The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program provides foreign investors and their families with a streamlined path to U.S. citizenship through a qualified investment in the U.S. economy. By following 3 essential steps, foreign investors can achieve their goal of U.S. residency and eventual citizenship. At Beyond Global Partners, we specialize in supporting investors through each stage of the EB-5 process. Let’s dive in together!
Step 1: Obtain Your Conditional Green Card
The first step on the path to citizenship is securing a Conditional Green Card, which allows investors and their families to reside in the U.S. for 2 years. To qualify, investors must make a substantial financial commitment of at least $800,000 if investing in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA) or $1,050,000 for investments outside of TEAs. This investment must create or preserve at least 10 U.S. jobs, either through direct business ownership or by contributing to projects within a Regional Center.
How Beyond Global Partners Can Help?
We partner with top legal and financial experts to ensure that each client’s investment meets USCIS requirements. Our professional consultancy team simplifies the application process, guides investment choices, and helps navigate the documentation and regulatory steps to secure a Conditional Green Card efficiently.
Step 2: Your Permanent Green Cards Ready
After holding the Conditional Green Card for 2 years, investors become eligible to apply for a Permanent Green Card by filing Form I-829, which removes conditions on residency. This petition must show that the investment continues to meet the 10 job creation requirement and that funds were legally sourced and sustained within the U.S. economy. Approval of this stage grants permanent residency, allowing the investor and their family to live and work in the U.S. indefinitely.
What Is Beyond Global Partners’ Expertise?
We work closely with clients throughout the two-year conditional residency, ensuring that they are prepared with the necessary documentation to prove compliance with EB-5 requirements. Our legal team oversees the paperwork for I-829 petitions, keeping clients updated on USCIS timelines and helping make the transition to permanent residency smooth and stress-free.
Step 3: Let’s Apply for U.S. Citizenship
After 5 years of U.S. residency—beginning from the date of their Conditional Green Card—investors and their families become eligible for naturalization. The process includes proving U.S. residency for at least 30 months within the five-year period, passing English language and U.S. civics exams, and demonstrating good moral character.
