Immigration AttorneysAs long as you and your family members are here and you each have a conditional green card, they may work for any company in the U.S. The primary investor is the only one who may have restrictions on employment, depending on whether the EB-5 investment was a direct investment or an investment through a regional center, and depending on how your role in the project is definedare you just a limited partner or are you playing an active role in the company? Please consult with an experienced EB-5 attorney to ensure that your conditional green card is protected.
