Immigration AttorneyThe dates on your visa are not relevant. Visa is only good to enter the U.S. but is not evidence of your legal status in the U.S. You need to look at your I-94, Arrival-Departure Card stapled to your passport. At the port of entry, the officer should have put the expiration date on it. This is the last day when you can stay in the U.S. Filing Form I-526 to qualify you as an EB-5 investor does not extend your stay in the U.S. If you do not receive an approval of I-526 and file for your green card before your status expires, you need to go home. If you would like to stay in the U.S. while the petition is pending, you need to be on another valid nonimmigrant status. If your I-526 is approved, you may then file for your green card application if you are in the U.S.
