Permanent Residency for H-1B Professionals, Foreign Students, and Other Non-Immigrant Visa Holders

Currently employed or recently laid-off H-1B workers and foreign students in the U.S. can adjust their immigration status immediately upon an EB-5 filing.

With the 5-year reauthorization and reform of the EB-5 Regional Center Program in March 2022 and the introduction of the new concurrent filing option allowing U.S.-based investors to promptly change their status, EB-5 became a fast and predictable path to permanent residency.

Topics covered include:

• What is EB-5? How does it differ from other immigration options?
• Who is this program for?
• Staying in the U.S. while awaiting your permanent residency?
• What is the regional center program?
• The role of the immigration attorney
• Main considerations for investment
• Next steps to begin the process
