Consulate Application and Interview
If you are already in the United States when your Form I-526 is approved, you will simply apply to adjust your status to conditional permanent resident via an I-485 petition. If you are out of the country, however, you will have to undergo an intermediate step before you can immigrate to the U.S.
The EB-5 application and approval process can be long and strenuous. However, we can help make this procedure as smooth as possible. To discuss your desires to immigrate the U.S. for business purposes, please contact the knowledgeable EB-5 attorneys from White & Associates today at 818-730-3540.
The Interview Process
Even after you submit a Form I-526, you may still have to interview at a U.S. Consulate before obtaining your proof of permanent residency, often called a “green card.”At the U.S. Consulate, you will have your fingerprints taken and undergo a physical examination before being interviewed. The primary function of the interview is to allow immigration officials to question you regarding your immigration information to make sure that your answers corroborate the paperwork that has already been approved.
Grounds of Inadmissibility
If the consular investigation reveals any of the following, however, the U.S. Consulate might decide not to issue a visa despite the fact that an I-526 has been approved:
- Health-related problems
- Criminal past
- Terrorist activities
- Security and foreign policy issues
- Misrepresentation
Any of these grounds of inadmissibility can block you from reaching your goals of becoming a permanent resident in the United States.
