EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program offers foreign investors a unique pathway to U.S. residency and citizenship through a carefully structured process. By investing in a job-creating U.S. enterprise, ainvestors and their families can secure permanent residency and eventually U.S. citizenship. While this journey may seem complex, Beyond Global Partners is here to simplify each step, guiding investors from the initial paperwork all the way to realizing their American Dream.
Step 1: Apply for a Conditional Green Card
EB-5 journey begins with securing a Conditional Green Card, a temporary residency permit valid for two years. To qualify, investors must commit at least $800,000 in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA) or $1,050,000 in other locations, ensuring that their investment supports or creates 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers. The application process involves filing Form I-526, marking the start of a transformative journey. Beyond Global Partners is here to streamline this process, assisting clients with everything from project selection to documentation to ensure that the initial application is seamless and efficient. Our team’s guidance at this stage establishes a strong foundation for future success.
Step 2: Two-Year Conditional Residency Period
Upon approval of Form I-526, investors receive a Conditional Green Card, allowing them to reside in the U.S. for two years. During this period, they must meet the EB-5 job creation requirements, choosing between direct investments that create jobs within their own enterprise or Regional Center investments that permit indirect job creation. Beyond Global Partners offers ongoing support during this period, providing regular updates and overseeing compliance with job creation requirements to ensure a smooth path to permanent residency. By managing the complexities of this stage, we help our clients remain informed, compliant, and on track.
Step 3: Transition to Permanent Residency
After fulfilling the two-year conditional period, investors can apply for a permanent Green Card by filing Form I-829. This application removes the conditions on residency and requires proof that the investment met job creation requirements and was legally sourced and maintained. Approval of the I-829 petition grants the investor and their family permanent Green Cards, allowing them to live and work in the U.S. indefinitely. Beyond Global Partners handles the I-829 filing, guiding investors in compiling and submitting evidence to meet USCIS standards, ensuring compliance and paving the way to a secure, permanent future in the U.S.
Step 4: Naturalization and U.S. Citizenship
After 5 years of residency (starting from the date of the Conditional Green Card issuance), EB-5 investors and their families may apply for U.S. citizenship by filing Form N-400. This stage involves demonstrating English proficiency, knowledge of U.S. civics and a record of good moral character. Beyond Global Partners offers resources, preparation materials and tailored advice for clients approaching naturalization, ensuring they feel confident and well-prepared for their citizenship interviews and tests.
