General Steps

The Foreign Investor must complete three phases of the application process to become a permanent US resident:

Step 1 - To obtain immigrant investor status, the Foreign Investor must submit a completed Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur Form (Form I-526) to US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) along with supporting documentation clearly demonstrating that the investment meets all EB-5 requirements. Orlando EB-5 Investments provides all the necessary documentation to the Investor’s attorney to satisfy the requirements for the EB-5 investment application in a Regional Center.  Upon approval of the I-526 Petition, this will be the foundation for Step 2.

Step 2 - If the Foreign Investor is residing within the US and has received Form I-526 approval, he or she may obtain conditional resident status by submitting a completed Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status (Form I-485) to USCIS. If residing outside the US, the Foreign Investor must apply for an immigrant visa at a US Consulate abroad.  The Investor’s attorney will instruct the EB-5 Investor and family with the location and required procedure.

Step 3 - During the 90-day period prior to the expiration of the conditional period, the Investor should file a completed Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions (Form I-829) to USCIS. In this petition, the Foreign Investor must demonstrate that the investment was sustained over the two-year conditional period, and the requisite jobs were created. The Orlando EB-5 Investments Fund provides the required documentation to satisfy the EB-5 employment creation through a Regional Center to the Investor’s attorney.  Upon approval of the I-829 petition, the conditional nature of the green card is lifted and full permanent residence is granted to the investor and the investor’s family members under 21 years of age.
