    EB-5 is a three-step process: 1) Step one is to submit Form I-526 and supporting documentation. Approval does not confer any immigration status, but merely allows you to move to step 2; 2) Step 2 is the application for conditional permanent residence. If abroad, this application is done through a US Consular post outside the US or can be done in the US if already in the US in lawful status; and 3) Step 3 is when you must show that your investment created 10 full-time jobs and sustained your investment. If successful, you will be granted full permanent residence.

    You do not have to be in the United States. To begin you should seek the advice of an experienced attorney.

    You file a Form I-526 petition with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. You do not need to be in the United States to do so.

    You don''t have to be in the US. You need to have I-526 approved and then apply for visa at US consulate in your home country.
