Great!

Can part of the funds be financed from a bank or financial institution, if yes, how much minimum payment an investor need to put. For instance, I have 35% of the total required funds.

[@goldengateglobal-eb5]

Yes, investors can indeed finance a portion of the required funds through various means. Options include obtaining a gift, taking out a home equity line of credit, or securing a loan against an existing investment portfolio. Additionally, certain EB-5 project providers may offer financing options directly to investors. It's important for EB-5 investors to meticulously document the sources of their investment funds, regardless of whether they are personal savings, gifts, or loans.

Hello, i want to ask, is there any travel restrictions out of USA after getting EAD till the time we get Conditional Green card and then removal of conditions??? Can we go outside USA or home country during the whole process????

[@abhinavlohia]

Hi, along with your application for adjustment of status, you will also be filing an application for advance parole. This is usually approved in 8 to 10 months. This allows you to travel overseas while your EB5 visa application is pending.

USCIS’ website states that they took 60 months to process 80% of the I-526 petitions. There are backlogs with Chinese and Indian applicants. What is the processing time for Canada?

[@goldengateglobal-eb5]

Visa issuance is based on a country of birth. For Canada-born applicants, the timeline for issuance of a green card should be between 2 & 3 years from the filing date.

sorry, did not understand the last part. If invested and got the green card in 3 years and loan is 5 years, do we get the amount back after 2 years from the date we receive green card?

[@goldengateglobal-eb5]

The EB-5 program stipulates a minimum investment sustainment period, which, according to USCIS interpretation, lasts for 2 years from the moment the investment funds are actively employed in the project. However, it's important for investors to understand that, due to the commercial realities facing most developers, the timeline for the repayment of funds typically extends to between 4 and 5 years unless the fed rates are drastically slashed. Given these variables, EB-5 investors are advised to approach their investment with the expectation of a 4 to 5-year loan term.

Hi, based on the above ppt, will it take more than 7 years if everything clicks, right?

[@abhinavlohia]

To get an unconditional green card it will take around 7-8 years. However, to receive a conditional green card and become a permanent resident of the United States it will take about 3 years.
