What is the process of receiving a green card for an EB-5 investor currently living outside the U.S.?

The green card will be produced when you enter the United States. Your immigrant visa should be valid for six months. Make sure to enter the United States within that time frame. You must give a U.S. address, but it could be the address of a friend or of your attorney''s office.

Your permanent resident status does not vest until you enter the U.S. Your single-entry visa could very well expire if you do not enter the U.S. within the allotted time (usually six months).

You must enter the U.S. before the ending date on your immigrant visa. Go ahead and go online and pay the $220 for green card production. It won&#39t be produced until they see you timely entered the U.S. Thereafter, if you will be out of the USA for an extended time, you should apply for a re-entry permit or risk abandoning your green card. You will need to also pay taxes in both countries on your worldwide income.

Your U.S. immigrant visa is valid for six months. You must move to the United States within this time period of six months. You will receive your permanent resident card in the mail after you move to the United States.

You must enter the United States within six months of the issuance of your two-year conditional permanent residency visa on your passport. The green card will be mailed to the U.S. address you designate after you enter the U.S. You will get an I-551 stamp in your passport upon entry. This will act as your green card until you receive the actual plastic card in the mail within a couple of months. Sometimes, it could delay and arrive later, though.

When you enter you drop off that packet they gave you at the consulate, and then the green card will be mailed to your U.S. address.

If you received an immigrant visa in your passport after your consular interview, you must enter the U.S. within the visa validity period to become a conditional permanent resident. You cannot receive your green card until you get admitted and inspected at the US border even if you paid green card production fee in advance. You should designate a U.S. address for a green card to be mailed to. It generally arrives within 1-2 months of entry but occasionally may take up to 6 months to get produced. You will get a temporary I-551 stamp in your passport and your visa should have annotation that it serves as I-551 valid for 1 year upon annotation. This will serve as proof of permanent resident status. You may work and travel on this stamp in a valid foreign passport.

Answer: card production and issuance.

Once your EB-5 Petition on Form I-526 is approved, a visa number is available, you can apply for and receive your immigrant visa through the American Consular abroad. You have 180 days to enter and be admitted into the United States as a lawful permanent resident. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection will then put an I-551 stamp in your passport for one year, evidencing the fact you are a lawful permanent resident or a so-called "green card" holder, and they will mail your actual permanent resident card to your designated U.S. address. You must enter the U.S. within 180 days from the date your immigrant visa is issued.

The immigrant visa you were issued is valid for 6 months so be sure to use it and enter the U.S. within its validity. You will be given a temporary green card stamp in your passport at the airport upon reentry and the plastic card mailed to you in a few weeks. You should provide a U.S. address for the card since you would then be a permanent resident of the U.S.

You cannot get a green card until you physically immigrate to the U.S.
