COVID-19 and the EB-5

Considering an EB-5 investment for a green card? The pandemic has changed things a bit. Here's a quick guide:

Challenges:

  • Processing delays: Expect longer wait times for petitions and applications due to USCIS slowdowns.

  • Travel restrictions: Pandemic restrictions may limit your ability to travel for interviews and project visits.

  • Project disruptions: The pandemic may have caused delays or financial challenges for some EB-5 projects.

  • Potential policy changes: Stay informed about possible changes to investment requirements or visa allocation.

How to navigate these challenges:

  • Do your research: Carefully assess project financials and understand pandemic impacts.

  • Manage risk: Weigh the risks and potential returns before investing.

  • Stay flexible: Adapt your strategy, communicate with developers, and seek professional guidance.

Remember: The EB-5 program still offers a path to a green card, but be prepared for a landscape shaped by COVID-19.
