A LITTLE MORE CLARITY

Questions, answered.

The application, qualifying conditions and outcome for United States. Choose a service to see its specific answers.

How can this route lead to permanent residence and citizenship?

Conditional permanent residence: An approved EB-5 immigration case can lead to a two-year conditional green card once visa availability and admission or adjustment requirements are met. Remove the conditions: File Form I-829 during the required period and demonstrate the qualifying investment and job creation. This preserves permanent resident status. US citizenship · usually from 5 years: The usual naturalisation basis requires five years as a permanent resident, including qualifying conditional residence, with continuous residence and 30 months of physical presence. English, civics and good character are also assessed. EB-5 has a direct permanent-residence structure. The five-year naturalisation clock is not measured from the investment payment.
