r/EB5_Immigration

I’ve been in the U.S. for more than 15 years, and it seems very unlikely that my EB-2 India priority date of June 2015 will become current within the next three months. My son turns 21 in February 2027, so I’m considering EB-5. However, I’ve seen posts and comments saying that even EAD and Advance Parole applications filed in 2025 are still pending. What are my best options? My impression was CSPA does matter here, age will be locked with I-526E filing (say we file in Jan 2027) and concurrent filing 485 would allow him to stay and work..Please correct if this is wrong?

Did anyone else's concurrently filed I-485 get rejected recently with "visa not immediately available"? My I-526E was accepted (Sept last week priority date), but the I-485s were rejected, even though HUA was Current for in September and October. Trying to see if anyone had this issue.

I'm weighing EB-5 and the part I can't get real sense on is capital return and timelines. If you personally received your EB-5 capital back (full or most of it) along with green card, would you share:

• Regional center and project (or at least the type: hotel, mixed-use, infrastructure, loan vs equity)
• Amount repaid and whether it was full principal
• Timeline: filed I-526/I-526E → repaid
• Any problems on the way: redeployment, extensions, fees, communication
• Equally useful if you're past the expected repayment date and haven't been paid. Which RC, and what are they telling you?

Not looking for sales pitches or DMs from promoters, Looking for first-hand experiences only as I do not want to loose my capital for Green card.

They said more than 40 investors wired! How accurate it is? Any suggestions for project?

Hi all,

Posting here hoping to get some advice -

31 y/o, Chinese, been in the U.S. for half of my life, more American now than some of my American friends, but pathetically enough my life still depends on a visa.

Recently been seriously thinking about EB-5 (I know, should have done it a long time ago...) as EB-1 seems out of reach, and possibly still at least a few years from being able to try EB-2/NIW. I am having a very difficult time convincing myself to spend this 850k. Some more context - I am by no means rich, not a high earner, 850k is a LOT of money for me, this alone would wipe out about 90% of my liquid asset, and a decent chunk of my net worth. I am an avid investor and, the way I see it, this amount of money could easily be doubled in 4-6 years, which is kind of how long it would take for me to even get this money back (if at all) from this project.

On the flip side, a green card, or even a combo card, would be very very nice. I would finally not be limited by my job, and I can quit whenever I want, travel the world, this and that.

Anyone who's been in similar shoes? Looking for any insight or advice on what I should do, or a slap in the face lol.

This is lowkey also just a rant on how impossibly stupid hard it is to get PR in America. If I had gone anywhere else when I was 16, I would have probably had a different passport already.

Many thanks, I wish y'all who are waiting get your green cards asap.

Yes, I know I missed a couple of key timing this year before seriously considering doing eb5, a lot of personal changes happened recently which got me reconsider till now.

Realistically thinking, after 930 is eb5 still doable?

What is the likelyhood of it getting completely canceled in 2027. I know it is easy to say it is wise to wait until next year when all the policy is finalized, but I have some personal urgency to get status asap, is it some risk that is worth to take?

When can I get receipt ?anybody knows?thank you
