I am a Indian citizen and my I-526 was received on 12/10/2018 but hasn”t been approved yet. I want to plan for the worst case, what happens if the EB-5 regional center program are not extended? What are the quicker ways for my case to get the permanent residency? I am in the USA on F1-STEM OPT which is valid till 06/2023.

Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyNothing quick for Indians unless you qualify for EB-1A. Usual route is with an employer offer and then labor certification and in the queue awaiting a visa.

Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyThere are many options besides EB-5. There are EB-1 for top people, EB-2 for masters and EB-3 for others, but EB-2/3 are backlogged for Indian nationals subject India quota. There are also family-based visa options including immediate relative and F2A, spouse of permanent resident.
