I came to the United States on an F2 Visa Dec 2013 (My husband was the F1) with my kids then applied for asylum in April 2014. I am currently still in asylum and have a court date set for May. I want to first know if I qualify for the EB-5 and if any Adjustment of Status can be done in such little time. I also want all my children included and my daughter turns 21 this November. Do I still have time? I recently got a gift from a family member for an amount that would qualify me for the EB-5 program. I also do not know how to start and what to do if I qualify for the EB-5. Do I get a lawyer or a project first?

Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyYou should hire an experienced EB-5 immigration attorney to help you with this process. Based on the information you provided, I believe you could be eligible to file for EB-5 and concurrently Adjustment of Status. However, it is unlikely that the case would be reviewed before your asylum hearing.
