How can I apply for the EB-5 if I’m from a banned country?

I am Yemeni, and I want to apply for an EB-5 visa, but there is a travel ban on my country.
The question is: can I start the EB-5 process now, since it takes time, and when it is done, I’ll wait for the travel ban on my country to be lifted and then apply for the visa?

Yes, you answered your own question, the EB-5 process is rather lengthy. Are you planning on doing a direct or indirect investment? What industry are you interested in investing in?

Yes you can do that. It may be some time before you actually get to the stage where an immigration visa is issued.

Yes that is doable. We are optimistic that one of several pending court cases will eliminates these “pauses” on selected countries.
