I am Peruvian-Chilean, but have lived most of my life in Colombia. My Chilean nationality has allowed me entry into Europe without much issue. However, I plan to apply for the EB-5 visa and would like to know whether my dual nationality could pose any issues. Or having lived in Colombia for most of my adult life.

EB-5 Immigration attorneysFor adjudication purposes, USCIS or the Department of State will look at your country of birth. If your country of birth is a “paused” country and you have another nationality, they will consider that.

EB-5 Immigration attorneysDual nationality alone should have no effect on eligibility for an EB-5 visa. I recommend a consultation with an experienced EB-5 immigration attorney about your specific circumstances before proceeding.
