Are there any legal obligations to disclose my EB-5 application to my employer?

Yes you should disclose - there is no limit on how many applications you have pending.

You do not have a legal obligation to disclose the pending I-526 petition of your wife to your employer. Your employer can sponsor you for a permanent residence process while the EB-5 case of your wife is pending.

You do not have an obligation to the employer per se. However, your immigration filing prepared by your employer''s counsel should be accurate and disclose another pending immigration petition to avoid misrepresenting information. USCIS will know about other filing and it is ok to have multiple immigrant petitions pending based on different categories.

The question is asked on the form and it is good to disclose all relevant facts on this form, especially since the officers can see it.

You should disclose your other immigration petitions which are pending - this will enable your employer''s attorneys to complete future visa petitions on your behalf with accurate information. You can absolutely have more than one green card petition pending at the same time.

In short, no. You do you and do what is best to take care of your family. Perfectly OK to have two petitions pending as long as you qualify for both. You can uphold your professional obligations to your employer while your EB-5 is pending (and if the shoe was on the other foot, employers do not necessarily look out for their employees all the time - especially in an economic downturn).
