How can a San Francisco green card lawyer help bring my family to the United States under an EB-5 visa?

 

A: An EB-5 visa is an investment visa designed to promote job creation in the United States. Since the EB-5 visa program is beneficial to this country’s economy, investors are able to bring their families with them to America. However, the assistance of a San Francisco green card attorney is important to ensure the proper paperwork is completed in a timely manner.

A qualifying investor may bring in immediate family under the EB-5 visa program:

• Immediate family includes a spouse and children under the age of 21
• Family members are given conditional permanent residency status with the I-526 approval and immigrant visa application/adjust status approval (I-485)
• Family members are eligible to apply to remove the conditions after two years

A child over the age of 21 cannot be admitted to the United States under his or her parent’s immigrant investment visa application. However, you should contact an experienced California green card attorney if you have a child over the age of 21, as he or she may apply for other types of visas once legal permanent residence is established.
