We have clients who want to be in the United States already yesterday as one end of the spectrum. On the other end of the spectrum, we have clients who do not want to move to the United States at all but would like to get the green card and store it in their safe for a rainy day. USCIS views the EB-5 application as an indication of the intent of permanent residency. Unlike the other temporary visas like a tourist or student visas, they give this visa to people who want to move to the United States to live and work in the United States. Therefore, USCIS expects the applicant to move to the United States when the conditional green card is issued. That said, the government realizes that moving personal assets, family, business, etc., could take a while. Therefore, as long as the moving process has started, there is significant flexibility. We recommend that applicants make an entry to the United States once they obtain their conditional green card. Furthermore, they do not remain outside the United States for more than six months. Eventually, they make the necessary arrangements to move to the United States permanently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"template":"","faq_groups":[52],"class_list":["post-12564","faq","type-faq","status-publish","hentry","faq-group-eb-5-processing"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.americaeb5visa.com\/punjabi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faqs\/12564","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.americaeb5visa.com\/punjabi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faqs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.americaeb5visa.com\/punjabi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/faq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.americaeb5visa.com\/punjabi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.americaeb5visa.com\/punjabi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12564"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"faq-group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.americaeb5visa.com\/punjabi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq_groups?post=12564"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
