Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the timeline for the EB-5 process?

Most EB-5 applicants receive their initial work permit and travel document within 3–6 months after filing. Conditional green card approval takes approximately 12–24 months, with permanent residency issued later following conditions met and form I-829 approval. Timelines vary depending on project type and USCIS processing.

Will my entire family receive a green card?

Yes. Your spouse and unmarried children under 21 are eligible for green cards under your EB-5 application. You are all considered derivative beneficiaries and can live, work, and study in the U.S. as permanent residents.

How do I choose the right EB-5 project?

We help you evaluate projects based on your investment goals, risk appetite, return timeline, and immigration priorities. Our team performs due diligence and guides you through key factors like location, job creation metrics, capital structure, and exit terms.

Do you recommend having legal and financial documents reviewed?

Absolutely. We strongly encourage you to review all offering documents, subscription agreements, and escrow terms with independent legal and financial counsel. We can introduce you to experienced EB-5 professionals who focus specifically on investor protection and compliance.

What’s the difference between regional centers and direct EB-5 projects?

Regional center projects allow for indirect job creation and are typically structured to be more passive. Direct projects require active business involvement and only count direct jobs. Most investors prefer regional centers due to lower management requirements and broader job-count methodologies.

Can I use a loan to fund my EB-5 investment?

Yes, loans are permitted as long as they are secured by your personal assets—not by the EB-5 project itself. You must demonstrate a lawful source of funds and provide documentation showing your ability and intent to repay the loan.

Who holds my investment funds during the process?

Your funds are typically placed in an escrow account held by a third-party custodian until your I-526 petition is approved or until certain conditions are met. Each project may structure this differently. We help you review escrow terms carefully before committing.

What are the risks involved?

As with any private investment, EB-5 carries financial and immigration risks. Your green card is contingent on the success of the project in creating the required jobs. Capital is also at risk of loss. We evaluate projects carefully to minimize exposure while aligning with your goals.

What is a capital stack, and why does it matter?

The capital stack refers to how a project is financed—typically a mix of equity, senior debt, mezzanine debt, and EB-5 funds. Understanding where your capital sits in the stack helps determine your risk exposure and repayment priority.

How does the exit strategy work?

Each EB-5 project has a planned exit strategy for returning investor capital—commonly through project refinancing or sale after the job creation requirement and sustainment period are satisfied. We help assess whether an exit timeline is realistic and investor-friendly.

What are the overall costs involved?

In addition to the $800,000 or $1,050,000 investment (depending on TEA designation), expect additional costs including legal fees, administration fees (typically $50,000–$80,000), source of funds documentation, and government filing fees (approx. $15,000+). We provide a clear breakdown based on the project you select.

Is there a new $5 million rule?

No. The minimum investment amount is currently $800,000 for projects in Targeted Employment Areas (TEAs) and $1,050,000 for non-TEA projects.

What’s the timeline for the EB-5 process?

Most EB-5 applicants receive their initial work permit and travel document within 3–6 months after filing. Conditional green card approval takes approximately 12–24 months, with permanent residency issued later following conditions met and form I-829 approval.
