Key EB-5 Petitions and How We Help
Here!s how U.S. Visa India Services assists in filing each critical petition under the EB-5 pathway:
★ Form I-526E
Petition by Regional Center Investor
Timeline: 6–12+ months (subject to USCIS workload and visa availability)
This is the foundational petition that establishes your eligibility as an EB-5 investor. It documents the lawful source of your investment funds and your commitment to a qualifying U.S. project.
How We Help:
- Full documentation support for lawful source of funds
- Coordination with regional centers to gather project documentation
- Partnering with immigration attorneys to ensure the petition is legally sound
- Ongoing status tracking and assistance with RFEs (if any)
★ Form I-485
Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status
Timeline: 12–20 months (varies by location and visa category)
Available only if you are in the U.S. and your EB-5 visa category is current under the Visa Bulletin
If you are already in the U.S. on another visa (like F-1, H-1B, etc.), you may be eligible to file Form I-485 concurrently with I-526E under new EB-5 rules. This allows you to adjust your status without returning to your home country.
How We Help:
- Eligibility assessment for concurrent filing
- Preparation of all biographic and medical documentation
- Filing I-485 concurrently with I-526E when applicable
- Guidance on maintaining legal status during processing
★ Form I-765
Application for Employment Authorization (EAD)
Timeline: ~3–6 months (after concurrent filing of I-485)
Filing I-765 with your I-485 gives you the ability to work legally in the U.S. while your green card is being processed.
How We Help:
- Filing I-765 concurrently with I-485
- Document preparation and tracking
- EAD renewal assistance if needed
★ Form I-131
Application for Advance Parole (Travel Document)
Timeline: ~3–6 months
Filing I-131 allows you to travel internationally while your I-485 is pending. This is crucial for business, family, or emergency travel needs.
How We Help:
- Filing I-131 alongside your I-765 and I-485
- Guidance on safe travel and reentry while under parole
- Renewal assistance if Advance Parole expires before adjustment is completed
