Waiting for EB-5 Processing
Many people choose to come to the United States as investors with an EB-5 visa. However, it can take time for the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, or USCIS, to process the request. It is reasonable for an immigrant investor to travel or look for job opportunities while waiting for an EB-5 visa to be properly processed.
However, while the law does provide for a certain amount of flexibility prior to gaining legal residency in the country, this may require special authorization as a prospective immigrant. To discuss your EB-5 visa application and processing options, contact the knowledgeable EB-5 lawyers of White & Associates by calling 818-730-3540 today.
Allowances During EB-5 Processing
The immigration process allows certain freedoms to help potential immigrant investors to continue to work while they wait for legal permission to permanently stay in the United States. These permissions can be attained through the appropriate channels, often requiring certain paperwork and documentation. The following permissions are typically available for prospective immigrants:
- Temporary work visas
- Permission to travel internationally and re-enter the United States legally
- Ability to take your family with you for travel or work
These permissions are allowed while a person is waiting to hear about a Form I-485. This is a necessary step in the EB-5 process, but it does not need to be restricting.
