How can I get an unsecured loan to apply for an EB-5 green card? I am a doctor and doing a fellowship in Cardiology. All of my friends are making roughly half a million after the fellowship. Given my background, I am sure I can get the loan. What is the process?

It is possible that with large income you can show the loan is legitimate and real, but there is some risk you will get a request for evidence and may have to fight to win this.
