Application Process

File a Form I-526, Petition by Alien Entrepreneur

Upon approval of the Form I-526 petition, either:

• File a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, with USCIS to adjust status to conditional permanent resident within the United States, or
• File a DS-230, Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration, with the Department of State to obtain an EB-5 visa for admission to the United States.



The EB-5 investor (and his or her derivative family members) is granted conditional permanent residence for a two-year period upon the approval of the I-485 application or upon entry into the United States with an EB-5 immigrant visa.

File Form I-829, Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions, 90 days prior to the two-year anniversary of the granting of the EB-5 investor's conditional resident status (Green Card). If USCIS approves this petition, the conditions are removed from the EB-5 applicant's status and the EB-5 investor and derivative family members will be allowed to permanently live and work in the United States.
