Here is a step-by-step flowchart explaining the EB-5 immigrant visa (green card) process via an American Consulting.
Investor analyzes business & makes investment
Gather necessary documents, prepare & file I-526 petition with USCIS
USCIS decides I-526 petition
Once I-526 is approved, USCIS sends file to National Visa Center (NVC)
Submit DS-260 with supporting documents to NVC for review
NVC gets security clearances, processes case, sends it to Consult in applicant’s homecountry for interview
Consult interviews investor & family
Immigrant visa approval, investor & family immigrate to the U.S. as conditional residents
Wait 21 months
File I-829 removal of conditional resident status, i.e., prove 10 jobs created & investment maintained for final green card
