EB-5 Green Card Services

greencardsThe EB-5 Green Card law firm of IVENER & FULLMER LLP is available to help you pursue your goal of becoming a U.S. permanent resident through an EB-5 Green Card investment. Attorney Mark Ivener is a respected EB-5 Green Card author and frequent speaker who has advised hundreds of immigration attorneys on EB-5 Regional Center immigration procedures and helped numerous foreign national clients achieve U.S. permanent residence through the EB-5 Green Card category.

There are two EB-5 programs, the Regular Program and the Regional Center Program, and we offer legal assistance with both.

EB-5 Green Card Services For Regular & Regional Center Programs

IVENER & FULLMER is ready to provide you with comprehensive EB-5 Green Card services that apply to both the Regular and Regional Center programs, including:

  • Confirm the source and availability of funds available for your EB-5 Green Card business investment, which generally requires the submission of 5 years of tax filings
  • Advise on due diligence for your preferred business investment*
  • Prepare and file your I-526 petition as an alien entrepreneur with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS)
  • Once you are approved, we help you file for an Adjustment of Status or Immigrant Visa
  • When you are granted conditional resident status, we monitor your case during the 21-24 month wait period required to verify that the full investment has been made and 10 jobs created (if applicable)
  • We help you file the Form I-829 application to remove conditional resident status at the specified time to obtain permanent residence.

EB-5 Green Card Regional Center Application Services

The Regional Center program is ideal for the retiree or inactive investor due in large part to the “indirect employment creation” requirement and usual limited partner feature of this program. If you choose to invest $500,000 plus acquisition costs through one of more than 70+ Regional Centers, we can assist you by discussing the Regional Center program options that may be best suited to you.

There are several steps in the Regional Center program category which vary based on your individual circumstances. Click here to download our Regional Center EB-5 Immigrant Investor Flowchart (PDF).

  • Identify a “troubled business” that may allow you to create fewer than 10 new jobs
