It is advisable to file the EB-5 application as soon as possible. H-1B is a dual intent visa.

You should file for EB-5 as soon as you are eligible to apply, as the process can take a considerable amount of time.

Yes, you can file an EB-5 petition while you are in H-1B status - this is very common.
