lower the required investment amount to $900,000.
